A nucleotide‐independent, pan‐RAS‐targeted DARPin elicits anti‐tumor activity in a multimodal manner
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We report a Designed Ankyrin Repeat Protein that binds and inhibits RAS proteins, which serve as central cell signaling hubs and are essential for the progression of many cancers. Its unique feature is that it does not discriminate between different RAS isoforms or mutations and is capable of binding to RAS in both its active (GTP‐bound) and inactive ...

Extraction and Quantification of Cyclic Di-GMP from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Bio-Protocol, 2013 Cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) has emerged as an important intracellular signaling molecule, controlling the transitions between planktonic (free-living) and sessile lifestyles, biofilm formation, and virulence in a wide variety of microorganisms.

Cyclic nucleotide-gated channels: structural basis of ligand efficacy and allosteric modulation [PDF]
, 1997 Most working proteins, including metabolic enzymes, transcription regulators, and membrane receptors, transporters, and ion channels, share the property of allosteric coupling. The term 'allosteric' means that these proteins mediate indirect interactions

Plasma‐Treated Hydrogel for Combined RONS and Chemotherapy Delivery: A Proof‐of‐Concept In Ovo
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study explores plasma‐treated hydrogels (PTH) as a new way to deliver both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) directly to tumors. In ovo tests show effects after a single dose, especially in osteosarcoma tumors. Tumor weight decrease, and a resistance‐related protein is reduced.

Thermoresponsive BrushGel Microcarriers for Efficient Cell Expansion and Enzyme‐Reduced Harvesting
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Askari et al, report on temperature‐responsive microcarriers to minimize enzyme use and cost in dynamic cultures. Abstract Scaling up cell therapy requires efficient expansion of high‐quality cells. Microcarrier(MC)‐based systems offer high surface‐to‐volume ratios and reduce culture media usage.

The cyclic GMP modulators YC-1 and zaprinast reduce vessel remodeling through anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic effects [PDF]
, 2009 Guanosine-specific cyclic nucleotide signaling is suggested to serve protective actions in the vasculature; however, the influence of selective pharmacologic modulation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (GMP)-synthesizing soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC ...

Effects of magnesium on cyclic GMP hydrolysis by the bovine retinal rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1995 Knowledge of the kinetics of the rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase is essential for understanding the kinetics and gain of the light response. Therefore, the interactions between Mg2+, cyclic GMP, and purified, trypsin-activated bovine rod cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) were examined.

Regulation of gingival epithelial cytokine response by bacterial cyclic dinucleotides
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2019 Background: Cyclic dinucleotides (cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) and cyclic di-adenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP)) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
