Plant growth under abiotic stress conditions significantly enhances intracellular generation
of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Oxidative status of plant cells is directly affected by the …

Conspectus Despite its essentiality to life, iron presents significant challenges to cells: the
exceedingly low solubility of Fe3+ limits its bioavailability, and the reactivity of Fe2+ toward …

Strategies that attempt to mimic the well-defined structures or unique functions of natural
biological materials have succeeded in designing and synthesizing bio-inspired materials in …

Protein scaffolds provide unique metal coordination environments that promote
biomineralization processes. It is expected that protein scaffolds can be developed to …

Protein-based nanocompartments found in nature have inspired the development of
functional nanomaterials for a range of applications including delivery of catalytic activities …

Ferritins, the cellular iron repositories, are self-assembled, hollow spherical nanocage
proteins composed of 24 subunits. The self-assembly process in ferritin generates the …

Living organisms in nature have undergone continuous evolution over billions of years,
resulting in the formation of high-performance fracture-resistant biomineralized tissues such …

Here, we propose for the first time the evaluation of magnetosensitive clMagR/clCry4 as a
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reporter gene that imparts sensitivity to endogenous …

Ferritins are highly conserved supramolecular protein nanostructures composed of two
different subunit types, H (heavy) and L (light). The two subunits co-assemble into a 24 …
