Peptides that comprise the functional subunits of proteins have been conjugated to versatile
materials (biomolecules, polymers, surfaces and nanoparticles) in an effort to modulate cell …

Computation was used to design a trans-cyclooctene derivative that displays enhanced
reactivity in the tetrazine–trans-cycloctene ligation. The optimized derivative is an (E)-bicyclo …

Nanothickness encapsulation using a layer-by-layer technique has applications in several
areas of diabetes research, including improved glucose sensors, islet cell transplantation …

Layer-by-layer assembly of polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films represents a bottom-up
approach for re-engineering the molecular landscape of cell surfaces with spatially …

The toxicity of semiconductor materials can significantly hinder their use for in vitro and in
vivo applications. Gallium nitride (GaN) is a material with remarkable properties, including …

Determination of the binding specificity of glycan‐binding proteins (GBPs), such as lectins,
antibodies, and receptors, has traditionally been difficult and laborious. The advent of glycan …

Clickable nanogel solutions were synthesized by using the copper catalyzed azide/alkyne
cycloaddition (CuAAC) to partially polymerize solutions of azide and alkyne functionalized …

All artificial organ systems and medical devices that operate in direct contact with blood elicit
activation of coagulation and platelets with long-term use,[1, 2] leading to formation of …

Bio-orthogonal ligations that crosslink living cells with a substrate or other cells require high
stability and rapid kinetics to maintain the nature of target cells. In this study, we report water …

Development of antimicrobial peptide (AMP)-functionalized materials has renewed interest
in using poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-mediated linking to minimize unwanted interactions …
