Birefringence of tropomyosin crystals
Biophysical Journal, 1988 The birefringence of tropomyosin crystals was measured in the temperature range 5 degrees-35 degrees C. The experimental results are compared with a simple model calculation based on the theory developed by Wiener for the optical properties of colloidal systems.

Neurovascular coupling in bone regeneration: Mechanisms, advanced biomaterials and challenges
BMEMat, EarlyView.This figure illustrates various material strategies for neurovascularized bone regeneration, including electroactive scaffolds, ion‐loaded materials, drug delivery systems, surface modifications, cells/cell products, growth factors, and peptides. These approaches aim to synergistically promote the regeneration of neural, vascular, and bone tissues ...

A De Novo Peptide That Induces Axonal Growth Through TrkB Activation. [PDF]
ChembiochemA homodimeric anti‐TrkB macrocyclic peptide, DiTrbL3, originally discovered by the RaPID system as monomeric form, dimerizes the TrkB receptor and activate the downstream signaling. DiTrbL3 acts as a mimic of BDNF (the natural protein ligand) and stimulates hippocampal neurons to extend axons.

From Caffeine to Aspirin: Everyday Molecules as Triggers for Genetically Encoded Proximity Systems
Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.This Perspective article highlights how familiar dietary ingredients and over‐the‐counter (OTC) drugs (such as caffeine and its metabolites, SA, and aspirin) can be repurposed as clinically translatable chemical triggers for genetically encoded proximity systems.

Isoform Specificity of a Compound Targeting Actin Filaments Containing Tropomyosin Tpm1.8/1.9
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The unbranched actin filaments in mammalian cells are usually composed of co‐polymers of a specific tropomyosin isoform with actin. Genetic manipulation has revealed that the tropomyosins largely define the functional properties of actin filaments in an isoform‐specific, non‐redundant manner.

Assembly and Maintenance of Myofibrils in the Heart
Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The assembly of actin and myosin to the paracrystalline arrangement of myofibrils in striated muscle, that is, heart and skeletal, has puzzled many a cell biologist. Different models, based on cultured cardiomyocytes, were proposed for the last 30 years to explain the sequence of events.
