Stronger inflammatory/cytotoxic T cell response in women identified by microarray analysis [PDF]
, 2008 Women develop chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like lupus more often than men. The mechanisms causing the increased susceptibility are incompletely understood, although estrogen is believed to contribute.

Consensus-derived structural determinants of the ankyrin repeat motif [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 The ankyrin repeat is one of the most common, modular, protein–protein interaction motifs in nature. To understand the structural determinants of this family of proteins and extract the consensus information that defines the architecture of this motif, we have designed a series of idealized ankyrin repeat proteins containing one, two, three, or four ...

Novel approaches for drug development against chronic primary pain: A systematic review
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic primary pain (CPP) persisting for more than 3 months, associated with significant emotional distress without any known underlying cause, is an unmet medical need. Traditional or adjuvant analgesics do not provide satisfactory pain relief for a great proportion of these patients.

Exclusive development of T cell neoplasms in mice transplanted with bone marrow expressing activated Notch alleles [PDF]
, 1996 Notch is a highly conserved transmembrane protein that is involved in cell fate decisions and is found in organisms ranging from Drosophila to humans. A human homologue of Notch, TAN1, was initially identified at the chromosomal breakpoint of a subset of

The Ankyrin Repeat Protein Diego Mediates Frizzled-Dependent Planar Polarization [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2001 During planar polarization of the Drosophila wing epithelium, the homophilic adhesion molecule Flamingo localizes to proximal/distal cell boundaries in response to Frizzled signaling; perturbing Frizzled signaling alters Flamingo distribution, many cell diameters distant, by a mechanism that is not well understood.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Background and Purpose Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a prevalent and treatment‐resistant side effect of platinum‐based chemotherapy, characterised by mechanical allodynia. Cannabigerol (CBG), a non‐psychoactive cannabinoid, has shown antinociceptive potential, but its site and mechanism of action remain unclear.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Chronic pain, marked by nociceptive sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity, affects 30% of the global population with escalating socioeconomic burdens. Epidemiological data show a 2‐3‐fold increase in neuropsychiatric co‐morbidities among individuals with chronic pain, where epigenetic dysregulation serves as a key mechanism linking ...

KRAS-specific inhibition using a DARPin binding to a site in the allosteric lobe
Nature Communications, 2019 Mutant RAS family members occur in a wide range of tumour types, and there is a great interest in identifying isoform-specific inhibitors. Here, the authors characterise two designed ankyrin repeat proteins (DARPins) that specifically inhibit the KRAS ...

Selective disruption of high sensitivity heat activation but not capsaicin activation of TRPV1 channels by pore turret mutations. [PDF]
, 2012 The capsaicin receptor transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV)1 is a highly heat-sensitive ion channel. Although chemical activation and heat activation of TRPV1 elicit similar pungent, painful sensation, the molecular mechanism underlying ...
