Effects of husbandry and low-dose lipopolysaccharide challenge on the acute phase response of young pigs [PDF]
End of project reportIn recent years, concern has grown for the welfare of domesticated animals in different production systems (Appleby and Hughes, 1997). Poor welfare can result in poor performance and productivity.

Proteomic Analysis for the Diagnosis of Fibrinogen Aα-chain Amyloidosis
Introduction: Hereditary fibrinogen Aα-chain (AFib) amyloidosis is a relatively uncommon renal disease associated with a small number of pathogenic fibrinogen Aα (FibA) variants; wild-type FibA normally does not result in amyloid deposition.

Acute phase biomarkers of diseases in small ruminants: an overview [PDF]
Acute phase proteins (APPs) are a large group of proteins synthesised mainly by the liver. Their production is stimulated in response to disturbances in the systemic homeostasis. It is known that each species has a specific set of APPs.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Is the intrinsic disorder of proteins the cause of the scale-free architecture of protein-protein interaction networks? [PDF]
In protein-protein interaction networks certain topological properties appear to be recurrent: networks maps are considered scale-free. It is possible that this topology is reflected in the protein structure. In this paper we investigate the role of protein disorder in the network topology.

A comparison of the acute phase proteins in chronic aortic occlusion versus diffuse aortoiliac occlusive disease [PDF]
Background The purpose of the present study is to evaluate if there is a specific relationship of the acute-phase proteins between patients with the chronic aortic occlusion (COA) and patients with diffuse aortoiliac occlusive disease (AIOD), and to ...

The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LOX) catalyzes the first step in the biosynthesis of leukotrienes (LTs) involved in inflammatory pathophysiology. After cellular stimulation, 5‐LOX translocates to the nucleus, interacting with the 5‐LOX‐activating protein (FLAP) to form LTA4 from arachidonic acid (AA).

Refining the Protein-Protein Interactome using Gene Expression Data [PDF]
Proteins interact with other proteins within biological pathways, forming connected subgraphs in the protein-protein interactome (PPI). Proteins are often involved in multiple biological pathways which complicates interpretation of interactions between proteins.
