Blood‐based proteomic profiling reveals context‐dependent changes in BCL2‐associated signaling during taxane therapy in breast cancer patients

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy side effects significantly impact cancer survivors' quality of life. Using protein levels in blood samples from breast cancer patients before and after 12 weeks of taxane treatment, we detected treatment‐dependent changes in calcium signaling and aging pathways associated with cancer recurrence.

Ascending aortic dilation and aortic regurgitation — a neglected problem among single-ventricle patients after Fontan palliation

Cardiology Journal
BACKGROUND: The Fontan procedure revolutionized the management of univentricular heart physiology but is associated with long-term complications. Although pulmonary vascular disease, atrioventricular valve regurgitation, and ventricular dysfunction are ...

Refinement of amino‐acid conformation vs. difference density maps in time‐resolved serial femtosecond crystallography data analysis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The dFoCC pipeline starts with observed DED and resting‐state coordinates, which are then used to generate a library of triggered states. Correlation analysis of the calculated DED features of each candidate vs observed DED permits quantitative evaluation of candidate structural quality.

Transcatheter closure of patent ductus arteriosus in infants weighing less than 6 kilograms – a two-center experience. Technical considerations

Cardiology Journal
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter closure has become the method of choice for treating patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in a majority of patients. The only approved device for treating infants weighing less than 6 kilograms is the Amplatzer Piccolo Occluder (APO).

Quality of life in children with infrequent congenital heart defects: cohort study with one-year of follow-up

Health and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2020
Background The evidence regarding patient related outcomes in children with infrequent congenital heart defects (I-CHD) is very limited. We sought to measure quality of life (QoL) in children with I-CHD, and secondarily, to describe QoL changes after one-

A yeast model of 5‐oxoproline accumulation reveals a general toleration to 5‐oxoproline

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Using a yeast model, we show that even high accumulation of 5‐oxoproline causes only mild cellular stress and does not trigger oxidative stress. Instead, cells adapt by activating efflux pumps and diverse protective pathways, suggesting that previously proposed harmful effects of 5‐oxoproline may arise from indirect metabolic imbalances rather than the

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Optical genome mapping uncovers clinically relevant structural variants in congenital heart disease with heterotaxy

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionThe genetic factors underlying congenital heart disease and heterotaxy (CHD/HTX) are complex, including copy number variants, loss-of-function mutations, and missense variants, many of which can be detected by high-throughput sequencing.

Prenatally Diagnosed Isolated Coronary Arterial Fistula Leading to Severe Complications at Birth

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2018
Prenatal diagnosis of a huge coronary artery fistula between the left coronary artery and the right ventricle was made by Doppler echocardiography at 22 weeks of gestation. Progression of the dilated fistula was monitored throughout pregnancy.
