Detection of specific mRNA in living cells has attracted significant attention the past decade. Probes that can be easily delivered into and activated at desired time contribute to understanding translation, trafficking degradation mRNA. Here we report a new strategy termed magnetic field-activated binary deoxyribozyme (MaBiDZ) sensor enables both efficient delivery temporal control sensing by field. MaBiDZ uses two species beads conjugated with different components multicomponent (DZ)...

Biocatalytic reactions operating in parallel and resulting reduction of NAD(+) or oxidation NADH were used to mimic 3-input majority minority logic gates, respectively. The substrates corresponding the enzyme as input signals. When signals applied at their high concentrations, defined 1 values, biocatalytic activated, changes concentration output signal. dependent on number activated by absence substrates, meaning 0 kept mute with no concentration. In system mimicking function,...
A method for the generation of remotely reconfigurable anisotropic coatings is developed. To form these coatings, locking magnetic nanoparticles (LMNPs) made a superparamagnetic core and two‐component polymer shell are employed. Two different polymers phase‐separated coaxial shells. The outer provides repulsive interactions between LMNPs while inner exerts attractive forces particles. Applying non‐uniform field, one gathers particles together, pushing them to come in contact when internal...
Abstract An array of four independently wired indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes was used for electrochemically stimulated DNA release and activation DNA‐based Identity, AND XOR logic gates. Single‐stranded molecules were loaded on the mixed poly( N , ‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA)/poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) brush covalently attached to ITO electrodes. The deposition performed at pH 5.0 when polymer is positively charged due protonation tertiary amino groups in PDMAEMA, thus...

Valvular heart diseases are associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, often require surgical and/or percutaneous repair or replacement. Valve replacement is limited to mechanical biological prostheses, the latter of which circumvent need for lifelong anticoagulation but subject structural valve degeneration (SVD) failure. Although calcification heavily studied, noncalcific SVD, represent roughly 30% BHV failures, relatively underinvestigated. This original work...

The reactions proceeded through bulk solution diffusion intermediate substrates substrate channeling, when systems dispersed respectively. both pathways have shown very similar kinetics, unless was...
Significance Heart valve disease affects millions, and since there is no effective medical therapy, surgical repair when possible—or more commonly, replacement—are the only treatments available. Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV), most frequently used replacements, are composed of heterograft tissue, typically fixed in glutaraldehyde, prepared for human use either as surgically implantable devices or transcatheter delivery. Protein-glycation limits durability BHV, contributing to device...
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) fabricated from heterograft tissue, such as glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium (BP), are the most frequently used valve replacements. BHV durability is limited by structural degeneration (SVD), mechanistically associated with calcification, advanced glycation end products (AGE), and serum protein infiltration. We investigated hypothesis that anti-AGE agents, Aminoguanidine, Pyridoxamine [PYR], N-Acetylcysteine could mitigate AGE-serum SVD mechanisms...

In contrast to natural cellulosomes, EPC is in random process conjugation different cellulases from their mixture solution. The catalytic activity EPCs systematically studied using...

Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV), made from glutaraldehyde-fixed xenografts, are widely used for surgical and transcatheter valve interventions but suffer limited durability due to structural degeneration (SVD). We focused on metabolic syndrome (MetS), a risk factor SVD highly prevalent phenotype in patients affected by valvular disease with well-recognized cluster of comorbidities. Multicenter patient data (N = 251) revealed that MetS were at significantly higher accelerated required BHV...

Abstract Background Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) are widely used to treat valve disease but fundamentally limited by structural degeneration (SVD). Non-calcific mechanisms of SVD entirely account for approximately 30% cases and contribute calcific remain understudied. Glycation have not been previously associated with SVD, despite being established as degenerative in collagenous native tissues. Objectives To determine whether blood component infiltration-based glycation concomitant human...

Introduction: Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) fabricated from glutaraldehyde treated bovine pericardium (BP) are widely used to treat valve disease. BHV dysfunction structural degeneration (SVD) develops over time, often necessitating device replacement. SVD is associated with both calcification and the accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) serum proteins within leaflets. Here, we introduce a new strategy for mitigating AGE-associated by modifying BP...
