Effective Doses of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 in Experimental Spinal Fusion [PDF]
Study Design Nineteen dogs underwent L4-L5 intertransverse process fusions with either 58 μg, 115 μg, 230 μg, 460 μg, or 920 μg of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 carried by a polylactic acid polymer.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

Unusual Fusion Proteins of HIV-1 [PDF]
Despite its small genome size, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) is one of the most successful pathogens and has infected more than 70 million people worldwide within the last decades. In total, HIV-1 expresses 16 canonical proteins from only nine genes within its 10 kb genome.

A single mutation in the envelope protein modulates flavivirus antigenicity, stability, and pathogenesis [PDF]
The structural flexibility or 'breathing' of the envelope (E) protein of flaviviruses allows virions to sample an ensemble of conformations at equilibrium.

Calcium‐sensing receptor‐ and ADAM10‐mediated klotho shedding is regulated by tetraspanin 5
The G protein‐coupled calcium‐sensing receptor (CaSR) and the disintegrin/metalloprotease ADAM10 in the renal distal convoluted tubule control systemic levels of Klotho, a cell and tissue homeostasis‐preserving factor. We show that CaSR‐induced cleavage of membrane‐bound αKlotho by ADAM10 requires tetraspanin 5 (Tspan5), a scaffolding and chaperone ...

Hematopoietic cancers and Nup98 fusions: determining common mechanisms of malignancy [PDF]
Chromosomal aberrations are very frequent in leukemias and several recurring mutations capable of malignant transformation have been described. These mutations usually occur in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), transforming them into leukemia stem cells.

A photosensitizing fusion protein with targeting capabilities
Abstract The photodynamic treatment for antimicrobial applications or anticancer therapy relies on reactive oxygen species generated by photosensitizing molecules after absorption of visible or near-infrared light. If the photosensitizing molecule is in close vicinity of the microorganism or the malignant cell, a photocytotoxic action is

Potent single-domain antibodies that arrest respiratory syncytial virus fusion protein in its prefusion state [PDF]
Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the main cause of lower respiratory tract infections in young children. The RSV fusion protein (F) is highly conserved and is the only viral membrane protein that is essential for infection.

Human colon organoid differentiation from induced pluripotent stem cells using an improved method
We compared established protocols to differentiate induced pluripotent stem cells into colon organoids and found that activation of bone morphogenetic protein 2 signaling induced gene expression of colon‐specific markers. Adenovirus‐mediated transduction of the transcription factors HOXD13 or SATB2 further enhanced colonic gene expression, suggesting ...
