The biochemical and biophysical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) play a pivotal
role in regulating cellular behaviors such as proliferation, migration, and differentiation …

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) exhibit molecular-level conformational dynamics that
are functionally harnessed across a wide range of fascinating biological phenomena. The …

Misfolding and aggregation of specific proteins are associated with liquid-liquid phase
separation (LLPS), and these protein aggregates can interfere with normal cellular functions …

Hydrogels are three-dimensional structures that serve as substitutes for the extracellular
matrix (ECM) and possess outstanding physicochemical and biochemical characteristics …

Peptide-based materials are diverse candidates for self-assembly into modularly designed
and stimuli-responsive nanostructures with precisely tunable compositions. Here, we …

Structural proteins like silk, squid ring teeth, elastin, collagen, or resilin, among others, are
inspiring the development of new sustainable biopolymeric materials for applications …

In this study, we constructed and activated honeycomb structures on perfluorinated
substrates subjected to KrF laser treatment (wavelength 248 nm). We selected the …

The unique biophysical and biochemical properties of intrinsically disordered proteins
(IDPs) and their recombinant derivatives, intrinsically disordered protein polymers (IDPPs) …

The self-assembly of intrinsically disordered proteins into biomolecular condensates shows
a dependence on the primary sequence of the protein, leading to sequence-dependent …

Protein self-assembly, guided by the interplay of sequence-and environment-dependent
liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), constitutes a fundamental process in the assembly of …
