Exploring lipid diversity and minimalism to define membrane requirements for synthetic cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Designing the lipid membrane of synthetic cells is a complex task, in which its various roles (among them solute transport, membrane protein support, and self‐replication) should all be integrated. In this review, we report the latest top‐down and bottom‐up advances and discuss compatibility and complexity issues of current engineering approaches ...

RAD50 missense variants differentially affect the DNA damage response and mitotic progression

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
RAD50 incorporates into the MRN complex and initiates the DNA damage response. Furthermore, RAD50 promotes mitotic progression. RAD50 missense variants capable of forming an MRN complex supported the DNA damage response and mitotic features to different extents in complementation experiments, indicating these functions are separable and might impact ...

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Conservative management of giant retroperitoneal hematoma after cesarean section in severe preeclampsia: a rare case report

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
Background Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma (RPH) after cesarean section is an extremely rare disease with various causes, which can lead to unexplained maternal shock and death. Because cases of RPH are extremely rare in obstetric settings, there is

Expression characteristics, prognostic value, and immune-related analysis of PPP2R1A in lung adenocarcinoma

Frontiers in Immunology
IntroductionLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a major subtype of lung cancer with poor prognosis. The protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit A alpha (PPP2R1A) plays complex roles in tumorigenesis, but its function and clinical significance in LUAD remain ...

Genetic testing in the classroom [PDF]

BMJ, 1995
EDITOR,--Recent advances in molecular genetics permit simple genetic testing; this has raised the possibility that suchtesting may be used to show genetic techniques as part of medical education. Indeed, in a biochemistry class in one medi l school first year medical students have undergone collective testing for the most common genetic defect causing ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase in malaria parasites and enhances atovaquone efficacy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...

Mainstream germline genetic testing in men with metastatic prostate cancer: design and protocol for a multicenter observational study

BMC Cancer, 2022
Background In international guidelines, germline genetic testing is recommended for patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Before undergoing germline genetic testing, these patients should receive pre-test counseling.
