Single-Electron Redox Chemistry on the [Cp*Rh] Platform Enabled by a Nitrated Bipyridyl Ligand
(MDPI, 2018-11-02)[Cp*Rh] complexes (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) are attracting renewed interest in coordination chemistry and catalysis, but these useful compounds often undergo net two-electron redox cycling that precludes observation ... -
Sub-Toxic Human Amylin Fragment Concentrations Promote the Survival and Proliferation of SH-SY5Y Cells via the Release of VEGF and HspB5 from Endothelial RBE4 Cells
(MDPI, 2018-11-20)Human amylin is a 37-residue peptide hormone (hA1-37) secreted by β-cells of the pancreas and, along with insulin, is directly associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Amyloid deposits within the islets of the ... -
Impact of Tryptophan Oxidation in Complementarity-Determining Regions of Two Monoclonal Antibodies on Structure-Function Characterized by Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Mass Spectrometry and Surface Plasmon Resonance
(Springer, 2018-12-10)Purpose Tryptophan’s (Trp) unique hydrophobic and structural properties make it an important antigen binding motif when positioned in complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Oxidation ... -
A Collection of Single-Domain Antibodies that Crowd Ricin Toxin’s Active Site
(MDPI, 2018-12-17)In this report, we used hydrogen exchange-mass spectrometry (HX-MS) to identify the epitopes recognized by 21 single-domain camelid antibodies (VHHs) directed against the ribosome-inactivating subunit (RTA) of ricin toxin, ... -
Carnosine Prevents Aβ-Induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation in Microglial Cells: A Key Role of TGF-β1
(MDPI, 2019-01-17)Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine), a dipeptide, is an endogenous antioxidant widely distributed in excitable tissues like muscles and the brain. Carnosine is involved in cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress, ... -
Stabilization of the V2 loop improves the presentation of V2 loop–associated broadly neutralizing antibody epitopes on HIV-1 envelope trimers
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2019-02-06)A successful HIV-1 vaccine will likely need to elicit broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) that target the envelope glycoprotein (Env) spike on the virus. Native-like recombinant Env trimers of the SOSIP design now serve ... -
Multiplexed immunophenotyping of circulating exosomes on nano-engineered ExoProfile chip towards early diagnosis of cancer
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-04-22)Circulating exosomes have been studied as a promising biomarker for non-invasive cancer diagnosis, as they are implicated in tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis. However, the clinical significance of circulating ... -
Microfluidics as a Novel Tool for Biological and Toxicological Assays in Drug Discovery Processes: Focus on Microchip Electrophoresis
(MDPI, 2020-06-15)The last decades of biological, toxicological, and pharmacological research have deeply changed the way researchers select the most appropriate ‘pre-clinical model’. The absence of relevant animal models for many human ... -
4,5-Diazafluorene and 9,9’-Dimethyl-4,5-Diazafluorene as Ligands Supporting Redox-Active Mn and Ru Complexes
(MDPI, 2020-07-13)4,5-diazafluorene (daf) and 9,9’-dimethyl-4,5-diazafluorene (Me2daf) are structurally similar to the important ligand 2,2’-bipyridine (bpy), but significantly less is known about the redox and spectroscopic properties of ... -
Multivalent antigen arrays exhibit high avidity binding and modulation of B cell receptor-mediated signaling to drive efficacy against experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(American Chemical Society, 2017-05-05)A pressing need exists for antigen-specific immunotherapies (ASIT) that induce selective tolerance in autoimmune disease while avoiding deleterious global immunosuppression. Multivalent soluble antigen arrays (SAgAPLP:LABL), ... -
Acute B-Cell Inhibition by Soluble Antigen Arrays Is Valency-Dependent and Predicts Immunomodulation in Splenocytes
(American Chemical Society, 2019-04-17)Antigen valency plays a fundamental role in directing the nature of an immune response to be stimulatory or tolerogenic. Soluble Antigen Arrays (SAgAs) are an antigen-specific immunotherapy that combats autoimmunity through ... -
Ultrafast Spectroscopy of [Mn(CO)3] Complexes: Tuning the Kinetics of Light-Driven CO Release and Solvent Binding
(American Chemical Society, 2020-01-28)Manganese tricarbonyl complexes are promising catalysts for CO2 reduction, but complexes in this family are often photo-sensitive and decompose rapidly upon exposure to visible light. In this report, synthetic and photochemical ... -
Soluble Antigen Arrays for Selective Desensitization of Insulin-Reactive B Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2019-01-25)Autoimmune diseases are believed to be highly dependent on loss of immune tolerance to self-antigens. Currently, no treatments have been successful clinically in inducing autoantigen-specific tolerance, including efforts ... -

Soluble Antigen Arrays Displaying Mimotopes Direct the Response of Diabetogenic T Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2019-06-17)Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disorder which develops when insulin-producing, pancreatic beta cells are destroyed by an aberrant immune response. Current therapies for T1D either treat symptoms or cause global ... -
Preparation, Characterization, and Electrochemical Activation of a Model [Cp*Rh] Hydride
(American Chemical Society, 2018-09-26)Monomeric half-sandwich rhodium hydride complexes are often proposed as intermediates in catalytic cycles, but relatively few such compounds have been isolated and studied, limiting understanding of their properties. Here, ... -
3D cell culture stimulates the secretion of in vivo like extracellular vesicles
(Nature Research, 2019-09-10)For studying cellular communications ex-vivo, a two-dimensional (2D) cell culture model is currently used as the “gold standard”. 2D culture models are also widely used in the study of RNA expression profiles from tumor ... -
