Controlled Release Systems for Treating Type 2 Diabetes and Their Application Toward Multi-Agonist Combination Therapies
(2019)Over 30 million people in the United States suffer from type 2 diabetes (T2D), and this figure is rapidly increasing. Currently available glucose-lowering drugs largely treat the symptoms of diabetes and not the underlying ... -
Peptide-Based Stimuli-Responsive Materials for Bioanalytical Applications
(2017)Surfaces with switchable properties in response to external stimuli (e.g., temperature and pH) have attracted substantial research interest because of their ability to modulate biomolecule activity, protein immobilization, ... -
Programmable Assembly of Elastin-like Polypeptides Within Droplet Microenvironments
(2017)Disordered proteins lack a defined secondary and higher order structure, possess a large number of biological functions, and are prevalent throughout nature. One important property of certain disordered proteins in biology ... -
Understanding Elastin-Like Polypeptide Block Copolymer Self-assembly Behavior
(2013)Elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) are thermally responsive polymers composed of the pentapeptide repeat Valine-Proline-Glycine-X-Glycine where X is any amino acid except proline. ELP diblocks have been engineered by creating ...
