In Vitro Cellular Uptake Studies of Self-Assembled Fluorinated Nanoparticles Labelled with Antibodies
(MDPI, 2021-07-24)
Nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with antibodies (Abs) on their surface are used in a wide range of bioapplications. Whereas the attachment of antibodies to single NPs to trigger the internalization in cells via ...
Molecular ruler mechanism and interfacial catalysis of the integral membrane acyltransferase PatA
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2021-10)
[EN]Glycolipids are prominent components of bacterial membranes that play critical roles not only in maintaining the structural integrity of the cell but also in modulating host-pathogen interactions. PatA is an essential ...
FORTIS: a Live-Cell Assay to Monitor AMPA Receptors Using pH-Sensitive Fluorescence Tags
(Nature, 2021-05-27)
The real-time live fluorescent monitoring of surface AMPA receptors (AMPARs) could open new opportunities for drug
discovery and phenotypic screening concerning neuropsychiatric disorders. We have developed FORTIS, a tool ...
Fluorine Labeling of Nanoparticles and In Vivo 19F Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(American Chemical Society, 2021-03-24)
Fluorinated nanoparticles have increasing applications, but they are still challenging to prepare, especially in the case of water-soluble fluorinated nanoparticles. Herein, a fluorine labeling strategy is presented that ...
Incorporation of Antibiotics into Solid Lipid Nanoparticles: A Promising Approach to Reduce Antibiotic Resistance Emergence
(MDPI, 2021-05-10)
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health as current antibiotics are becoming useless against resistant infectious pathogens. Consequently, new antimicrobial strategies are urgently required. ...
Single-Aminoacid Discrimination in Proteins with Homogeneous Nanopore Sensors and Neural Networks
(Elsevier, 2021-05-15)
A technology capable of sequencing individual protein molecules would revolutionize our understanding of biological processes. Nanopore technology can analyze single heteropolymer molecules such as DNA by measuring the ...
Focal accumulation of aromaticity at the CDRH3 loop mitigates 4E10 polyreactivity without altering its HIV neutralization profile
(Cell Press, 2021-09-24)
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 are frequently associated with the presence of autoreactivity/polyreactivity, a property that can limit their use as therapeutic agents. The bnAb 4E10, targeting the ...
Super-Resolution Microscopy Using a Bioorthogonal-Based Cholesterol Probe Provides Unprecedented Capabilities for Imaging Nanoscale Lipid Heterogeneity in Living Cells
(Wiley, 2021-09)
Despite more than 20 years of work since the lipid raft concept was proposed, the existence of these nanostructures remains highly controversial due to the lack of noninvasive methods to investigate their native nanorganization ...
Solvent-Based Elimination of Organic Matter from Marine-Collected Plastics
(MDPI, 2021-07-20)
The physical-chemical characterization of plastic litter from the marine environment requires the prior removal of the biofouling attached to their surface without causing any degradation in the polymer. The absence of a ...
The commensal bacterium Lactiplantibacillus plantarum imprints innate memory-like responses in mononuclear phagocytes
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-07-05)
Gut microbiota is a constant source of antigens and stimuli to which the resident immune system has developed tolerance. However, the mechanisms by which mononuclear phagocytes, specifically monocytes/macrophages, cope ...
