Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Decoding the dynamic extracellular matrix in cancer—3D models and bioscaffolds rewire the rules of tumor progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer progression is regulated by the dynamic matrix code of the tumor microenvironment, which influences cellular behavior and disease development. Importantly, matrix remodeling in three‐dimensional cancer models more accurately reflects in vivo conditions compared to conventional two‐dimensional systems.

Identification of a Shiga toxin A‐derived peptide internalized into Gb3 receptor‐bearing cells via interaction with the Shiga toxin B subunit

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Comparative long-term outcomes of conventional immunomodulatory therapy, biologic agents, and combination therapy in chronic uveitis

Journal of Ophthalmic Inflammation and Infection
Background Chronic non-infectious uveitis can lead to vision loss if not adequately controlled. Thus, steroid-sparing immunomodulatory therapy (IMT) is often required to achieve and maintain disease quiescence. It is unclear if biologic agents inhibiting

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Alternations of the gut microbiota and the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio after biologic treatment in inflammatory bowel disease

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection
Background: The inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) is a complex disease with multifactorial etiology. The intestinal dysbiosis have been investigated to play an important role in IBD pathogenesis

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Effect of biologic treatments on growth in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: A systematic review.

PLoS ONE
Children with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience growth retardation due to various factors. The advent of biologic therapies has revolutionized the management of aggressive forms of JIA.

An epithelial GPR35 isoform supports tumor‐associated transcriptional and metabolic phenotypes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
GPR35 generates two functionally distinct isoforms with previously unresolved roles. GPR35‐short mediates immune‐cell chemotaxis, while GPR35‐long is enriched in colorectal cancer epithelium, where it supports increased metabolism, proliferation, and tumor‐associated transcriptional programs.

Sequential treatment with secukinumab and ustekinumab in a patient with severe psoriasis and recent history of cerebral malignant melanoma metastasis

Clinical Case Reports, 2019
This report of a 53‐year‐old woman with severe psoriasis treated with biologic therapy despite recent history of malignant melanoma with cerebral metastasis suggests that biologic therapy for chronic inflammatory diseases may be an option for selected ...
