Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

QS21-Initiated Fusion of Liposomal Small Unilamellar Vesicles to Form ALFQ Results in Concentration of Most of the Monophosphoryl Lipid A, QS21, and Cholesterol in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles

Pharmaceutics, 2023
Army Liposome Formulation with QS21 (ALFQ), a vaccine adjuvant preparation, comprises liposomes containing saturated phospholipids, with 55 mol% cholesterol relative to the phospholipids, and two adjuvants, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and QS21 saponin.

Uniform Microscale Thermoresponsive Liposomes for Controlled Release Above Body Temperature

Small, EarlyView.
Uniform thermoresponsive liposomes are generated using a scalable double‐emulsion microfluidic approach coupled with accelerated solvent extraction. The resulting liposomes remain stable at physiological temperature but undergo abrupt rupture and cargo release at 41°C–45°C, providing a versatile platform for thermally triggered controlled release in ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Shape transitions of giant liposomes induced by an anisotropic spontaneous curvature [PDF]

Physical Review E, 2000
We explore how a magnetic field breaks the symmetry of an initially spherical giant liposome filled with a magnetic colloid. The condition of rotational symmetry along the field axis leads either to a prolate or to an oblate ellipsoid. We demonstrate that an electrostatic interaction between the nanoparticles and the membrane triggers the shape ...

Reduced colony‐stimulating factor 1 receptor expression in myeloid cells has limited impact on chronic lymphocytic leukaemia progression

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Targeting the colony‐stimulating factor 1 receptor (CSF1R) to remove tumour‐associated macrophages is being explored as cancer therapy. This strategy may be relevant for chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), which strongly depends on support from myeloid cells.

On-Chip Inverted Emulsion Method for Fast Giant Vesicle Production, Handling, and Analysis

Micromachines, 2020
Liposomes and giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) in particular are excellent compartments for constructing artificial cells. Traditionally, their use requires bench-top vesicle growth, followed by experimentation under a microscope.

Cryo‐EM structures of multiple‐peptide resistance factor (MprF) from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cryo‐EM analysis of MprF from Pseudomonas aeruginosa reveals a dimeric enzyme, distinct from Rhizobium homologues. The soluble GNAT domain contains a dynamic amphipathic helix (TTH) that adopts different positions in detergent micelle and nanodisc, relative to the membrane.

Efficacy Assessment of Montanide GEL 02 PR and Liposome‐Based Encapsulation as Adjuvants for an FrpA Subunit Vaccine Against Photobacteriosis in Solea senegalensis

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Photobacteriosis is a major threat to marine aquaculture, and the siderophore transporter FrpA represents a promising target for effective subunit vaccine development. In this study, we evaluated Montanide GEL 02 PR and phosphatidylcholine‐based liposomes as aqueous and safer alternatives to Freund's adjuvant for an FrpA‐based subunit vaccine ...
