Structural analysis of intrinsically disordered proteins: computer atomistic simulation [PDF]
, 2016 Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are biomolecules that do not have a definite 3D structure; their role in the biochemical network of a cell relates to their ability to switch rapidly among different secondary and tertiary structures.

From Nature to Engineering: Mortar Volume and Interfacial Mechanics in Bioinspired Ceramics
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Inspired by natural armors like nacre, this study explores how varying the volume fraction of the soft mortar layer impacts the interfacial strength and toughness of bioinspired ceramics. Experimental and computational analysis reveals that higher mortar volumes increase energy dissipation but reduce interfacial stiffness, offering insights for ...

O-GlcNAc modification blocks the aggregation and toxicity of the protein α-synuclein associated with Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
, 2015 Several aggregation-prone proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases can be modified by O-linked N-acetyl-glucosamine (O-GlcNAc) in vivo. One of these proteins, α-synuclein, is a toxic aggregating protein associated with synucleinopathies ...

Differential Compartmentalization of Enzymatic Reactions for Lactate Signaling Across Protocells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Two populations of protocells consisting of giant unilamellar vesicles containing active species and distinct artificial organelles are competent of collective behavior by mimicking production, intercellular communication, and detection of the bioinspired signal molecule lactate. Enzymatic cascade reactions within artificial organelles demonstrate that

Tau Proteins and Neurofibrillary Degeneration
Brain Pathology, 1991 The paired helical filament is the major fibrous component of neurofibrillary pathology in Alzheimer's disease. Over the last three years evidence has accumulated that the microtubule‐associated protein tau forms an important, if not the sole, constituent of the paired helical filament.

Transducer Materials Mediated Deep Brain Stimulation in Neurological Disorders
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review discusses advanced transducer materials for improving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in neurological disorders. These materials respond to light, ultrasound, or magnetic fields, enabling precise, less invasive neuromodulation. Their stimulus‐responsive properties enhance neural control and adaptive therapy, paving the way for next‐generation ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...
