Heat shock protein A1A (HSPA1A) is a molecular chaperone crucial in cell survival. In addition to its cytosolic functions, HSPA1A translocates to heat-shocked and cancer cells' plasma membrane (PM). In cancer, PM-localized HSPA1A (mHSPA1A) is associated with increased tumor aggressiveness and therapeutic resistance, suggesting that preventing its membrane localization could have therapeutic value.

Chiral alcohols are not only important building blocks of various bioactive natural compounds and pharmaceuticals, but can serve as synthetic precursors for other valuable organic chemicals, thus the synthesis of these products is of great importance. Bio-catalysis represents one effective way to obtain these molecules, however, the weak stability and high cost of enzymes often hinder its broad application. In this work, we designed a biological nanoreactor by embedding alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) in metal-organic-framework ZIF-8.

Unlabelled: Ebola virus (EBOV) infection is threatening human health, especially in Central and West Africa. Limited clinical trials and the requirement of biosafety level-4 laboratories hinder experimental work to advance our understanding of EBOV and the evaluation of treatment. In this work, we use a computational model to study the assembly and budding process of EBOV and evaluate the effect of fendiline on these processes in the context of fluctuating host membrane lipid levels.

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a useful biomarker for identifying ovulation events in the cows to predict the time of ovulation to achieve a high success rate of conception following artificial insemination. Although antibody-based radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are being used for LH measurement, these techniques are expensive, time-consuming, and require expertise and sophisticated laboratory facilities. So, there is a need for a field-applicable, affordable, easy-to-use method for LH detection.
