Harnessing innate lung anti-cancer effector functions with a novel bacterial-derived immunotherapy

OncoImmunology, 2018
Acute infection is known to induce strong anti-tumor immune responses, but clinical translation has been hindered by the lack of an effective strategy to safely and consistently provoke a therapeutic response.

Functional variation among LPMOs revealed by the inhibitory effects of cyanide and buffer ions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study addresses the inhibition of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) by cyanide and explains how and why the magnitude of observed inhibitory effects depends on the way LPMO reactions are setup and on the type of LPMO. Enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono‐copper polysaccharide‐degrading peroxygenases that ...

Existence of biological uncertainty principle implies that we can never find 'THE' measure for biological complexity [PDF]

arXiv, 2009
There are innumerable 'biological complexity measure's. While some patterns emerge from these attempts to represent biological complexity, a single measure to encompass the seemingly countless features of biological systems, still eludes the students of Biology.

Ablation of LRP6 in alpha‐smooth muscle actin‐expressing cells abrogates lung inflammation and fibrosis upon bleomycin‐induced lung injury

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

Large-scale Biological Meta-database Management [PDF]

, 2015
Up-to-date meta-databases are vital for the analysis of biological data. However,the current exponential increase in biological data leads to exponentially increasing meta-database sizes. Large-scale meta-database management is therefore an important challenge for production platforms providing services for biological data analysis.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.
