Utilizing the Metastability of Spidroins as a Strategy for Improving Mechanical Properties of Biomimetic Spider Silk Fibers

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Phase transitions are central for the assembly of recombinant silk proteins into fibers. Soluble protein can transition into condensed states such as condensates and gels. These states are metastable and evolve in a time‐dependent way. Metastability depends on the protein sequence, and this relationship can be used to enhance the mechanical properties ...

HECTD1-mediated SFTPB overexpression in fibrotic lung induced by silica

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
Alveolar epithelial cells type 2 are lung progenitor and secretory cells capable of secreting four surfactant proteins, namely surfactant protein A (SFTPA), surfactant protein B (SFTPB), surfactant protein C (SFTPC), and surfactant protein D (SFTPD ...

Protective Effect of Surfactant Protein D in Pulmonary Vaccinia Virus Infection: Implication of A27 Viral Protein

Viruses, 2013
Vaccinia virus (VACV) was used as a surrogate of variola virus (VARV) (genus Orthopoxvirus), the causative agent of smallpox, to study Orthopoxvirus infection. VARV is principally transmitted between humans by aerosol droplets.

Genetics of the hydrophobic surfactant proteins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1998
The hydrophobic surfactant proteins, SP-B and SP-C, serve important roles in surfactant function and metabolism. Both proteins are encoded by single genes, located on human chromosomes 2 and 8 respectively, which have been characterized and extensively studied.

Nanoamphizymes: Self‐Assembled Amphiphilic Enzymatic Nanomaterials for High‐Performance Biocatalysis and Biosensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An amphiphilic GOx nanoamphizyme was constructed by covalently introducing hydrophobic PPNI linkers onto GOx, enabling spontaneous self‐assembly into tunable nanoparticles. Mild crosslinking further stabilized the assemblies and enhanced catalytic performance and stability.

Remote Activation of Wnt Signaling and Cell Proliferation by E‐Cadherin Magnetomechanical Stimulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A pioneering magnetogenetic toolkit enables non‐invasive, precise spatiotemporal modulation of intracellular Wnt/β‐catenin signaling. Functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs@E/EC15) target cellular E‐cadherins to generate localized magnetomechanical forces under low‐intensity magnetic fields.

Interactions of surfactant protein A with pathogens

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Basis of Disease, 1998
The lung is an organ with a large inner surface that is continuously in contact with the environment. Infection of this organ is prevented by several mechanisms. A recently described defence system is collectin-mediated innate immunity of the lung. Collectins are multimeric proteins characterized by carbohydrate recognition domains bound to collagen ...

Configuration‐Encoded Cell Alignment by Light‐Gated Silicon Photovoltaic Microcell Arrays

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐gated silicon photovoltaic microcells convert pulsed illumination into localized electrical cues. Arranging otherwise similar microcells into four‐lobed, six‐lobed, or circular patterns directs fibroblasts into corresponding local arrangements without wired stimulation.
