Shared dysregulation of complement and phosphorylation pathways in the cerebrospinal fluid of encephalitis, Aicardi–Goutières syndrome, and autism

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim To identify shared and disorder‐specific molecular alterations across encephalitis, Aicardi–Goutières syndrome (AGS), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteomics. Method In this cross‐sectional case–control study, mass‐spectrometry‐based proteomics was performed on archived CSF samples collected between ...

Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the misfolding mechanisms of secretion‐defective pancreatic lipase variants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

Lung transplantation in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency

8.2 Transplantation, 2015
Lung transplantation is a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage lung disease and a survival benefit has been described in patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD). The aims of the current study were to determine the survival and health benefits of lung transplantation in UK patients with A1ATD compared to carefully matched non ...

SERPINA1 PiZ and PiS heterozygotes and lung function decline in the SAPALDIA cohort [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Severe alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency is a strong risk factor for COPD. But the impact of gene variants resulting in mild or intermediate AAT deficiency on the longitudinal course of respiratory health remains controversial.

How I Investigate Bleeding Disorders of Unknown Cause: Current Diagnostic Pathways and Gaps in Laboratory Investigation

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bleeding disorder of unknown cause (BDUC) constitutes the largest group of patients presenting with a mild‐to‐moderate bleeding tendency in tertiary care settings. Their clinical bleeding phenotype is characterized by mucocutaneous bleeding, as well as bleeding following surgical challenges or childbirth, and is associated with impaired health‐

Distinct Microbial and Host Proteome Signatures Relate to Proteolytic Activity in Gingival Crevicular Fluid in an Exploratory Study of Patients With Periodontitis

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Risk assessment tools for periodontitis lack sufficient precision to predict disease progression. The aim of this exploratory study was to evaluate proteolytic activity (PA) in gingival crevicular fluid in relation to clinically assessed progression risk, microbial community composition and host proteome. Materials and Methods Samples were
