α‐Synuclein Forms Distinct Micelle‐Like Assemblies at Low Ionic Strengths
At high ionic strength, α‐synuclein forms diverse assemblies, including oligomers, fibrils, and condensates. Here, we show that at low ionic strength, α‐synuclein adopts a distinct, low‐abundance assembly state. These assemblies maintain a constant size above a critical concentration and do not coalesce, suggesting a micelle‐like organization ...

Mesoporous mixed ionic‐electronic PU/PEDOT: PSS electrodes enable label‐free detection of stochastic extracellular bioelectrical dynamics in living Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Living diatoms actively modulate interfacial ionic dynamics, establishing stochastic electrochemical noise as a sensitive probe of microbial bioelectrochemical activity and a new ...

In defense of the lung: surfactant protein A and surfactant protein D
Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2006The lung is repeatedly exposed to inhaled particles and pathogens that are cleared by the actions of a multi-component innate host defense system. The pulmonary collectins--surfactant proteins A (SP-A) and D (SP-D)--play important roles in innate host defense by binding and clearing invading microbes from the lung.

Pulmonary Surfactant and Drug Delivery: Focusing on the Role of Surfactant Proteins
Pulmonary surfactant (PS) has been extensively studied because of its primary role in mammalian breathing. The deposition of this surface-active material at the alveolar air-water interface is essential to lower surface tension, thus avoiding alveolar collapse during expiration. In addition, PS is involved in host defense, facilitating the clearance of
