Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Resistance to enfuvirtide, the first HIV fusion inhibitor [PDF]
Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 2004 Fusion inhibitors are a new class of antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) for the treatment of human immunodeficiency virus infection. Enfuvirtide is the first in this class to reach market approval. Fusion inhibitors block the last step in the three-step viral entry process consisting of attachment, co-receptor binding and fusion, thereby preventing viral ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Membrane fusion SNAREs an inhibitor [PDF]
The Journal of Cell Biology, 2003 Two membranes fuse into one through the action of SNARE proteins. As only particular combinations of t-SNAREs (on the target membrane) and v-SNAREs (on the vesicle) will cause fusion between bilayers, restricting their localization promotes fusion in the right place. On page 79, Varlamov et al.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

CaMKIIalpha interacts with multi-PDZ domain protein MUPP1 in spermatozoa and prevents spontaneous acrosomal exocytosis [PDF]
, 2009 The success of acrosomal exocytosis, a complex process with a variety of inter-related steps, relies on the coordinated interaction of participating signaling molecules.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Preliminary Analysis of Vital Proteins of the Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus [PDF]
, 2010 Human Respiratory Syncytial Virus infects the vast majority of children under the age of two and reoccurs in adulthood. It is a serious global problem as severe infection and death can result in the very young or very old and in immunocompromised people.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Journal of Oral Biology and Craniofacial Research, 2020 TGF-β signaling is one of important function during palatal fusion. Three types of TGF-β receptor (TβR1, TβR2, and TβR3) have been identified, and play essential roles in mechanisms leading to palatal fusion.
