Conducting polymer nanoparticles decorated with collagen mimetic peptides for collagen targeting.

چکیده
We report on the formation of conducting polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), stabilized by a collagen mimetic peptide (CMP)-polymer amphiphile. CPNs ranging from ∼15 to 40 nm were readily accessible upon modifying the amphiphile concentration. Surface presentation of CMPs on CPN precluded intra-/inter-particle trimerization, while preserving their ability to target collagen without pre-activation.

Collagen mimetic peptide engineered M13 bacteriophage for collagen targeting and imaging in cancer.
Collagens are over-expressed in various human cancers and subsequently degraded and denatured by proteolytic enzymes, thus making them a target for diagnostics and therapeutics. Genetically engineered bacteriophage (phage) is a promising candidate for the development of imaging or therapeutic materials for cancer collagen targeting due to its promising structural features. We genetically engine...
متن کاملSeeding approach to noble metal decorated conducting polymer nanofiber network.
Metal displacement reactions between conducting polymers-"synthetic metals"-and noble metals (Pt, Au and Ag) have been demonstrated using a seeding polymerization technique, to produce a synthetic metal nanofiber network decorated with noble metal nanoparticles, in one-step.
متن کاملSelf-Assembled Collagen-like Peptide Fibers as Templates for Metallic Nanowires.
Inspired by nature's ability to fabricate supramolecular nanostructures from the bottom-up, materials scientist have become increasingly interested in the use of biomolecules like DNA, peptides, or proteins as templates for the creation of novel nanostructures and nanomaterials. Although the advantages of self-assembling biomolecular structures clearly lie in their chemical diversity, spatial c...
متن کاملFacile modification of collagen directed by collagen mimetic peptides.
Recent widespread interest in the development of engineered tissue and organ replacement therapies has prompted demand for new approaches to immobilize exogenous components to natural collagen. Chemical coupling of synthetic moieties to amino acid side chains has been commonly practiced for such purposes; however, such coupling reactions are difficult to control on large proteins and are genera...
متن کاملMorphogenetically-Active Barrier Membrane for Guided Bone Regeneration, Based on Amorphous Polyphosphate
We describe a novel regeneratively-active barrier membrane which consists of a durable electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) net covered with a morphogenetically-active biohybrid material composed of collagen and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP). The patch-like fibrous collagen structures are decorated with small amorphous polyP nanoparticles (50 nm) formed by precipitation of this energy-rich ...
