Filamentous phages as tumour-targeting immunotherapeutic bionanofibres. nature.com/articles/s4156…

My Nature Nano paper is out. Fd phage is engineered to display tumor-homing peptides at tip and PD-L1-binding peptides on sidewall. The phage goes to tumor and inhibits PDL1/PD1 recognition, triggering PDL1 immunotherapy. #Phage #Cancer #Immunotherapy nature.com/articles/s4156…

Piezoelectric semiconducting heterojunctions are used as bacteria-killing bone-regenerative implants. Cells apply forces to the implants to generate electrical signals that promote bone regeneration. Lighting them triggers PDT/PTT to kill bacteria. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

The CUHK Adv Mater special issue I guest-edited is out: advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/15214095/2… It covers nanomed, tissue eng, regenerative med, biosensing, soft robotics, smart devices, nanofab, energy saving/storage, catalysis, spintronics, soft electronics, and neuromorphic computing.

The inside front cover showcases phages flying over the CUHK campus, with a head-tail-structured phage suspended from a filamentous #phage. advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/15214095/2…

As a guest editor, I wrote an editorial for the CUHK Adv Mater Special Issue, titled "Advanced Materials Research at CUHK: From Biomedicine to Electronics and Beyond." advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ad…

Sneaking a break from daily life to enjoy a cup of #bubbletea is a good way to recharge.🧋 You can find bubble tea at various spots on CUHK campus. Have you tried them all? 😋 #thechineseuniversityofhongkong #CUHK #CUHKDelicacy #Rest #Recharge

What limits a cell's size? One factor (and I'll explore others in an upcoming essay) is its surface area-to-volume ratio. A semi-spherical cell's internal volume grows proportionally to the cube of its radius, and its surface area grows proportionally to the square of that

Richard Henshaw (Tufts University) etal published a paper on chemotaxis of marine bacteria to virus-infected cyanobacteria, showing metabolites released during #phage infection attract heterotrophic bacteria, influencing carbon cycling in marine ecosystems buff.ly/Ds1ieVU

Our target-amplification-free collateral-cleavage-enhancing CRISPR-CasΦ method (TCC), with DOL of 0.11 copies/μL, shows enhanced sensitivity compared to qPCR. It detects pathogenic bacteria as low as 1.2 CFU/mL in serum in 40 min. #CRISPR #superbug nature.com/articles/s4146…

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.

Just a few months ago, the Baker and Garcia labs released con-concurrent preprints with incredible results. They designed de novo miniproteins that bound specific peptides presented in MHC-I. Now let me show how you can use BindCraft at Ariax Bio to do the same thing.
