The Unexpected Importance of the Primary Structure of theHydrophobic Part of One-Component Ionizable Amphiphilic JanusDendrimers in Targeted mRNA Delivery Activity

Dapeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Viral and synthetic vectors have significantly impacted genetic nanomedicine, particularly in the rapid development of Covid-19 vaccines. Synthetic vectors have unlimited synthetic capability and exhibit active delivery effects. Studies targeting different organs have shown that by designing the hydrophobic region, IAJDs have increased the activity of gene delivery.

Zwitterionic Dendrimersomes: A Closer Xenobiotic Mimic of Cell Membranes

Anton Joseph et al.

Summary: In this study, a new type of Janus dendrimer is introduced, which can self-assemble into a mimetic cell membrane structure that closely resembles the characteristics of a natural cell membrane in terms of thickness, flexibility, and fluidity. This mimetic cell membrane exhibits resilience to harsh conditions and faster dynamics in closing pores in the event of membrane rupture. It can be used to create hybrid structures with components of natural cell membranes and has the potential to simulate life-like features such as vesicle fusion, motility, and environmental sensing.

Targeted Delivery of mRNA with One-Component Ionizable Amphiphilic Janus Dendrimers

Dapeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Efficient delivery of nucleic acids is crucial in genetic nanomedicine, and lipid nanoparticles as well as Janus dendrimers have shown great success in delivering mRNA for Covid-19 vaccines. By modifying the structure, targeted delivery of mRNA using Janus dendrimers can be switched from lung to liver and spleen, expanding the utility of dendrimersome nanoparticles from therapeutics to vaccines.

Probing the Role of Chirality in Phospholipid Membranes

Hannah S. Martin et al.

Summary: Nucleotides, amino acids, sugars, and lipids are predominantly homochiral within individual cells on Earth. While oligonucleotides and proteins exhibit a single natural chirality, two stereoisomers of phospholipids have emerged in archaea and bacteria, leading to an evolutionary divergence known as the lipid divide. Research focuses on the emergence of phospholipid homochirality and compares the stability of synthetic homochiral and heterochiral membranes in vitro.

Helical Chirality of Supramolecular Columns and Spheres Self-Organizes Complex Liquid Crystals, Crystals, and Quasicrystals

Virgil Percec et al.

Summary: This article briefly introduces the historical development of chiral helical self-organizations in biology and supramolecular chemistry, covering various structures formed by homochiral covalent and supramolecular macromolecules self-organizing, as well as the design of new functions based on synthetic helical assemblies. Personal events from the lives of scientists contributing to these developments are also briefly mentioned.

One-Component Multifunctional Sequence-Defined Ionizable Amphiphilic Janus Dendrimer Delivery Systems for mRNA

Dapeng Zhang et al.

Summary: Efficient delivery of nucleic acids is crucial for genetic nanomedicine. While viral vectors are highly efficient, they can also cause severe immune responses, toxicity, and mutations. Nonviral lipid nanoparticles containing specific components show promise for mRNA delivery, but challenges such as stability at low temperatures need to be addressed.

Synthesis of lipid membranes for artificial cells

Kira A. Podolsky et al.

Summary: Synthetic biology aims to understand the transition from non-living matter to life by reconstructing cellular subsystems and using synthetic strategies to drive membrane formation and function. Lipid membranes, as cell boundaries, play a crucial role in protecting cells and maintaining homeostasis with other subsystems. Chemical approaches are crucial in recreating interactions between lipid membranes, external environment, and internal biomolecules to elucidate life at the interface of chemistry and biology.
