Fatal Chronic Varicella‐Zoster Viral Infection in a Young Man With Chediak–Higashi Syndrome
ABSTRACT Chediak–Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare autosomal recessive primary immunodeficiency characterized by partial oculocutaneous albinism, neurologic involvement, and a predisposition to severe infections. Patients are particularly susceptible to developing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), which significantly worsens prognosis. We report

RaPID Selection of Backbone Macrocyclic Peptides Targeting Akt2
Backbone macrocyclic peptide library (BMP) library was screened against Akt2 via RaPID to discover potent BMPPakti‐3 (IC50 = 34 nM). ABSTRACT Backbone‐cyclic peptides (BMPs) are an attractive class of molecules appeared in diverse natural bioactive products. However, mRNA display technology coupled with ribosomal synthesis is intrinsically inapplicable

The role of acquired host immunity in periodontal diseases
Abstract The aim of this narrative review is to relate the contribution of European researchers to the complex topic of the host immune system in periodontal disease, focusing on acquired immunity. Other chapters in this volume will address the genetics and autoantibody responses and other forms of immunity to periodontal disease.

Identification and characterization of the binding sites of P-glycoprotein for multidrug resistance-related drugs and modulators [PDF]
A major problem in cancer treatment is the development of resistance to multiple chemotherapeutic agents in tumor cells. A major mechanism of this multidrug resistance (MDR) is overexpression of the MDR1 product P-glycoprotein, known to bind to and ...

Abstract figure legend Both ATP synthase and adenine nucleotide translocator (ANT) play key roles in mediating the permeability transition. The contribution of ANT becomes evident in the presence of atractylate (ATR) at pH 6.5, a condition that prevents ATP synthase channel activity. At pH 7.4, this effect is minimal, suggesting a critical role for ATP

Abstract figure legend Calciprotein particles (CPPs) are small calcium‐ and phosphate‐containing nanoaggregates associated with the development of vascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previously, we have shown that CPPs induce endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction, possibly contributing to CVD in CKD, but the underlying molecular ...

Next-generation sequencing approach for connecting secondary metabolites to biosynthetic gene clusters in fungi [PDF]
Genomics has revolutionized the research on fungal secondary metabolite (SM) biosynthesis. To elucidate the molecular and enzymatic mechanisms underlying the biosynthesis of a specific SM compound, the important first step is often to find the genes that

Mitochondrial oxidative stress, calcium and dynamics in cardiac ischaemia‐reperfusion injury
Abstract figure legend Heart attack causes ischaemia–reperfusion injury in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. High levels of mitochondrial calcium (Ca2+) activate the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (mPTP), and excess ROS levels can lower the Ca2+ required to activate the mPTP ...
