Characterization and phylogenetic epitope mapping of CD38 ADPR cyclase in the cynomolgus macaque

BMC Immunology, 2004
Background The CD38 transmembrane glycoprotein is an ADP-ribosyl cyclase that moonlights as a receptor in cells of the immune system. Both functions are independently implicated in numerous areas related to human health.

Exploring NAD(+) metabolism in host-pathogen interactions [PDF]

, 2016
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a vital molecule found in all living cells. NAD+ intracellular levels are dictated by its synthesis, using the de novo and/or salvage pathway, and through its catabolic use as co-enzyme or co-substrate.

Immune Cell Proteins and Parkinson's Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis of Causal Associations

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was applied to elucidate the causal relationship between immune cell proteins and PD. Our study reveals a possible causal effect of immune cell proteins on the risk of PD and provides new ideas for the prevention and management of PD through immune cell proteins.

Ten‐Eleven Translocation Family Proteins: Structure, Biological Functions, Diseases, and Targeted Therapy

MedComm, Volume 6, Issue 7, July 2025.
TET family proteins play a critical role in DNA demethylation, and their mutations and dysregulation contribute to the onset of multiple diseases. With a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of TET involvement in disease, drug therapy targeting TET proteins shows great potential, which provides insights into new therapeutic strategies ...

Integrative Roles of Pro‐Inflammatory Cytokines on Airway Smooth Muscle Structure and Function in Asthma

Immunological Reviews, Volume 330, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Asthma has become more appreciated for its heterogeneity with studies identifying type 2 and non‐type 2 phenotypes/endotypes that ultimately lead to airflow obstruction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and remodeling. The pro‐inflammatory environment in asthma influences airway smooth muscle (ASM) structure and function.

The Mysterious World of Non‐Canonical Caps – What We Know and Why We Need New Sequencing Techniques

ChemBioChem, Volume 26, Issue 3, February 1, 2025.
This review describes sophisticated methodologies such as LC–MS that enabled the identification of 5’ non‐canonical RNA caps and also surveys so far developed sequencing methods, evaluating their advantages and disadvantages. It emphasizes the need for developing new, reliable sequencing techniques to identify RNA types with non‐canonical caps enabling

Tartary Buckwheat Bran and Fructus Aurantii Combination (TBB‐FA): A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Functional Dyspepsia via Modulation of Gut Microbiota, Short‐Chain Fatty Acids and Purine Signaling Pathway

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
Fructus aurantii, stir‐baked with Tartary buckwheat bran, was employed as a treatment for functional dyspepsia (FD). The potential of this combination to replace or supplement wheat bran was thoroughly assessed. The purinergic signaling system holds potential as a therapeutic target for gastrointestinal disorders, thereby facilitating the development ...
