Efficient Direct Cytosolic Protein Delivery via Protein-Linker Co-engineering

Colleen Noel Loynachan, Francesco Stellacci, Lixia Wei, Heyun Wang, Suiyang Liao, Melis Özkan

Protein therapeutics have enormous potential for transforming the treatment of intracellular cell disorders, such as genetic disorders and cancers. Due to proteins’ cell-membrane impermeability, protein-based drugs against intracellular targets require eff ...

Rescue of secretion of rare-disease-associated misfolded mutant glycoproteins in UGGT1 knock-out mammalian cells

Maurizio Molinari

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) retention of misfolded glycoproteins is mediated by the ER-localized eukaryotic glycoprotein secretion checkpoint, UDP-glucose glycoprotein glucosyl-transferase (UGGT). The enzyme recognizes a misfolded glycoprotein and flags it ...

Charge-Selectively Permeable Self-Healing Microcapsules

Esther Amstad, Chuen-Ru Li

Microcapsules possessing a selective permeability are well-suited vessels for conducting cell studies or chemical reactions that require selective exchanges of reagents over a prolonged time. Most currently reported microcapsules are single-use delivery ca ...

Generation of a Gal4-dependent gene recombination and illuminating mouse

Freddy Radtke

Cell labeling technologies, including the Cre/loxP system, are powerful tools in developmental biology. Although the conventional Cre/loxP system has been extensively used to label the expression of specific genes, it is less frequently used for labeling p ...

Nanobridge Stencil Enabling High Resolution Arbitrarily Shaped Metallic Thin Films on Various Substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Yi-Chiang Sun

Stencil lithography (SL), which uses a perforated membrane as a reusable shadow mask to locally add material patterns on substrates provides a simple but versatile approach for the fabrication of functional devices on a large variety of substrate materials ...

The Differential Distribution of RAPTA-T in Non-Invasive and Invasive Breast Cancer Cells Correlates with Its Anti-Invasive and Anti-Metastatic Effects

Paul Joseph Dyson, Anders Meibom, Graham Knott, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Catherine Maclachlan

Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be a powerful approach to visualize the exact distribution of drugs at the sub-cellular level. In this work, we exploit this approach to identify ...

Rapid optimisation of a lactate biosensor design using soft probes scanning electrochemical microscopy

Hubert Girault, Andreas Stephan Lesch, Fernando Cortes Salazar

We report the mapping of biocatalytically active surfaces, particularly on an express search for optimal immobilization conditions of the enzyme lactate oxidase by means of scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM). With this aim, soft stylus SECM probes ...

Biophysical Basis of the Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Signal in the Rat Brain

Nicolas Kunz

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used in-vivo in a vast array of applications, such as anatomical imaging (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), localized chemical composition characterization (magnetic resonance spectroscopy, MRS), cellular structure a ...

Cadmium selenide nanocrystals for specific interactions with biomolecules

Isabelle Geissbühler Bärlocher

The goal of this work was to produce water-soluble fluorescent semiconductor nanocrystals suitable to interact specifically with biomolecules and thereby creating hybrid supramolecular structures composed of nanocrystals and proteins. Hydrophobic TOPO-coat ...
