MORITS: An improved method to predict peptides from heterologous proteins that are recognized by the same T-cell receptor

Scientific Reports
Antigen-specific priming of T cells results in the activation of T cells that exert effector functions by interaction of their T-cell receptor (TCR) with the corresponding self-MHC molecule presenting a peptide on the surface of a target cell.

Studies on heterologous immunity in schistosomiasis. 7. Observations on the development of acquired homologous and heterologous immunity to Schistosoma mansoni in baboons.

Bulletin of the World Health Organization, 1974
Observations were made on the development of immunity to Schistosoma mansoni in baboons using both homologous and heterologous systems. The baboons were immunized by either (a) a single exposure to cercariae of the homologous species S. mansoni, or (b) 1-2 exposures to cercariae of either a S. rodhaini/S. mansoni hybrid or a S. mattheei/S.

Exploring the Development of Vaccine Platforms, With a Particular Focus on the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vaccines have been a cornerstone of human health for more than 200 years and one of the most important tools to reduce childhood deaths caused by pathogens. The concept of vaccines is basically to take something safe, make it immunogenic and induce an immune response in the host that will protect it against something dangerous. Live attenuated

Neuronal and ion channel mechanisms of noxious heat sensing in mammals: A puzzle of sensory physiology and pharmacology

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.

The ongoing oleoylethanolamide story: Therapeutic implications in the control of obesity and its comorbidities

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
The global burden of obesity continues to rise, demanding effective pharmacological strategies for individuals in whom prevention alone is insufficient. Recent incretin‐based and multi‐agonist therapies have delivered unprecedented weight loss, demonstrating that the simultaneous modulation of multiple metabolic pathways can optimize body weight ...

Selective excitatory effects of γ‐glutamyl‐glycine, a glutathione metabolite, on GluN1 NMDA and mGlu5 receptors impacting synaptic plasticity

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Gamma‐glutamyl dipeptides are essentially produced after glutathione (GSH) degradation. While several γ‐glutamyl dipeptides have been detected in different organs and body fluids, their biological activity remains elusive. This is the case for γ‐Glutamyl‐Glycine (γ‐Glu‐Gly) which has been found in different brain areas.

Natural product‐derived TRPM7 channel inhibitors in neurological injury: Mechanisms, pharmacological potential and translational challenges

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Disruption of intracellular ionic homeostasis is a convergent pathological feature across diverse neurological injuries and disorders, including ischaemic and haemorrhagic stroke, hypoxic–ischaemic brain injury, traumatic brain injury, epilepsy and brain tumour.

Evidence That the Protein Phosphatase Activity of PTEN Contributes to Embryonic Development and Tumor Suppression

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Mice expressing only mutant PTEN Y138L, a protein which shows normal suppression of cellular AKT yet lacks protein phosphatase activity, die in utero, and heterozygous mice display a range of tumors. This indicates both the lipid and protein phosphatase activities of PTEN work together for normal tumor suppression and embryonic development.

Methyl 4‐O‐Demethylbarbatate Destabilises HIF‐1α and Enhances Temozolomide Sensitivity in Glioma Cells

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The lichen‐derived metabolite methyl 4‐O‐demethylbarbatate (Me‐4‐O‐DBA) suppresses glioma stemness, motility, and metabolic plasticity through inhibition of HIF‐1α signaling and synergistically enhances temozolomide activity, highlighting a potential strategy to target stemness‐driven therapeutic resistance in glioma.
