Engineering patterned ECM substrates of defined area
To create defined areas of ECM proteins, we used μCP to print arrays of circular collagen I patterns to which HeLa (Kyoto) cells can adhere via α1β1 and α2β1 integrins57 and circular…

Development of a time-resolved fluorescence-based lateral flow immunoassay for rapid and sensitive diagnosis of Middle East respiratory syndrome
Production of N protein antigen
The full-length N gene of MERS-CoV was synthesized and cloned into the pET28a vector harboring an N-terminal 6×His tag. Then, the N-terminal domain (NTD, 1-492 nucleotide) and C-terminal domain (CTD, 502–1239…

Efficacy and safety of IBI351 (fulzerasib) monotherapy in KRASG12C inhibitor-naïve Chinese patients with KRASG12C-mutated metastatic colorectal cancer: a pooled analysis from phase I part of two studies
KRAS was historically regarded as an “undruggable” target until the development of KRASG12C allele-specific inhibitors. The discovery of the switch II pocket within the KRAS protein has rapidly accelerated the development of KRASG12C…

Toxic effects of Helix aspersa snail egg hydrolyzates obtained by static in vitro digestion on Caco-2 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells
High cell content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) could result in oxidative stress, and antioxidants prevent their formation and inhibit their activity2. Certain antioxidants could have beneficial effects on colorectal cancer initiation and…
