Since the first description in 1989 of CD4‐Fc‐fusion antagonists that inhibit human immune
deficiency virus entry into T cells, Fc‐fusion proteins have been intensely investigated for …

Biological atomic force microscopy (AFM) has become a rapidly developing interdisciplinary
field of research in recent years. Not only has the technique, including instrumentation and …

Perfringolysin O (PFO) is a prototype of the large family of pore‐forming cholesterol‐dependent
cytolysins (CDCs). A central enigma of the cytolytic mechanism of the CDCs is that their …

The textbook planar model of pentameric IgM, a potent activator of complement C1q, is based
upon the crystallographic structure of IgG. Although widely accepted, key predictions of …

Pathogenic strains of Helicobacter pylori secrete a cytotoxin, VacA, that in the presence of
weak bases, causes osmotic swelling of acidic intracellular compartments enriched in markers …

Femtosecond thermoreflectance data for thin films and bulk quantities of Au, Cr, and Al are
compared with the parabolic two-step thermal diffusion model for the purpose of determining …

A long-standing aim in molecular self-assembly is the development of synthetic nanopores
capable of mimicking the mass-transport characteristics of biological channels and pores. …

Using a cationic lipid bilayer, we show that DNA can be reliably adsorbed to the bilayer surface
for atomic force microscopy (AFM) in aqueous buffers at high resolution. The measured …

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented unprecedented
challenges to global health. Although the majority of COVID-19 patients exhibit mild-to-no …

Topologically associating domains (TADs) are fundamental elements of the eukaryotic
genomic structure. However, recent studies suggest that the insulating complexes, CTCF/cohesin, …
