Solid state NMR spectroscopy on fibrils of recombinant, pyroglutamylated [U‐13C,15N]‐ pEAβ(3‐42) show highly similar β‐strand positions and a conserved turn region around V24 comparable to LS‐shaped Aβ(1‐42) fibrils. Due to missing D1‐A2 and pE3 formation a salt bridge of K28‐D1' is absent in pEAβ(3‐42) fibrils.

Increased QPCT gene expression by the hepatitis B virus promotes HBV replication.
Glutamine cyclase, an enzyme involved in posttranslational modifications, is encoded by the glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase (QPCT) gene. Gene microarray analysis revealed that the QPCT gene was highly expressed in HepG2.2.15 cells compared with that ...

Baricitinib and tofacitinib off‐target profile, with a focus on Alzheimer's disease
Abstract INTRODUCTION Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors were recently identified as promising drug candidates for repurposing in Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to their capacity to suppress inflammation via modulation of JAK/STAT signaling pathways. Besides interaction with primary therapeutic targets, JAK inhibitor drugs frequently interact with unintended,
