Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

Novel Therapy Based on Camelid Nanobodies [PDF]
Therapeutic Delivery, 2013 Nanobodies (Nbs) are small antibody fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies through recombinant gene technology. Their exceptional physicochemical properties, possibility of humanization and unique antigen recognition properties make them excellent candidates for targeted delivery of biologically active components.

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.We developed an assay to distinguish cellular binding from internalization. Compatible with microscopy and high‐throughput screening, the method identifies ligand‐mediated uptake. Applying top candidates to a protein‐based DNA carrier enhanced transfection efficiency, providing a rational strategy to improve non‐viral gene delivery systems.

Lactoferrin and immunoglobulin content in camel milk from bactrian, dromedary and hybrids in Kazakhstan [PDF]
, 2008 Milk of Camelidae is well-known for there health effects on human. This effect is partially attributed to their antibacterial properties. These properties could be linked to some substances, like proteins, lipids and vitamins.

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles displaying RBD‐SD1 from MERS‐CoV, NL140422, and HKU4 elicited robust and cross‐reactive IgG responses in mice. Only MERS‐CoV RBD‐SD1 induced neutralizing antibodies against MERS‐CoV and protected human DPP4 mice from a MERS‐CoV challenge, indicating conserved serologic but limited cross‐neutralizing epitopes.

Parathyroid hormone-related peptide stimulates intestinal strontium absorption in Camels (Camelus dromedarius) [PDF]
, 2008 The present work was undertaken to evaluate the stimulatory effect of Parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) on the intestinal calcium (Ca) absorption using stable strontium (Sr) as a surgoate marker in 10 Camels.
