Getting to grips with strangles: an effective multi-component recombinant vaccine for the protection of horses from Streptococcus equi infection. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2009
Streptococcus equi subspecies equi (S. equi) is a clonal, equine host-adapted pathogen of global importance that causes a suppurative lymphodendopathy of the head and neck, more commonly known as Strangles.

Characterization of the extracellular matrix from human and dog umbilical cords

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The extracellular matrix is important for maintaining tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis; it can also be used as a biomaterial for the production of biological scaffolds. Particularly, the umbilical cord has shown potential in the production of scaffolds for small‐diameter vessels.

Glycan strand cleavage by a lytic transglycosylase, MltD contributes to the expansion of peptidoglycan in Escherichia coli.

PLoS Genetics
Peptidoglycan (PG) is a protective sac-like exoskeleton present in most bacterial cell walls. It is a large, covalently crosslinked mesh-like polymer made up of many glycan strands cross-bridged to each other by short peptide chains.

Monitoring pharmacodynamic and molecular drug targets in liquid biopsy: Exploratory study in liver cancer with modelling of EGFR Receptor engagement

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive (compared with tissue biopsy) and has previously been used to generate systems data regarding drug elimination via hepatic enzymes and transporters. This study extends quantitative assessment of systems parameters in liquid biopsy to pharmacodynamic (PD) and disease markers relevant to cancer development

Reduced peptidoglycan synthesis capacity impairs growth of E. coli at high salt concentration

mBio
Gram-negative bacteria have a thin peptidoglycan layer between the cytoplasmic and outer membranes protecting the cell from osmotic challenges. Hydrolases of this structure are needed to cleave bonds to allow the newly synthesized peptidoglycan strands ...

New therapeutic options for metabolic‐associated steatotic liver disease

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
An increasing number of patients are being diagnosed with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). MASLD results from disturbances in hepatic lipid metabolism and is associated with an increased risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and significant extrahepatic morbidity, including cardiovascular disease and ...

Protein digestion in human and rat small intestine: role of new neutral endopeptidases

, 1988
Two new phosphoramidon-insensitive neutral endopeptidases were identified and partially characterized in the brush-border membrane of rat and human intestine using N-CBZ-L-Ala-L-Arg-L-Arg-4-methoxy-beta-naphthylamide (Z-Ala-Arg-Arg-MNA) and azocasein or

Purification of Advanced Therapeutics by Flow‐Through Pseudo‐Affinity Chromatography: Bi‐Specific mABs, Fc Fusion Proteins, and Adeno‐Associated Viruses

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern biopharmaceutical manufacturing requires purification platforms capable of processing structurally and functionally diverse products while addressing the challenge of removing persistent and high‐risk host cell proteins (HCPs).

Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum organelle glue as maturation promoter for origination/dimensional dual‐cross cardiomyocytes

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mitochondria‐endoplasmic reticulum contact sites (MERCS) are areas where the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum closely interact. In this study, we utilize synthetic organelle glues to artificially engineer MERCS for regulating cardiomyocyte development, through which the immature and chemo‐plasticity issues of undifferentiated cells are addressed.

Hybrid Macrocyclic Peptides — Synthetic Strategies to Diversify and Cyclize Peptide Libraries in Phage Display Selections

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Hybrid macrocyclic peptides unite genetically encoded peptide libraries with the structural complexity of synthetic small molecules. This Review critically analyzes phage‐compatible cyclization and diversification chemistries, highlights emerging opportunities beyond traditional cysteine‐based approaches, and outlines how future advances may enable the
