Nonviral vectors continue to be attractive alternatives to viruses due to their low toxicity and
immunogenicity, lack of pathogenicity, and ease of pharmacologic production. However, …

Targeting of drugs and their carrier systems by using receptor-mediated endocytotic
pathways was in its nascent stages 25years ago. In the intervening years, an explosion of …

Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) constitute a genetically engineered class of ‘protein polymers’
derived from human tropoelastin. They exhibit a reversible phase separation whereby …

Denaturation of DNA photolyase (deoxyribodipyrimidine photolyase, EC 4.1.99.3) from
Escherichia coli with guanidine hydrochloride or acidification to pH 2 released, in addition to FAD…

To explore mechanisms of nanoparticle interactions with and trafficking across lung alveolar
epithelium, we utilized primary rat alveolar epithelial cell monolayers (RAECMs) and an …

This study reports a general method of labeling enveloped viruses with semiconductor
quantum dots (QDs) for use in single virus trafficking studies. Retroviruses, including human …

Sjögren's syndrome (SjS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized initially by lymphocytic
infiltration and destruction of exocrine glands, followed by systemic organ damage and …

Cyclotides are plant-derived proteins that naturally exhibit various biological activities and
whose unique cyclic structure makes them remarkably stable and resistant to denaturation or …

We investigated trafficking of polystyrene nanoparticles (PNPs; 20 and 100 nm; carboxylate,
sulfate, or aldehyde-sulfate modified [negatively charged] and amidine-modified [positively …

Objective The diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome (SS) in routine practice is largely a clinical
one and requires a high index of suspicion by the treating physician. This great dependence …
