Surface-specific film assembly of a Vibrio cholerae adhesin-derived peptide modulated by environmental salts

This study investigates how environmental salts modulate the aggregation and adhesion of a Vibrio cholerae peptide, revealing surface- and ion-dependent film formation mechanisms.

A Facile and Versatile Technique for Creating Antifibrotic Coatings on Biomedical Implants

This paper develops a versatile method for creating antifibrotic coatings on biomedical implants, showing a 60% reduction in fibrotic capsule thickness in mice.

Functionalization of Gold Surfaces with Dithiobis(succinimidyl propionate) for Immobilization of Fetuin-A and Assessment of the Attachment and Proliferation of Osteoblast-like Cells

This study immobilizes fetuin-A on gold surfaces using DSP and assesses its effect on osteoblast-like cell attachment and proliferation, finding reduced proliferation compared to fibronectin.

Identification and characterization of a wet adhesive protein extracted from Dreissena bugensis, the freshwater quagga mussel

This paper identifies and characterizes a DOPA-deficient wet adhesive protein from quagga mussels, showing it has similar adhesion properties to marine mussel proteins despite lacking DOPA.

The impact of crystallographic plane orientation as an unexplored terrain in hemocompatible material design

The paper investigates how crystallographic plane orientation affects endothelialization and platelet activation on alumina surfaces, finding the A-plane promotes endothelialization and suppresses platelet activation.

Surface-immobilized fibronectin conformation influences synovial fluid adsorption and film formation

This study investigates how fibronectin conformation affects synovial fluid adsorption and film formation on surfaces, showing that pH-induced conformational changes alter film properties and fluid retention.

All-Atom Modeling and Simulation of Biopolymer Interface: Dual Role of Antifouling Polymer Brushes

This study uses molecular modeling and simulation to analyze how different antifouling polymer brushes resist or modulate protein adsorption and structural dynamics.

Vibrio cholerae adhesin-derived peptide mediates strong pull-off forces in aqueous high ionic strength environments

This study measures pull-off forces of Bap1-inspired peptides on mica substrates in different solvents, showing strong forces for CP peptides in high ionic strength environments.
