Increasing Temperature and Relative Humidity Accelerates Inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 on Surfaces

mSphere, 2020
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in China in late 2019 and is caused by newly identified severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Previous studies had reported the stability of SARS-CoV-2 in cell culture media

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Toxicity, Half-Life and Antitumor Activity of Phenyl 4-(2-Oxo-3-alkylimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates as Novel Antimitotic CYP1A1-Targeted Prodrugs in Female Mouse Models

Pharmaceutics
Background/Objectives: Chemoresistance of breast cancers (BCs) is a major impediment to current chemotherapeutics that urges the development of new drugs and new therapeutic approaches.

Measuring the Pharmacokinetic Properties of Drugs with a Novel Surgical Rat Model

Journal of Investigative Surgery, 2017
Purpose/aim of the study: The pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters in animal models can help optimize novel candidate drugs prior to human trials. However, due to the complexity of pharmacokinetic experiments, their use is limited in academia.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

Bioavailability and remineralization rates of sediment-derived dissolved organic carbon from a Baltic Sea depositional area

Frontiers in Marine Science
This pilot study investigated the bioavailability and remineralization kinetics of the sediment-derived dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the Gdańsk Deep, a depositional area in the Baltic Sea.

Electron transfer between complexes III and IV in S. cerevisiae mitochondrial membranes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation in S. cerevisiae mitoplasts is limited by complex IV catalytic capacity, rather than two‐dimensional cytochrome c diffusion. At physiological cytochrome c : supercomplex ratios at salinity equivalent to that of 20 mm monovalent salt, activity is maximized, indicating that this low ionic strength accurately mimics

The retinoblastoma protein contributes to maintaining the stability of HPV E7 in cervical cancer cells

Journal of Virology
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HR HPV)-16 and -18, and other closely related subtypes, are associated with at least 90% of human cervical cancers.

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.
