  • Patent number: 11771651
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel synthetic polypeptides and uses thereof in the preparation of liposomes. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the synthetic polypeptide comprises a membrane lytic motif, a masking motif, and a linker configured to link the membrane lytic motif and the masking motif. The linker is cleavable by a stimulus, such as, light, protease, or phosphatase. Once being coupled to a liposome, the exposure to the stimulus cleaves the linker that results in the separation of the masking motif from the membrane lytic motif, which in turn exerts membrane lytic activity on the liposome that leads to the collapse of the intact structure of the liposome, and releases the agent encapsulated in the liposome to the target site. Also disclosed herein are methods of diagnosing or treating a disease in a subject by use of the present liposomes.

  • Publication number: 20230224963
    Abstract: Various techniques pertaining to a special dual clear-to-send (CTS) mode for improvement in collision avoidance in wireless communications are described. A first station (STA) transmits a request-to-send (RTS) and, in response, receives a first CTS from a second STA. The first STA waits to receive a second CTS from the second STA before transmitting data to the second STA responsive to the first CTS being of a first type and the second CTS being of a second type different from the first type. The first STA then transmits the data to the second STA upon passage of a waiting period.
