Abstract The gut microbiota is important in the pathogenesis of energy-metabolism related diseases. We focused on interaction between intestinal bacteria and orally administered chemical drugs. Oral administration berberine (BBR) effectively treats patients with metabolic disorders. However, because BBR exhibits poor solubility, its absorption mechanism remains unknown. Here, we show that converts into absorbable form dihydroberberine (dhBBR), which has an rate 5-fold animals. reduction to...

Berberine (BBR) has been confirmed to have multiple bioactivities in clinic, such as cholesterol-lowering, anti-diabetes, cardiovascular protection and anti- inflammation. However, BBR’s plasma level is very low; it cannot explain its pharmacological effects patients. We consider that the vivo distribution of BBR well bioactive metabolites might provide part explanation for this question. In study, liquid chromatography coupled ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/MSn-IT-TOF) with...

Abstract The development of biomedical glues is an important, yet challenging task as seemingly mutually exclusive properties need to be combined in one material, i.e. strong adhesion and adaption remodeling processes healing tissue. Here, we report a biocompatible biodegradable protein-based adhesive with high strengths. maximum strength reaches 16.5 ± 2.2 MPa on hard substrates, which comparable that commercial cyanoacrylate superglue higher than other adhesives by at least order...

Adhesive hydrogels have been developed for wound healing applications. However, their adhesive performance is impaired dramatically due to high swelling on wet tissues. To tackle this challenge, we fabricated a new type of non-swelling protein underwater and in vivo In soft material, the electrostatic complexation between supercharged polypeptides with oppositely charged surfactants containing 3,4-dihydroxylphenylalanine or azobenzene moieties plays an important role formation ultra-strong...

Tuning interfacial electric fields provides a powerful means to control electrocatalyst activity. Importantly, can modify adsorbate binding energies based on their polarizability and dipole moment, hence operate independently of scaling relations that fundamentally limit performance. However, implementation such strategy remains challenging because typical methods the field non-uniformly affects only minority active sites. Here we discover uniformly tunable modulation be achieved using model...

Complex coacervation enables important wet adhesion processes in natural and artificial systems. However, existed synthetic coacervate adhesives show limited properties, non-thermoresponsiveness, inferior biodegradability, greatly hampering their translations. Herein, by harnessing supramolecular assembly rational protein design, we present a temperature-sensitive bioadhesive fabricated through recombinant surfactant. Mechanical performance of the bioglue system is actively tunable with...

Abstract As a typical inflammatory disease with chronic pain syndromes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) generally requires long‐term treatment frequent injection administration at 1–2 times per day, because common medications such as interleukin1 receptor antagonist (IL1ra) have poor bioavailability and very limited half‐life residence. Here novel strategy to fabricate nanotherapeutic formulations employing genetically engineered IL1ra protein complexes, yielding ultralong‐lasting bioefficacy is...
