Clinical trial of a potent non-halogenated topical steroid, Budesonide

open access: yesActa Dermato-Venereologica, 1981
In a double-blind, randomized multi-centre study, 116 patients with psoriasis have been treated for 1-3 weeks with budesonide ointment (Preferid, Draco/Tika; a subsidiary of AB ASTRA), a new non-halogenated topical steroid. In a series of 11 patients a 0.025% budesonide ointment was significantly superior to placebo. In a second series, of 54 patients,

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
