Artificially expanded genetic information systems (AEGIS) were developed to expand the diversity and functionality of biological systems. Recent experiments have shown that these expanded DNA molecular systems are robust platforms for information storage and retrieval as well as useful for basic biotechnologies. In tandem, nucleic acid nanotechnology has seen the use of information-based "semantomorphic" encoding to drive the self-assembly of a vast array of supramolecular devices.

Glycoamphiphiles have attracted considerable interest in a broad range of application fields owing to their solution and bulk-state self-assembly abilities. Despite their importance, the straightforward synthesis of glycoamphiphiles consisting of a hydrophilic carbohydrate linked to a hydrophobic aglycone remains one of the major challenges in glycosciences. Here, a rapid, simple, and efficient synthetic access to chemically stable glycoamphiphiles at physiological pH, namely, -(β-d-glycosyl)-2-alkylbenzamide, is reported.

Reactions that occur within the lipid membrane involve, at minimum, ternary complexes among the enzyme, substrate, and lipid. For many systems, the impact of the lipid in regulating activity or oligomerization state is poorly understood. Here, we used small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to structurally characterize an intramembrane aspartyl protease (IAP), a class of membrane-bound enzymes that use membrane-embedded aspartate residues to hydrolyze transmembrane segments of biologically relevant substrates.

Because of the high biocompatibility, self-assembly capability, and CD71-mediated endocytosis, using human heavy chain ferritin (HFn) as a nanocarrier would greatly increase therapeutic effectiveness and reduce possible adverse events. Anti-PD-L1 siRNA can downregulate the level of PD-L1 on tumor cells, resulting in the activation of effector T cells against leukemia. Therefore, this study aimed to produce the tumor-targeting siPD-L1/HFn nanocarrier.

Purpose: Enhancing the dissolution, permeation and absorption of active components with low solubility and poor permeability is crucial for maximizing therapeutic efficacy and optimizing functionality. The objective of this study is to investigate the potential of natural polysaccharides as carriers to improve the biopharmaceutical properties of active components.
Methods: In this study, we employed four representative flavonoids in Astragali Radix, namely Calycosinglucoside (CAG), Ononin (ON), Calycosin (CA) and Formononetin (FMN), as a demonstration to evaluate the potential of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) as carriers to improve the biopharmaceutical properties, sush as solubility, permeability, and absorption in vivo.
