This week’s Advanced Healthcare Materials covers.
Life Science
“Why Are We Interested in Monocytes?”
Various views on the same cell are discussed in a recent Special Issue on Monocytes and Marcophages.
The Best Models of Metabolism
This Review outlines the metabolic model design process and discusses the numerous choices for modeling frameworks and mathematical representations.
Quantification of Epithelial Cell Proliferation, Cell Dynamics and Cell Kinetics In Vivo
A review of methods that can be applied to study the control of proliferation (and the proliferative hierarchy, especially the role of the elusive stem cells) in a wide variety of animal models.
The Mummy: Cangrande della Scala in Life and Protein Science
Researchers report a study on the proteins of the natural mummy of Cangrande della Scala (Prince of Verona, Northern Italy).
Monoubiquitination: A New Signal for Proteasomal Degradation
In their review in BioEssays, Ido Livneh et al. discuss recent findings that establish monoubiquitination as a proteasomal targeting signal.
Nano-Architecture in Nature: Teeth Without Minerals
The unmineralized teeth of the giant keyhole limpet are shown to have mechanical properties similar to those of mineralized mammalian bones.
Using “DNA Flowers” as Carriers for Protein Delivery
In-situ assembled flower-shaped DNA constructs can be used for an efficient intracellular protein delivery.
ParaStamp Rewritable Microarrays for Cell Patterning and Drug Screening
For fundamental biological studies or complex investigations of drug behaviour, ParaStamp is a powerful enabling technology.
Catching Antibodies with Protein Nanofibrils
Engineerined protein nanofibrils show a much higher binding capacity for antibody purification compared to current gold standard.
