Targeting DNA‐LNPs to Endothelial Cells Improves Expression Magnitude, Duration, and Specificity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Attaching antibodies against endothelial cell surface proteins redirects the delivery and expression of DNA‐lipid nanoparticles to organs of interest. Our targeted nanoparticles enable organ‐selective DNA expression in the endothelium of the lungs, brain, or spleen, providing a therapeutic platform for dozens of endothelial‐centric diseases.

The General Symptom Questionnaire-30 (GSQ-30): A Brief Measure of Multi-System Symptom Burden in Lyme Disease

Frontiers in Medicine, 2019
Introduction: The multi-system symptoms accompanying acute and post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome pose a challenge for time-limited assessment. The General Symptom Questionnaire (GSQ-30) was developed to fill the need for a brief patient-reported ...

Stimuli‐Responsive Supramolecular Biomaterials for Cancer Theranostics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ultimate goal of cancer theranostics is to get imaging agents and therapeutic cargo to tumor sites when and where they are required. “Smart” systems should be developed. This review discusses the characteristics of physiological stimuli, types and action modes of external stimuli, construction approaches and working principles, as well as ...

NIR Ratiometric Fluorescent Antibody‐Drug Conjugate for Metastatic Ovarian Cancer Theranostics and Treatment Response Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In vivo optical imaging enhances antibody‐drug conjugate (ADC) optimization by enabling real‐time monitoring of stimulus‐responsive drug behavior. We report n501‐CYMMAF, a ratiometric theranostic with strong target affinity and low‐dose efficacy for ovarian metastasis.

Investigation Into the Dynamics of the Cupula in the Vestibular Organ of Adult Zebrafish Using Metabolic Glycoengineering

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The cupula is a membrane within the vestibular organ that senses rotatory accelerations of the head. Metabolic glycoengineering in combination with bioorthogonal labeling demonstrates that in adult zebrafish – being a model for the human inner ear – this membrane is constantly renewed.
