Optimized sonoreactor for accelerative amyloid-fibril assays through enhancement of primary nucleation and fragmentation

open access: yesUltrasonics Sonochemistry, 2021
Ultrasonication to supersaturated protein solutions forcibly forms amyloid fibrils, thereby allowing the early-stage diagnosis for amyloidoses. Previously, we constructed a high-throughput sonoreactor to investigate features of the amyloid-fibril ...

Second-harmonic generation microscopy analysis reveals proteoglycan decorin is necessary for proper collagen organization in prostate. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Collagen remodeling occurs in many prostate pathologies; however, the underlying structural architecture in both normal and diseased prostatic tissues is largely unexplored.

Atrial fibrillation [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Medical Association Journal, 2004
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained dysrhythmia in adults. It is ironic, then, that although mechanisms and effective treatments for most other supraventricular tachyarrhythmias have been discovered, AF remains incompletely understood and poorly treated.

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

Elastic moduli of collagen fibrils measured by nanoindentation test using atomic force microscope (AFM) and tensile test

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016
Fibrils were isolated from rat tail tendons and the nanoindentation tests and tensile tests of these fibrils were performed in air (dry condition). In the nanoindentation test using atomic force microscope (AFM), the indentation depth and force of the ...

Patient‐specific pharmacogenomics demonstrates xCT as predictive therapeutic target in colon cancer with possible implications in tumor connectivity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study integrates transcriptomic profiling of matched tumor and healthy tissues from 32 colorectal cancer patients with functional validation in patient‐derived organoids, revealing dysregulated metabolic programs driven by overexpressed xCT (SLC7A11) and SLC3A2, identifying an oncogenic cystine/glutamate transporter signature linked to ...

Comparative Analysis of the Relative Fragmentation Stabilities of Polymorphic Alpha-Synuclein Amyloid Fibrils

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2022
The division of amyloid fibril particles through fragmentation is implicated in the progression of human neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s disease.

Limited proteolysis in the investigation of beta2-microglobulin amyloidogenic and fibrillar states. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Amyloid fibrils of patients treated with regular haemodialysis essentially consists of β2-microglobulin (β2-m) and its truncated species ΔN6β2-m lacking six residues at the amino terminus.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

A structure-based extracellular matrix expansion mechanism of fibrous tissue growth

open access: yeseLife, 2015
Embryonic growth occurs predominately by an increase in cell number; little is known about growth mechanisms later in development when fibrous tissues account for the bulk of adult vertebrate mass. We present a model for fibrous tissue growth based on 3D-
