Scaffold-mediated sustained, non-viral delivery of miR-219/miR-338 promotes CNS remyelination by Milbreta, Ulla, Lin, Junquan, Pinese, Coline, Ong, William, Chin, Jiah Shin, Shirahama, Hitomi, Mi, Ruifa, Williams, Anna, Bechler, Marie E., Wang, Jun, ffrench-Constant, Charles, Hoke, Ahmet, Chew, Sing Yian

“…Using spinal cord injury as a proof-of-concept, we further demonstrate that miR-219/miR-338 could also be delivered non-virally in vivo using an aligned fiber-hydrogel scaffold to enhance remyelination after a hemi-incision injury at C5 level of Sprague-Dawley rats. Specifically, miR-219/miR-338 mimics were incorporated as complexes with the carrier, TransIT-TKO (TKO), together with neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) within hybrid scaffolds that comprised poly(caprolactone-co-ethyl ethylene phosphate) (PCLEEP)-aligned fibers and collagen hydrogel. …”

Molecular interaction of tumor suppressor protein p53 and anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL. by Yoon, Ho Sup.

“…Second, to define the binding interface of the molecular interaction, which is not previously characterized, we employed a NMR-based binding study, showing that the binding site on Bel-XL is located in the region including a4, the N- and C-termini of a3, the N-terminus of a5, and the central part of a2. To further probe this observation, we then performed fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay in cells. …”
