Nonfouling Coatings from Synthetic Intrinsically Disordered Proteins.
Journal Article Small (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany) · August 2025 The antifouling performance of a previously developed triblock protein, B-M-E is optimized, that self-assembles on gold surfaces to form a nonfouling layer by modifying the sequence of its E block. In this protein, B is a gold-binding domain, M is a trimer ... Full text CiteSpatiotemporal Control of IL-12 Delivery Improves Its Efficacy in Treatment of Solid Tumors
Journal Article Advanced Therapeutics · August 1, 2025 Despite renewed interest in IL-12 as a cancer immunotherapy due to its ability to stimulate the adaptive immune system, its short half-life and narrow therapeutic window continues to present challenges for effective delivery. Previous studies with IL-12 ha ... Full text CiteSynthetic biomolecular condensates enhance translation from a target mRNA in living cells.
Journal Article Nat Chem · March 2025 Biomolecular condensates composed of proteins and RNA are one approach by which cells regulate post-transcriptional gene expression. Their formation typically involves the phase separation of intrinsically disordered proteins with a target mRNA, sequesteri ... Full text Link to item CiteRecent Grants
