Investigating how conjugation chemistry influences targeted nanoparticles: in their latest work, Michael Zaleski, Jake Brenner at the University of Pennsylvania and collaborators demonstrated that the commonly used conjugation chemistries for antibody-targeted nanoparticles play a direct role in activating the complement cascade of plasma proteins. This complement activation significantly alters nanoparticle biodistribution, leading to up to a 140-fold increase in uptake by lung phagocytes, and causes various toxicities, including a 50% reduction in platelet count https://lnkd.in/eK-7X7zj Their findings underscore the critical importance of conjugation chemistry in advancing nanomedicine, emphasising that it is not without risk and must be carefully designed with consideration for opsonins like complement.

Designing a novel liposome system for multi-stage drug release: in their latest work,Yuval Elani at Imperial College London and collaborators have developed an innovative engineering strategy that integrates microfluidics and conjugation chemistry to create nanosized liposomes with dual discrete compartments, one nested within the other, which they call concentrisomes https://lnkd.in/eZirFw5G This approach has enabled the engineering of particles capable of multi-stage release and stimuli-responsive enzymatic synthesis within the particle.

Uncover the Potential of Triazolopyrimidine Derivatives in Neuropathic Pain and Chronic Cough! In an exciting development published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, a team of researchers led by Ga-Ram Kim et al., have discovered a new class of P2X3 receptor antagonists, triazolopyrimidine derivatives. Utilizing cryo-electron microscopy, the research reveals that these compounds bind to a previously unknown allosteric site on the P2X3 receptor, stabilizing it in a desensitized state and effectively blocking ion channels. This breakthrough opens new avenues for developing treatments with fewer side effects. Read the full article here https://lnkd.in/e2smSbDv and order this revolutionizing compound from our stock: https://lnkd.in/e25dZxfN

Structured protein domains are modulators of biomolecular condensate form and function Structured protein domains are pervasive within cellular biomolecular condensates. Two unique properties distinguish structured protein domains from disordered protein domains within condensates: high interaction specificity and low conformational heterogeneity. Through highly specific interactions – including protein-protein binding, oligomerization, and RNA-binding – structured protein domains can dictate condensate formation, material properties, and functions. A condensate’s chemical environment can cause conformational rearrangement or unfolding of structured protein domains, which in turn can inform condensate behavior and properties. A complete understanding of condensate biophysics will necessitate a thorough characterization of structured protein domains within condensates. #sciencenewshighlights #ScienceMission https://lnkd.in/gnH32xSR https://lnkd.in/gFH8h-Pn

Really pleased that my first article has been published in Analytical Chemistry. Hence, we develope a novel biosensing nanotechnology-based method for AβO determination in Alzheirmer's Patients. Its great performance allows a cheap, fast (5 minutes) and precise detection in ultra-low samples (5 µL). The Alzheimer Disease diagnosis is a huge challenge, althougth with this method we are closer to a decentralised blood-based sensor.

Spectral flow cytometry continues to push the boundaries of multiparameter cell analysis, enabling researchers to delve deeper into cellular subsets and integrate results with high-performance cell sorting. Join our webinar on August 29th, as Dr. Andrew Draghi, II Ph.D., MS from Sony Biotechnology Inc. demonstrates the power of the FP7000 Spectral Cell Sorter. He’ll guide you through the design and analysis of 20+ color panels using the ID7000™ Spectral Cell Analyzer and show how to efficiently transition these panels to the FP7000 without the need for panel optimization or redesign - saving both time and reagents. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to design high-parameter spectral panels - register to attend the live event or catch the recording afterwards: https://lnkd.in/di-92wuQ #flowcytometry #spectral #spectralflowcytometry #cellanalysis #cellsorting

A rhodamine-based sensor PMS and a rhodamine-BODIPY Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-pair sensor PRS have been incorporated with a piperazine linker and an O−N−S−N podand ligand for specific recognition of Pd2+ ion. Both probes displayed colorimetric and fluorescent ratiometric changes when exposed to Pd2+, due to their spirolactam rings opening and restoring rhodamine conjugation. PRS is highly selective to Pd2+ over 22 other metal ions, showing a 0.6-fold ratiometric difference at I600nm/I515nm. Additionally, the lactam ring in Pd2+ coordinated PRS-Pd could be switched back to the closed form in the presence of various thiols, providing a “red-green traffic light” detection mechanism between red and green emission. Furthermore, PRS showed excellent cell viability and was successfully employed to image Pd2+ and the PRS-Pd complex ensemble could interchangeably detect biothiols including glutathione (GSH) in A549 human lung cancer cells. https://lnkd.in/gCaYuphV ⭐ 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘆’𝘀 𝗢𝗔 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Learn about our OA Agreements: https://bit.ly/hkbuOA #chemistry #cancer #cell #lung #research #openaccess #article #science #hkbu #library
