Instant determination of the potential biomarker heparan sulfate in human plasma by a mix-and-read fluorescence assay [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a linear, polydisperse sulfated polysaccharide belonging to the glycosaminoglycan family. HS proteoglycans are ubiquitously found at the cell surface and extracellular matrix in animal species. HS is involved in the interaction with a wide variety of proteins and the regulation of many biological activities.

Precision‐Guided Stealth Missiles in Biomedicine: Biological Carrier‐Mediated Nanomedicine Hitchhiking Strategy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Diagram illustrating the binding methods of NPs and biological barriers. The biological carrier‐mediated nanomedicine hitchhiking strategy (BCM‐NHS) utilizes two distinct techniques: the surface‐based “Backpack” method, which relies on ligand‐receptor binding, covalent conjugation, and non‐covalent binding, and the encapsulated “Trojan horse” approach,

A severity‐based tumor‐superior mesenteric/portal vein interface grading criteria as a predictor of survival outcomes in pancreatic head ductal adenocarcinoma patients undergoing pancreaticoduodenectomy following neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
PDAC patients with the radiological severe interface (≥25 contact length and ≥210 degrees circumferential tumor‐SMV/PV interface) may help predict poor survival outcomes preoperatively. Abstract Aim To assess the ability of a new severity‐based tumor‐superior mesenteric/portal vein interface criteria to predict survival outcomes in pancreatic ductal ...

Local vs. long-range infection in unidimensional epidemics [PDF]

arXiv, 2019
We study the effects of local and distance interactions in the unidimensional contact process (CP). In the model, each site of a lattice is occupied by an individual, which can be healthy or infected. As in the standard CP, each infected individual spreads the disease to one of its first-neighbors with rate $\lambda$, and with unitary rate, it becomes ...

CRISPR applications for Duchenne muscular dystrophy: From animal models to potential therapies

WIREs Mechanisms of Disease, Volume 15, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
CRISPR‐Cas9 gene‐editing technology enables the rapid generation of animal models for Duchenne muscular dystrophy research and has potential to be developed as CRISPR therapy for the long lasting genetic correction of causal mutations. Abstract CRISPR gene‐editing technology creates precise and permanent modifications to DNA.

Toll-Like Receptor Stimulation by MicroRNAs in Acute Graft-vs.-Host Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Acute graft-vs.-host disease (aGVHD) is a frequent complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), accounting for substantial morbidity and mortality associated with this treatment modality.

Gut Microbiome Pilot Study of Patients With CHARGE Syndrome and Sibling Controls

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Difficulties with feeding and digestion are common in individuals with CHARGE syndrome. Animal models with CHD7 gene variants demonstrate abnormal gut innovation and dysmotility. Our pilot study evaluated whether individuals with CHARGE syndrome have differences in their gut microbiome compared to unaffected siblings.

The IL-12 Cytokine and Receptor Family in Graft-vs.-Host Disease

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is performed with curative intent for high- risk blood cancers and bone marrow failure syndromes; yet the development of acute and chronic graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD) remain preeminent causes of ...

Bipartite Graft I: Dulmage-Mendelsohn Decomposition for Combs [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
We provide an analogue of the Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition for a class of grafts known as comb-bipartite grafts. The Dulmage-Mendelsohn decomposition in matching theory is a classical canonical structure theorem for bipartite graphs. The substantial part of this classical theorem resides in bipartite graphs that are factorizable, that is, those ...
