Design of intrinsically disordered proteins that undergo phase transitions with lower critical solution temperatures

APL Materials, 2021
Many naturally occurring elastomers are intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) built up of repeating units, and they can demonstrate two types of thermoresponsive phase behavior.

Immunogenic-cell-killing and immunosuppression-inhibiting nanomedicine

Bioactive Materials, 2021
Combining chemo-therapeutics with immune checkpoint inhibitors facilitates killing cancer cells and activating the immune system through inhibiting immune escape. However, their treatment effects remain limited due to the compromised accumulation of both
