Assessment of cathepsin H point mutants.

, 2018
(A) Measurement of cathepsin H aminopeptidase activity in HEK293T cell lines overexpressing the indicated forms of cathepsin H. Activity is expressed as RFUs (relative fluorescent units) detected after cleavage of cathepsin H substrate.

Bioinorganic Site‐Specific Conjugation of Multi‐Arm Linkers to Create Pharmaceuticals With Targeting and Effector Functions

Journal of the Chinese Chemical Society, EarlyView.
This Account showcases a modular, multi‐arm linker platform that decouples payload loading from antibody conjugation. By leveraging a computationally designed ACPGHA zinc‐binding motif, we demonstrate the construction of homogeneous antibody‐drug conjugates and theranostic antibody‐radionuclide conjugates with high payload loading. The multi‐arm linker

MG115 inhibits cathepsin C activity.

, 2014
(A) The cathepsin C assay was performed in the presence of 1 ng recombinant cathepsin C, the cathepsin C substrate Gly-Arg-AMC, and increasing concentrations of MG115 or the cathepsin C inhibitor Gly-Phe-DMK (GF-DMK). Cathepsin C activity was measured by

Antimicrobial Cyclic Peptidomimetics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Singular macromolecular cationic, amphipathic cyclic peptidomimetics with poly(2‐oxazoline)s‐esque backbone structure that undergo self‐assembly in water to form uniform nanoparticles were developed. The cyclic peptidomimetics, which act on bacterial cell membranes, exhibit hydrophobic‐dependent antimicrobial activity and toxicity.

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

Rare‐Variant Burden across Lysosomal Genes Implicates Sialylation and Ganglioside Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lysosomal dysfunction is central to Parkinson's disease (PD) pathogenesis, with GBA1 representing the strongest established genetic risk factor. Numerous other genes involved in lysosomal sphingolipid, glycosphingolipid, and ceramide metabolism have been proposed as contributors to PD, highlighting the need for genetic analyses ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Cerebrospinal fluid cathepsin B and S

, 2013
Cathepsins are increased in the brain of elderly animals. We investigate the presence of cathepsin B and S in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) plasma and the associations with cystatin C, age and sex.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential
