Distribution of gold nanoparticles into the brain: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Z Behroozi, B Rahimi, K Kookli, MS Safari… - …, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
Despite the widespread use of gold nanoparticles (GNPs), there is no consensus on their
distribution to different tissues and organs. The present systematic review and meta-analysis …

Mesoscopic protein-rich clusters host the nucleation of mutant p53 amyloid fibrils

…, M Fathi, MB Sherman, MS Safari… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
The protein p53 is a crucial tumor suppressor, often called “the guardian of the genome”;
however, mutations transform p53 into a powerful cancer promoter. The oncogenic capacity of …

[PDF][PDF] Anomalous dense liquid condensates host the nucleation of tumor suppressor p53 fibrils

MS Safari, Z Wang, K Tailor, AB Kolomeisky… - Iscience, 2019 - cell.com
About half of human cancers are associated with mutations of the tumor suppressor p53.
Gained oncogenic functions of the mutants have been related to aggregation behaviors of wild-…

[HTML][HTML] Interaction of spindle assembly factor TPX2 with importins-α/β inhibits protein phase separation

MS Safari, MR King, CP Brangwynne, S Petry - Journal of Biological …, 2021 - ASBMB
The microtubule-based mitotic spindle is responsible for equally partitioning the genome
during each cell division, and its assembly is executed via several microtubule nucleation …

Differential dynamic microscopy of weakly scattering and polydisperse protein-rich clusters

MS Safari, MA Vorontsova, R Poling-Skutvik… - Physical Review E, 2015 - APS
Nanoparticle dynamics impact a wide range of biological transport processes and applications
in nanomedicine and natural resource engineering. Differential dynamic microscopy (…

Frustrated peptide chains at the fibril tip control the kinetics of growth of amyloid-β fibrils

…, KN Le, NP Schafer, MS Safari… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Amyloid fibrillization is an exceedingly complex process in which incoming peptide chains
bind to the fibril while concertedly folding. The coupling between folding and binding is not …

Mesoscopic solute-rich clusters in olanzapine solutions

M Warzecha, MS Safari, AJ Florence… - Crystal Growth & …, 2017 - ACS Publications
An organic molecule may crystallize in numerous distinct lattices, and the slow and
unpredictable transitions between multiple crystal forms are a significant concern in its …

Steady, symmetric, and reversible growth and dissolution of individual amyloid-β fibrils

Y Xu, MS Safari, W Ma, NP Schafer… - ACS Chemical …, 2019 - ACS Publications
Oligomers and fibrils of the amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide are implicated in the pathology of Alzheimer’s
disease. Here, we monitor the growth of individual Aβ40 fibrils by time-resolved in situ …

Protein conformational flexibility enables the formation of dense liquid clusters: tests using solution shear

MC Byington, MS Safari, JC Conrad… - The Journal of Physical …, 2016 - ACS Publications
According to recently proposed two-step nucleation mechanisms, crystal nuclei form within
preexisting dense liquid clusters. Clusters with radii about 100 nm, which capture from 10 –7 …
