Amyloidogenic Peptide Fragments Designed From Bacterial Collagen‐like Proteins Form Hydrogel

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study identified amyloidogenic sequence motifs in bacterial collagen‐like proteins and exploited these to design peptides that self‐assemble into β‐sheet fibers and form hydrogels. One hydrogel supported healthy fibroblast growth, showing promise for biocompatible materials. Our work demonstrates that bacterial sequences can be harnessed to create

Phospholipid-Dependent Anti-.BETA.2-Glycoprotein I (.BETA.2-GPI) Antibodies and Antiphospholipid Syndrome.

Internal Medicine, 1996
A portion of anticardiolipin antibodies is defined as phospholipid-dependent anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2-GPI) antibodies and recognizes the conformationally altered beta 2 GPI which interacts with anionic phospholipids. We studied the clinical significance of IgG phospholipid-dependent anti-beta 2-GPI antibodies in patients with antiphospholipid

PACAP induces FSHβ gene expression via EPAC. [PDF]

, 2019
Gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), are heterodimers of a common α subunit and unique β subunits. Regulation of their levels, primarily by GnRH, is critical for reproductive function.

The morphology of porcine oocytes is associated with zona pellucida glycoprotein 3 and integrin beta 2 protein levels--

Veterinární Medicína, 2010
The morphology and quality of oocytes is set during oo- and folliculo-genesis, and is completed during final maturation. Early embryonic development is associated with the morphology of the cumulus-oocyte-complex (COC).

A Heparin‐Functionalized Scaffold with HB‐EGF Immobilization for Tissue Engineering

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, a heparin‐functionalized scaffold is designed for bio‐mimicking growth factors reservoir function of extracellular matrix. Due to the presence of heparin‐binding domain, heparin‐binding epidermal growth factor‐like growth factor (HB‐EGF) is effectively and spatially captured by heparin‐functionalized scaffold.

EAE in beta-2 microglobulin-deficient mice: axonal damage is not dependent on MHC-I restricted immune responses

Neurobiology of Disease, 2005
There is accumulating evidence that CD8-positive (CD8+) T-cells and MHC-I expression may also play a role in neurodegeneration associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). We investigated the role of MHC-I and CD8+ T-cells by studying experimental autoimmune
