Serum Proteomic Signatures of RA Risk and Response: Analysis of the APIPPRA Trial
Objective To identify serum protein signatures associated with progression to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and response to abatacept in at‐risk individuals. Methods A total of 440 serum samples from 118 APIPPRA study participants were selected from baseline to RA onset for 46 RA progressors or to study end for 72 participants who did not develop RA ...

Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by

Human brain harbors single nucleotide somatic variations in functionally relevant genes possibly mediated by oxidative stress [PDF]
Somatic variation in DNA can cause cells to deviate from the preordained genomic path in both disease and healthy conditions. Here, using exome sequencing of paired tissue samples, we show that the normal human brain harbors somatic single base ...

Reduced Dietary Protein Induces Changes in the Dental Proteome
Low dietary protein (10%) from normal (20%) does change protein expression in tooth proteome and alter developmental pathways. Among the significant protein expressions changes are actin‐based myosins, tooth, and bone development proteins. Perplexingly tooth size is not altered, suggesting more nuanced phenotypic response to low dietary protein in ...

LRRK2 as a Potential Disease‐Modifying Target in Sporadic Parkinson's Disease
Abstract A growing understanding of the role that leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) plays in Parkinson's disease (PD) supports continued focus on this enzyme as a therapeutic target for PD. Accumulating evidence suggests that there are phenotypic, neuropathologic, and biological similarities between sporadic PD (sPD) and familial forms in which ...

Glial ankyrins facilitate paranodal axoglial junction assembly [PDF]
Neuron-glia interactions establish functional membrane domains along myelinated axons. These include nodes of Ranvier, paranodal axoglial junctions and juxtaparanodes. Paranodal junctions are the largest vertebrate junctional adhesion complex, and they are essential for rapid saltatory conduction and contribute to assembly and maintenance of nodes ...

Differential Proteomics of Large Extracellular Vesicles in Ovarian Cancer
ABSTRACT Diverse extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in all body fluids; however, knowledge of large EVs (lEVs) remains limited. Molecular EV profiles vary depending on EV size and the physiological circulatory system, even within the same patient. In this study, we aimed to characterize the proteomic profile of IEVs in ovarian cancer patients and

Mechanical Unfolding of an Ankyrin Repeat Protein [PDF]
Ankryin repeat proteins comprise tandem arrays of a 33-residue, predominantly alpha-helical motif that stacks roughly linearly to produce elongated and superhelical structures. They function as scaffolds mediating a diverse range of protein-protein interactions, and some have been proposed to play a role in mechanical signal transduction processes in ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
