Biosensing strategies for determination of adenosine-5′-triphosphate

Biosensors and Bioelectronics: X
Adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) is a fundamental biomolecule that supplies the energy required for virtually all biochemical reactions in living organisms and thus underpins the continuity of life.

Radiotherapy Enhances the Oncolytic Efficacy of the Novel Oncolytic Herpesvirus VG161 and Amplifies Its Antitumor Immunity in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RT promotes VG161 replication in BC and its immunostimulatory transgenes expression, which is mediated by the upregulation of GADD34 and HVEM caused by RT. The combination therapy with VG161 and RT increases the abundances of tumor‐infiltrating lymphocytes and elicits potent systemic antitumor immunity, thereby effectively inhibiting local tumors and ...

Mitochondrial transplantation strategies as potential therapeutics for central nervous system trauma

Neural Regeneration Research, 2018
Mitochondria are essential cellular organelles critical for generating adenosine triphosphate for cellular homeostasis, as well as various mechanisms that can lead to both necrosis and apoptosis. The field of “mitochondrial medicine” is emerging in which

BIN1 and ALDH1B1 Deficiency in Colonic Smooth Muscle Drives Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Fibrosis in Slow‐Transit Constipation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Slow‐transit constipation (STC) is a disabling motility disorder with unclear smooth‐muscle mechanisms. Spatial proteomic analysis of STC patient colon reveals both the central pathogenic role of smooth muscle cells (SMCs) in STC and novel regulators of intestinal motility, BIN1 and ALDH1B1.

Engineering Oncolytic Virus‐Armed Macrophages for Enhanced Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ZIFOA‐M is engineered by conjugating oncolytic adenovirus‐loaded ZIF‐8 nanoparticles onto macrophage surfaces via bioorthogonal chemistry. Upon tumor infiltration, the platform releases OA to downregulate CD47/CD24 on tumor cells, restoring macrophage phagocytosis.

Spatiotemporal Control of Formation of Dynamic Protein Fiber Assemblies via Photophysical Effects of a Focused Laser Beam

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tightly focused laser irradiation can accumulate tubulin proteins at/around the laser focus, which leads to the formation of highly ordered microtubule assemblies. The assemblies can exhibit various dynamic behaviors such as radial motion, bundling, and flagella‐like rotation with motor protein and chemical energy, highlighting as a unique tool for ...

Post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism increases the expression and activity of ectonucleotidases in platelets: Possible involvement of reactive oxygen species

Platelets, 2018
Signaling mediated by purines is a widespread mechanism of cell–cell communication related to vasomotor responses and the control of platelet function in the vascular system. However, little is known about the involvement of this signaling as well as the

ENTPDase inhibitors: therapeutic potential in infectious, inflammatory, and neuroinflammatory diseases [PDF]

Exploration of Neuroscience
Ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolases (ENTPDases), members of the cluster of differentiation 39 (CD39) family, are key regulators of purinergic signaling through the hydrolysis of tri and diphosphate nucleotides.
