De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Inhibition of Thiol‐Mediated Uptake with Irreversible Covalent Inhibitors

Jérôme Waser, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du, Elija Grinhagena, Abhaya Kumar Mishra

Thiol-mediated uptake is emerging as method of choice to penetrate cells. This study focuses on irreversible covalent inhibitors of thiol-mediated uptake. High-content high-throughput screening of the so far largest collection of hypervalent iodine reagent ...

Tissue Factor-Independent Coagulation Correlates with Clinical Phenotype in Factor XI Deficiency and Replacement Therapy

Christian Heinis, Vanessa Carle

Background In factor XI (FXI) deficiency, bleeding cannot be predicted by routine analyses. Since FXI is involved in tissue factor (TF)-independent propagation loop of coagulation, we hypothesized that investigating the spatiotemporal separated phases of c ...

De novo development of proteolytically resistant therapeutic peptides for oral administration

Christian Heinis, Florence Pojer, Luciano Andres Abriata, Xudong Kong, Kaycie Marie Butler, Vanessa Carle

The oral administration of peptide drugs is hampered by their metabolic instability and limited intestinal uptake. Here, we describe a method for the generation of small target-specific peptides (less than 1,600 Da in size) that resist gastrointestinal pro ...

Method and system for analysis of organic material by auto-cathodoluminescence

Hans Mattias Larsson, Marcin Stefan Zielinski

Analyzing isolated collagen gel samples of a rat-tail and bovine hide, we demonstrated in situ detection of spectrally deconvoluted auto-cathodoluminescence signatures of specific molecular content with precise spatial localization over a maximum field of ...

Development of cyclic peptide inhibitors of coagulation factor XIa for safer anticoagulation

Vanessa Carle

Hemostasis is a complex physiological process responsible for the prevention of blood loss caused by vascular injury. The dysregulation of this delicate mechanism can lead to thromboembolic diseases, the leading cause of death worldwide. Anticoagulants are ...

Quantitative intrinsic auto-cathodoluminescence can resolve spectral signatures of tissue-isolated collagen extracellular matrix

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Marcin Stefan Zielinski

By analyzing isolated collagen gel samples, we demonstrated in situ detection of spectrally deconvoluted auto-cathodoluminescence signatures of specific molecular content with precise spatial localization over a maximum field of view of 300 mu m. Correlati ...

Acylated heptapeptide binds albumin with high affinity and application as tag furnishes long-acting peptides

Christian Heinis, Alessandro Zorzi, Jonas Alfred Karl Wilbs, Kaycie Marie Butler, Simon Jan Middendorp

The rapid renal clearance of peptides in vivo limits this attractive platform for the treatment of a broad range of diseases that require prolonged drug half-lives. An intriguing approach for extending peptide circulation times works through a 'piggy-back' ...

Microdevice for Sedimentation-based Separation of Blood Microsamples at the Point of Collection

David Forchelet

Laboratory blood testing plays a central role in current diagnostics and therapeutical decisions. Thus, errors have a direct impact on care quality and cost. The majority of errors occur in the pre-analytical phase, when samples are collected, stored and p ...

Human Kunitz-type protease inhibitor engineered for enhanced matrix retention extends longevity of fibrin biomaterials

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Hans Mattias Larsson, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez

Aprotinin is a broad-spectrum serine protease inhibitor used in the clinic as an anti-fibrinolytic agent in fibrin-based tissue sealants. However, upon re-exposure, some patients suffer from hypersensitivity immune reactions likely related to the bovine or ...

IGF-1-containing multi-layered collagen-fibrin hybrid scaffolds for bladder tissue engineering

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Peter Frey, Hans Mattias Larsson, Priscilla Suhasna Maithili Briquez, Elif Vardar

Clinical success of bladder reconstructive procedures could be promoted by the availability of functional biomaterials. In this study, we have developed a multi-layered scaffold consisting of a bioactive fibrin layer laminated between two collagen sheets a ...

Bio-engineered collagen-fibrin scaffolds for enhancing urological tissue regeneration

Elif Vardar

Urological tissue engineering offers alternative solutions for congenital and acquired diseases of the urinary tract, which may require reconstructive surgery. It evolves to overcome complications, which might be encountered after surgery. Therefore, tissu ...

Biofunctional Scaffold Design for Soft Tissue Regeneration

Fibrin has long been used clinically for hemostasis and sealing and has been extensively characterized as a biomaterial. Yet, in terms of harnessing its potential for use in tissue regeneration, there remains a wide gap between in vitro experimentation and ...

Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator induces blood-brain barrier breakdown by a matrix metalloproteinase-9-independent pathway after transient focal cerebral ischemia in mouse

Rafaela Fernandes Da Silva, Jean-Christophe Copin

The role of the inducible matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 in blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption after ischemic stroke is well accepted. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (r-tPA) is the only approved thrombolytic treatment of ischemic stroke but r ...

Rat bladder muscle regeneration induced by local delivery of an engineered insulin-like growth factor 1 in fibrin gels

Currently, both congenital abnormalities and developmental problems of the bladder in children, and other dysfunctions in adults, require reconstructive surgery. Such correction involves transplant action of native tissues (such as gastrointestinal segment ...

Control of thrombin signaling through PI3K is a mechanism underlying plasticity between hair follicle dermal sheath and papilla cells

Yann Barrandon

In hair follicles, dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (DS) cells exhibit striking levels of plasticity, as each can regenerate both cell types. Here, we show that thrombin induces a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway-dependent acquisition of D ...
