Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

Isoelectric point of albumin: Effect on renal handling of albumin
Kidney International, 1979 Electrical charge is thought to be an important factor in the integrity of the glomerular barrier to filtration of macromolecules [1, 2]. Studies that have explored the integrity of the glomerular barrier to filtration have been done with heterologous tracer or probe proteins and with polysaccharide macromolecules.

CD9‐association with PIP2 areas is regulated by a CD9 salt bridge
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The tetraspanin CD9 has an intracellular salt bridge. If CD9 opens, open‐CD9 moves from PIP2‐rich areas to regions populated by its interaction partner EWI‐2. Hence, the state of the salt bridge regulates the distribution of CD9 and by this CD9‐EWI‐2 complex formation.

Nitric oxide‐forming nitrite reductases in the anaerobic ammonium oxidizer Kuenenia stuttgartiensis
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Anammox bacteria remove fixed nitrogen from their environment via anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) with nitrite as electron acceptor and dinitrogen gas as product. The first anammox step is the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide by nitrite reductase.
