The RHIM of the Immune Adaptor Protein TRIF Forms Hybrid Amyloids with Other Necroptosis-Associated Proteins

open access: yesMolecules, 2022
TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing interferon-β (TRIF) is an innate immune protein that serves as an adaptor for multiple cellular signalling outcomes in the context of infection. TRIF is activated via ligation of Toll-like receptors 3 and 4.

Identification of a Region in the Common Amino-terminal Domain of Hendra Virus P, V, and W Proteins Responsible for Phase Transition and Amyloid Formation

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Henipaviruses are BSL-4 zoonotic pathogens responsible in humans for severe encephalitis. Their V protein is a key player in the evasion of the host innate immune response.

TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY FOR THE DIRECT ANALYSIS OF FIBRIN CLOT STRUCTURE [PDF]

open access: yesBiotechnologia Acta, 2023
The aim of our study was to compare the structure of clots formed as a result of thrombin-induced fibrin polymerization in the presence or absence of monoclonal fibrin-specific antibodies fragments as factors that change the clot structure.

Inhibition of Protein Aggregation and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress as a Targeted Therapy for α-Synucleinopathy

open access: yesPharmaceutics, 2023
α-synuclein (α-syn) is an intrinsically disordered protein abundant in the central nervous system. Physiologically, the protein regulates vesicle trafficking and neurotransmitter release in the presynaptic terminals. Pathologies related to misfolding and

Assessment of Aggregated and Exosome-Associated α-Synuclein in Brain Tissue and Cerebrospinal Fluid Using Specific Immunoassays

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
Even though it is currently well-established that α-synuclein aggregation is closely associated with the pathological events in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and several other neurodegenerative disorders, collectively called synucleinopathies, the mechanistic

Antibody-recognizing residues 188-211 of TMEM106B exhibit immunohistochemical reactivity with the TMEM106B C-terminal fragment

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
Accumulation of TMEM106B fibrils composed of cleaved C-terminal fragments (CTF) of transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) has recently been observed in the brains of elderly subjects and individuals with neurodegenerative diseases.

The Effect of Enzymatic Crosslink Degradation on the Mechanics of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament: A Hybrid Multi-Domain Model

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
The anterior cruciate ligament’s (ACL) mechanics is an important factor governing the ligament’s integrity and, hence, the knee joint’s response. Despite many investigations in this area, the cause and effect of injuries remain unclear or unknown.

Phenol-Soluble Modulins Modulate Persister Cell Formation in Staphylococcus aureus

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Staphylococcus aureus is a human pathogen that can cause chronic and recurrent infections and is recalcitrant to antibiotic chemotherapy. This trait is partly attributed to its ability to form persister cells, which are subpopulations of cells that are ...
