Hierarchical polymer films with structurally regulated functionalities are achieved by integrating 2D and 3D structures to enable ultralow nonspecific protein binding and high loading of molecular recognition elements, such as antibodies.

Pluripotent Stem Cells (PSCs) exhibit extraordinary differentiation potential and are thus highly valuable cellular model systems. However, while different PSC types corresponding to distinct stages of embryogenesis have been in common use, aspects of their cellular architecture and mechanobiology remain insufficiently understood. Here we investigated how the actin cytoskeleton is regulated in different pluripotency states.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is characterized by the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles and β-amyloid plaques, leading to a decline in cognitive function. AD is characterized by tau protein hyperphosphorylation and extracellular β-amyloid accumulation. Even after much research, there are still no proven cures for AD.

The methylation- demethylation dynamics of RNA plays major roles in different biological functions, including stress responses, in plants. mA methylation in RNA is orchestrated by a coordinated function of methyl transferases (writers) and demethylases (Erasers). Genome-wide analysis of genes involved in methylation and demethylation was performed in pigeon pea.

Fibroblasts, non-hematopoietic cells of mesenchymal origin, are tissue architects which regulate the topography of tissues, dictate tissue resident cell types, and drive fibrotic disease. Fibroblasts regulate the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM), a 3-dimensional network of macromolecules that comprise the acellular milieu of tissues. Fibroblasts can directly and indirectly regulate immune responses by secreting ECM and ECM-bound molecules to shape tissue structure and influence organ function.

The Jared Grantham Kidney Institute at the University of Kansas Medical Center, Department of Nephrology and Hypertension, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, KS 66160, USA.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney (ADPKD) disease is the commonest genetic cause of kidney failure (affecting 1:800 individuals) and is due to heterozygous germline mutations in either of two genes, and . Homozygous germline mutations in are responsible for autosomal recessive polycystic kidney (ARPKD) disease a rare (1:20,000) but severe neonatal disease. The products of these three genes, (polycystin-1 (PC1 4302(3)aa)), (polycystin-2 (PC2 968aa)) and (fibrocystin (4074aa)) are all present on extracellular vesicles (EVs) termed, PKD-exosome-like vesicles (PKD-ELVs).
