Synthetic 3D PEG-Anisogel Tailored with Fibronectin Fragments Induce Aligned Nerve Extension

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Delphine Lorraine Perle Blondel

An enzymatically cross-linked polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based hydrogel was engineered to promote and align nerve cells in a three-dimensional manner. To render the injectable, otherwise bioinert, PEG-based material supportive for cell growth, its mechanica ...

Classification of Healthy and Cancer States of Colon Epithelial Tissues Using Opto-magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy

Marko Baros, Ivan Dimitrijevic

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) as a major health problem in industrialized countries is highly preventable and can be successfully treated in the early stages. However, incidence and mortality of CRC has increased over the last two decades. The reason could be ...

The modern analogue of a Cretaceous coral with a calcitic skeleton

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

It was argued that, in contrast to all known modern scleractinian corals that form aragonite skeletons, the original mineralogy of the Cretaceous "Coelosmilia" (ca. 70-65 Ma) was calcite during a period when the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratio of the seawater was presumab ...

Mutation update: TGFBI pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in corneal dystrophies

Human transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI), is a gene responsible for various corneal dystrophies. TGFBI produces a protein called TGFBI, which is involved in cell adhesion and serves as a recognition sequence for integrins. An alteration in cel ...

Cytosolic delivery and characterization of monobodies interfering with SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interactions

Nadine Eliane Schmit

Targeted cancer therapy is a very promising concept; however, small molecule inhibitors only exist for a limited number of oncoproteins and resistance development limits their clinical use. Different engineered non-antibody scaffolds are being explored to ...

Kinase-templated abiotic reaction

Sandrine Madeleine Suzanne Georgeon, Oliver Hantschel

Protein kinases are quintessential regulators of cellular function. Numerous pathologies are intimately linked to the dysregulated activity of a particular protein kinase. Herein we report a technology based on a proximity-induced chemical transformation t ...
