A Guideline for the Synthesis of Amino-Acid-Functionalized Monomers and Their Polymerizations

Meike N. Leiske et al.

Summary: Amino acids are considered a sustainable source for the design of functional polymers due to their wide availability and high biocompatibility. Their reactive functional groups make them suitable for various polymerization approaches. This review focuses on strategies to incorporate amino acids into polymers, including the preparation of polymerizable monomers and postpolymerization modification approaches for polymer side chain functionalization. Amino acids are presented as a versatile platform for developing polymers with tailored properties.

Increased expression of glutamine transporter SNAT2/SLC38A2 promotes glutamine dependence and oxidative stress resistance, and is associated with worse prognosis in triple-negative breast cancer

Matteo Morotti et al.

Summary: The study identified SLC38A2 as a highly expressed amino acid transporter in breast cancer cell lines and showed that SLC38A2 knockdown inhibited cell growth in Gln-sensitive cell lines. High expression of SLC38A2 was associated with poor breast cancer specific survival, particularly in TNBC patients.

Internalization into cancer cells of zwitterionic amino acid polymers via amino acid transporter recognition

Shin Takano et al.

Summary: This study shows that zwitterionic amino acid polymers (ZAPs) can be internalized into cells through AAT-mediated endocytosis, and their lack of cytotoxicity is attributed to their zwitterionic amino acid nature.
