Abundant lipid and protein components of drusen. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Drusen are extracellular lesions characteristic of aging and age-related maculopathy, a major retinal disease of the elderly. We determined the relative proportions of lipids and proteins in drusen capped with retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and in RPE ...

Gut Microbial Topology and Metabolic Signatures Associated With Colorectal Neoplasia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut microbiota organizes into two robust association patterns linked to colorectal neoplasia risk. Topological shifts in microbial networks are associated with metabolite alterations and may shape host responses during disease development. ABSTRACT Alterations of gut microbial communities impact health.

Digoxin Alleviates Osteoarthritis by Inhibiting Macrophage Extracellular Trap Formation via Disruption of the LSP1‐SOD1 Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Synovial macrophages in osteoarthritis upregulate LSP1, which directly binds and inhibits SOD1, triggering a redox imbalance that activates both NOX and mitochondrial ROS pathways. This cascade drives the release of macrophage extracellular traps (METs), causing chondrocyte damage and disease progression.

Structural basis for complement factor H-linked age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

, 2007
Nearly 50 million people worldwide suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which causes severe loss of central vision. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the gene for the complement regulator factor H (FH), which causes a Tyr-to-His ...

3D Bioprinted Blood–Brain–Tumor Barrier Spheroid‐Based In Situ Evaluation of Anticancer Compounds Against Glioblastoma: ROS‐Producing Ruthenium as a Potential Therapeutic Candidate

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The blood–brain–tumor barrier (BBTB) penetration by anticancer drugs and their effects on glioblastoma (GBM) is assessed using 3D bioprinted‐spheroids. Anticancer drug‐induced U‐87 MG cell death is quantified through in situ imaging of spheroids using a cancer cell death probe. The Ru compound, a partial P‐gp substrate, induces greater tumor‐cell death

Carbohydrate recognition and complement activation by rat ficolin-B [PDF]

, 2010
Ficolins are innate immune components that bind to PAMPs and structures on apoptotic cells. Humans produce two serum forms (L-and H-ficolin) and a leukocyte-associated form (M-ficolin), whereas rodents and most other mammals produce ficolins-A and -B ...

Immune Biomarkers of Islet Transplant Rejection Revealed by Synthetic Immunological Niche

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A subcutaneous synthetic immunological niche (IN) enables serial, minimally invasive monitoring of immune responses after islet transplantation. Flow cytometry and transcriptomic profiling of the IN reveal immune‐cell programs associated with graft acceptance and distinct types of rejection.

A disulfide linked model of the complement protein C8 gamma complexed with C8 alpha indel peptide

, 2009
In a recent study C8 gamma (complement protein) with Cys40Ala substitution and a C8 alpha derived peptide with Cys164Ala substitution were co-crystallized and their binding mode was revealed.

A Unifying Approach to Self‐Organizing Systems Interacting via Conservation Laws

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The article develops a unified way to model and analyze self‐organizing systems whose interactions are constrained by conservation laws. It represents physical/biological/engineered networks as graphs and builds projection operators (from incidence/cycle structure) that enforce those constraints and decompose network variables into constrained versus ...

Heterogeneous MAC Initiator and Pore Structures in a Lipid Bilayer by Phase-Plate Cryo-electron Tomography

Cell Reports, 2016
Pore formation in membranes is important for mammalian immune defense against invading bacteria. Induced by complement activation, the membrane attack complex (MAC) forms through sequential binding and membrane insertion of C5b6, C7, C8, and C9.
