Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease present a significant global health concern. The misfolding of proteins from native disordered monomeric forms into beta-sheet enriched aggregates of oligomers and fibri ...
We developed a rational approach to design peptide-based covalent inhibitors and coupled the inhibitors with antibodies for cell-specific delivery. We used this platform to generate antibody-peptide inhibitor conjugates (APICs) that target a family of prot ...
Cardiomyocyte alignment in myocardium tissue plays a significant role in the physiological, electrical, and mechanical functions of the myocardium. It remains, however, difficult to align cardiac cells in a 3D in vitro heart model. This paper proposes a si ...
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) play important roles in many diseases and their modulation is an attractive strategy for developing new therapeutics. However, the relatively large and often flat binding surfaces of PPIs makes the development of inhibit ...
Prostate cancer is a life-threatening malignant disease, one the most common cancer types in men and leading cause of death among men because of cancer. Considering the state of the art for the diagnosis of prostate cancer a man overall has to suffer uncom ...
Cell cycle synchronization is an important tool for the study of the cell division stages and signalling. It provides homogeneous cell cultures that are of importance to develop and improve processes such as protein synthesis and drug screening. The main a ...
Organic small molecules are of particular interest for medicinal chemistry since they comprise many biologically active compounds which are potential drugs. To understand this vast chemical space, we are enumerating all possible organic molecules to create ...
Lacteals are the entry point of all dietary lipids into the circulation, yet little is known about the active regulation of lipid uptake by these lymphatic vessels, and there lacks in vitro models to study the lacteal-enterocyte interface. We describe an i ...
