Proteinosomes are a type of protein-based spherical capsules, which have potential applications in drug delivery, cell imaging, gene expression, and biocatalysis. In this research, novel approach to the fabrication proteinosomes entirely composed protein molecules based on self-assembly supramolecular protein-polymer conjugate is proposed. A was prepared by mixing βCD-modified bovine serum albumin (BSA) adamantane-terminated poly(N-isopropylamide) (Ad-PNIPAM) aqueous solution. The BSA-PNIPAM...
Natural products are a major source for cancer drug development. NK cells critical component of innate immunity with the capacity to destroy cells, cancer-initiating and clear viral infections. However, few reports describe natural product that stimulates cell IFN-γ production unravel mechanism action. In this study, through screening, we found product, phyllanthusmin C (PL-C), alone enhanced by human cells. PL-C also synergized IL-12, even at low cytokine concentration 0.1 ng/ml, stimulated...
Combinations of synthetic polymers and natural proteins provide a route to the synthesis new biomaterials. The bioconjugates combining tunable properties with functionalities have found broad applications. One most challenging problems in this research field is self-assembly behaviors responsive polymer–protein bioconjugates. In research, composed zwitterionic block copolymer streptavidin were investigated. Block copolymers poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)...
Three series of new anthranilic diamide derivatives containing sulfide, N-cyanomethylsulfilimine, and N-cyanomethylsulfoximine groups were designed synthesized by coupling the active substructures diamides sulfoxaflor. The structures compounds confirmed infrared spectroscopy, 1H 13C NMR, elemental analysis. Several unique structural characteristics revealed via crystal structure analysis compound...
Methotrexate (MTX) is broadly applied in the clinic for treatment of cancers and autoimmune diseases. Targeted delivery MTX attractive to improve its efficacy reduce off-target toxicity. However, encapsulation nanoparticle challenging due high water solubility. We rationally designed a well-defined telodendrimer (TD) nanocarrier based on structure sequester it nanoparticles. Riboflavin (Rf) positive charge groups were precisely conjugated TD form multivalent hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking,...

In these years, synthesis and self-assembly of nanoparticles with various sizes, geometries compositions have aroused great interest due to their scientific significance potential applications. The asymmetric structures are able self-assemble into hierarchical for constructing functional materials. To investigate the behaviors nano-sized polymer particles, twin single-chain (TSCNPs), a type covalently bonded SCNPs, reported in this research. A block copolymer pendant anthracene groups...
A facile and versatile method for the synthesis of Janus graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets with different structures is reported. Based on electrostatic assembly, GO can be easily functionalized a template polymer or defunctionalized by altering ionic strength. By using this approach, are prepared successfully hydrophobic polystyrene chains one side hydrophilic poly(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) other side. image

It is critical to regulate the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) due its effect on promoting malignant phenotypes and limiting efficiency of cancer therapy. In this study, we demonstrated that marchantin M (Mar-M, a naturally occurring bisbibenzyl) suppressed pro-inflammatory SASP components which were elevated in chemotherapy-resistant cells. Mar-M treatment attenuated pro-tumorigenic effects enhanced survival drug-resistant mouse models. No toxicity was detected normal...
Natural products and their derivatives have long been used as pharmacological agents in the fight against cancer. Human natural killer (NK) cells are critical our immune system that they capable of destroying tumor directly. However, there few reports elucidate role activating NK cells.
