Exosomes promote pre-metastatic niche formation in ovarian cancer. [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is one of the most common gynecological malignancies. Upon initial diagnosis, the majority of patients present with widespread metastatic growth within the peritoneal cavity. This metastatic growth occurs in stages, with the formation of a

Cell Propagation of Cholera Toxin CTA ADP-Ribosylating Factor by Exosome Mediated Transfer [PDF]
In this study, we report how the cholera toxin (CT) A subunit (CTA), the enzyme moiety responsible for signaling alteration in host cells, enters the exosomal pathway, secretes extracellularly, transmits itself to a cell population.

Purified human liver acid β-
Our studies with purified human liver acid beta-D-galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.23) indicate that 4-methylumbelliferyl beta-D-galactosidase and G(M1)-ganglioside beta-D-galactosidase activities are identical with lactosylceramidase II activity. Evidence for this includes co-purification of all enzyme activities by affinity chromatography to yield a single ...

Alzheimer’s Disease as a Membrane Disorder: Spatial Cross-Talk Among Beta-Amyloid Peptides, Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors and Lipid Rafts [PDF]
Biological membranes show lateral and transverse asymmetric lipid distribution. Cholesterol (Chol) localizes in both hemilayers, but in the external one it is mostly condensed in lipid-ordered microdomains (raft domains), together with saturated ...

Ultrastructural localization of cell membrane G M1 ganglioside by cholera toxin [PDF]
An immunoelectron microscopic method is described for sensitive high-resolution visualization of tissuebound cholera toxin. The principle is to incubate cells or tissue sections with toxin and then to localize the bound toxin with toxin-specific peroxidase (donor:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase; EC 1.11.1.7)-conjugated antibody and enzyme

Effects of methylprednisolone and ganglioside GM-1 on a spinal lesion: a functional analysis [PDF]
OBJECTIVES: The pharmacological effects of methylprednisolone (MP) and ganglioside GM-1 on spinal injuries have been thoroughly investigated, but only a few studies have evaluated the interaction between these two drugs.

Osteopontin ablation ameliorates muscular dystrophy by shifting macrophages to a pro-regenerative phenotype. [PDF]
In the degenerative disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy, inflammatory cells enter muscles in response to repetitive muscle damage. Immune factors are required for muscle regeneration, but chronic inflammation creates a profibrotic milieu that exacerbates

Structural Insights into Rational Design of Single-Domain Antibody-Based Antitoxins against Botulinum Neurotoxins. [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT) is one of the most acutely lethal toxins known to humans, and effective treatment for BoNT intoxication is urgently needed. Single-domain antibodies (VHH) have been examined as a countermeasure for BoNT because of their high ...
