Timed-Release Polymer Nanoparticles.
Abstract Triggered-release of encapsulated therapeutics from nanoparticles without remote or environmental triggers was demonstrated in this work. Disassembly of the polymer nanoparticles to unimers at precise times allowed the controlled release of oligo DNA. The polymers used in this study consisted of a hydrophilic block for stabilization and second thermoresponsive block for self-assembly and disassembly. At temperatures below the second block's LCST (i.e., below 37 °C for in vitro assays), the diblock copolymer was fully water-soluble, and when heated to 37 °C, the polymer self-assembled into a narrow size d...

Aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles: preservation of targeting functionality demonstrated by microchip electrophoresis in frontal mode.
Abstract Aptamer-conjugated nanoparticles (Apt-NPs) are increasingly being developed for biomedical purposes and especially for diagnosis and therapy. However, there is no quantitative study of the targeting functionality of such grafted aptamers compared to free aptamers. Thus, we report the first determination of binding parameters for Apt-NP/target complexes, thanks to a continuous frontal analysis in a microchip electrophoresis format (FACMCE), based on a methodology previously developed by our group. As a model system, the targeting ability of a lysozyme-binding aptamer conjugated to fluorescent maghemite nano...

Bovine Serum Albumin Nanospheres Synchronously Encapsulating "Gold Selenium/Gold" Nanoparticles and Photosensitizer for High-Efficiency Cancer Phototherapy.
Abstract Gold nanostructures have generated significant attention in biomedical areas because of their major role in cancer photothermal therapeutics. In order to conveniently combine gold nanostructures and drugs into one nanocomposite, Au(2)Se/Au core-shell nanostructures with strong near-infrared-absorbing properties were synthesized using a simple method and embedded inside bovine serum albumin (BSA) nanospheres by using a spray dryer equipped with an ultrasonic atomizer followed by thermal denaturation. The nanospheres with narrow size distribution mainly ranging from 450 to 600 nm were obtained. The Au(2)Se/...

Magnetically confined hydrophobic nanoparticles for the microextraction of endocrine-disrupting phenols from environmental waters.
Abstract In this article, a solid-phase extraction approach, which takes advantage of the good extraction capabilities of hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), is presented. The new approach involves the deposition of a thin layer of MNPs in a dedicated stirring unit based on the dual function of a mini-magnet. The system allows the extraction of the analytes in a simple and efficient way. The approach, which reduces the negative effect of the aggregation tendency of hydrophobic MNPs, is characterized for the resolution of a model analytical problem: the determination of some endocrine-disrupting phenols in wa...

Design, Synthesis, in vitro MAO-B Inhibitory Evaluation, and Computational Studies of Some 6-Nitrobenzothiazole-Derived Semicarbazones.
Abstract Monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) is an important drug target for the treatment of neurological disorders. A series of 6-nitrobenzothiazole-derived semicarbazones were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as inhibitors of the rat brain MAO-B isoenzyme. Most of the compounds were found to be potent inhibitors of MAO-B, with IC(50) values in the nanomolar to micromolar range. Molecular docking studies were performed with AutoDock 4.2 to deduce the affinity and binding mode of these inhibitors toward the MAO-B active site. The free energies of binding (ΔG) and inhibition constants (K(i) ) of the docked compoun...

Peptide-Polymer Conjugates: From Fundamental Science to Application.
Abstract Peptide/protein-polymer conjugates make up a new class of soft matter comprising natural and synthetic building blocks. They have the potential to combine the advantages of proteins and synthetic polymers (i.e., the precise chemical structure and diverse functionalities of biomolecules and the stability and processability of synthetic polymers) to generate hybrid materials with properties yet to be realized with either component alone. Here we briefly discuss recent developments in the design, fundamental understanding, and self-assembly of various peptide-polymer conjugates, as well as emerging biological...

Molecular Switches and Motors on Surfaces.
Abstract Molecular switches and motors respond structurally, electronically, optically, and/or mechanically to external stimuli, testing and potentially enabling extreme miniaturization of optoelectronic devices, nanoelectromechanical systems, and medical devices. The assembly of motors and switches on surfaces makes it possible both to measure the properties of individual molecules as they relate to their environment and to couple function between assembled molecules. In this review, we discuss recent progress in assembling molecular switches and motors on surfaces, measuring static and dynamic structures, underst...

Chemical Aspects of the Extractive Methods of Ambient Ionization Mass Spectrometry.
Abstract Ambient ionization techniques allow complex chemical samples to be analyzed in their native state with minimal sample preparation. This brings the obvious advantages of simplicity, speed, and versatility to mass spectrometry: Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), for example, is used in chemical imaging for tumor margin diagnosis. This review on the extractive methods of ambient ionization focuses on chemical aspects, mechanistic considerations, and the accelerated chemical reactions occurring in charged liquid droplets generated in the spray process. DESI uses high-velocity solvent droplets to extrac...

Locus-Specific DNA Methylation Reprogramming During Early Porcine Embryogenesis.
Abstract During early mammalian embryogenesis, there is a wave of DNA demethylation post fertilization and de novo methylation around implantation. The paternal genome undergoes active DNA demethylation whereas the maternal genome is passively demethylated after fertilization in most mammals except sheep and rabbits. However, the emerging genome-wide DNA methylation landscape has revealed a regulatory and locus-specific DNA methylation reprogramming pattern in mammalian preimplantation embryos. Here we optimized a bisulfite sequencing protocol to draw base-resolution DNA methylation profiles of several selected gen...

De Novo Design of a Tumor-Penetrating Peptide
Poor penetration of antitumor drugs into the extravascular tumor tissue is often a major factor limiting the efficacy of cancer treatments. Our group has recently described a strategy to enhance tumor penetration of chemotherapeutic drugs through use of iRGD peptide (CRGDK/RGPDC). This peptide comprises two sequence motifs: RGD, which binds to αvβ3/5 integrins on tumor endothelia and tumor cells, and a cryptic CendR motif (R/KXXR/K-OH). Once integrin binding has brought iRGD to the tumor, the peptide is proteolytically cleaved to expose the cryptic CendR motif. The truncated peptide loses affinity for its primary recepto...

PORCN Inhibition Blocks Cancer Growth
In this study, we evaluated the PORCN inhibitor Wnt-C59 (C59), to determine its activity and toxicity in cultured cells and mice. C59 inhibits PORCN activity in vitro at nanomolar concentrations, as assessed by inhibition of Wnt palmitoylation, Wnt interaction with the carrier protein Wntless/WLS, Wnt secretion, and Wnt activation of β-catenin reporter activity. In mice, C59 displayed good bioavailability, as once daily oral administration was sufficient to maintain blood concentrations well above the IC50. C59 blocked progression of mammary tumors in MMTV-WNT1 transgenic mice while downregulating Wnt/β-catenin target ge...

Ultrahard nanotwinned cubic boron nitride
n, Julong He & Zhongyuan Liu Cubic boron nitride (cBN) is a well known superhard material that has a wide range of industrial applications. Nanostructuring of cBN is an effective way to improve its hardness by virtue of the Hall–Petch effect—the tendency for hardness to increase with decreasing grain size. Polycrystalline cBN materials are often synthesized by using the martensitic transformation of a graphite-like BN precursor, in which high pressures and temperatures lead to puckering of the BN layers. Such approaches have led to synthetic polycrystalline cBN having grain sizes as small as ∼14&...
