Serum YKL-40 levels and disease characteristics in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2019
Background: The present study aimed to evaluate serum YKL-40 levels in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to healthy subjects and to search whether there is an association between YKL-40 levels and disease characteristics in RA. Methods: In

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Distribution of HLA-DRB1 Alleles in Patients With Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Their Association With Antiphospholipid Antibodies Presence and Damage Indexes

Journal of Immunology Research
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is frequently coexisting with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and the knowledge on its genetic background is essential. The objective of this work was to assess distribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 alleles

Effects of Ti6Al4V Surfaces Manufactured through Precision Centrifugal Casting and Modified by Calcium and Phosphorus Ion Implantation on Human Osteoblasts

Metals, 2020
(1) In order to enable a more widespread use of uncemented titanium-based endoprostheses to replace cobalt-containing cemented endoprostheses for joint replacement, it is essential to achieve optimal osseointegrative properties and develop economic ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

High Prevalence of Cold Intolerance in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Case–Control Study

Clinical Case Reports
Cold intolerance is more common in rheumatoid arthritis patients than control. Cold intolerance tends to develop after rheumatoid arthritis onset and is associated with longer disease duration, with pain and swelling being dominant features.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

IL-1β Inhibits Human Osteoblast Migration

Molecular Medicine, 2013
Bone has a high capacity for self-renewal and repair. Prolonged local secretion of interleukin 1β (IL-1β), however, is known to be associated with severe bone loss and delayed fracture healing.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
