Design and Evaluation of Nanoscale Materials with Programmed Responsivity towards Epigenetic Enzymes

This paper designs and evaluates nanomaterials that disassemble in response to HDAC enzymes, revealing a mechanism based on deacetylation-induced amphiphilicity reduction.

Bacterial hopanoids: a newly identified potent inducer of monocyte to macrophage differentiation

This study identifies bacterial hopanoids as a potent inducer of monocyte to macrophage differentiation through structural and functional analyses.

On the evolution of chaperones and co-chaperones and the expansion of proteomes across the Tree of Life

The paper analyzes proteome complexity across the Tree of Life, showing significant expansion in protein numbers, size, and fold diversity, accompanied by the evolution of chaperone systems to manage protein quality.

Determining the interaction status and evolutionary fate of duplicated homomeric proteins

The paper systematically analyzes duplicated homomeric proteins in yeast and bacteria to determine their interaction status and evolutionary fate, finding significant differences between species.
