On the Border of the Amyloidogenic Sequences: Prefix Analysis of the Parallel Beta Sheets in the PDB\_Amyloid Collection [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The Protein Data Bank (PDB) today contains more than 153,000 entries with the 3-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules. Using the rich resources of this repository, it is possible identifying subsets with specific, interesting properties for different applications.

Blood ties: ABO is a trans-species polymorphism in primates [PDF]
, 2012 The ABO histo-blood group, the critical determinant of transfusion incompatibility, was the first genetic polymorphism discovered in humans. Remarkably, ABO antigens are also polymorphic in many other primates, with the same two amino acid changes responsible for A and B specificity in all species sequenced to date.

Inorganic Nanomaterials Meet the Immune System: An Intricate Balance
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Metal nanomaterials influence the immune responses, such as cytokine production and T‐cell activity. Unintended immune modulation can have significant consequences while its fine‐tuning may transform the oncology care. Within this review, a critical analysis is offered regarding the nano/immune‐interaction and suggests the future research directions to

A genome-wide survey of genetic variation in gorillas using reduced representation sequencing [PDF]
, 2013 All non-human great apes are endangered in the wild, and it is therefore important to gain an understanding of their demography and genetic diversity. To date, however, genetic studies within these species have largely been confined to mitochondrial DNA and a small number of other loci.

Interpreting BERT architecture predictions for peptide presentation by MHC class I proteins [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class-I pathway supports the detection of cancer and viruses by the immune system. It presents parts of proteins (peptides) from inside a cell on its membrane surface enabling visiting immune cells that detect non-self peptides to terminate the cell.

Engineering CAR‐T Therapeutics for Enhanced Solid Tumor Targeting
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.CART cell therapy has proven effective for blood cancers but struggles with solid tumors due to diverse antigens and complex environments. Recent efforts focus on improving CAR design and validation platforms. Advances in protein engineering, machine learning, and organoid systems aim to enhance CAR‐T therapy against solid tumors.

Cancer Communications, Volume 42, Issue 12, Page 1257-1287, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats‐associated protein (CRISPR/Cas9), an adaptive microbial immune system, has been exploited as a robust, accurate, efficient and programmable method for genome targeting and editing. This innovative and revolutionary technique can play a significant role in animal modeling, in vivo genome

What cleaves? Is proteasomal cleavage prediction reaching a ceiling? [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Epitope vaccines are a promising direction to enable precision treatment for cancer, autoimmune diseases, and allergies. Effectively designing such vaccines requires accurate prediction of proteasomal cleavage in order to ensure that the epitopes in the vaccine are presented to T cells by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

Off‐The‐Shelf Multivalent Nanoconjugate Cancer Vaccine Rescues Host Immune Response against Melanoma
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A star‐shaped cross‐linked polyglutamate (StCl) nanocarrier delivers melanoma‐associated peptide antigens via redox‐responsive linkers, inducing lymph node‐targeted antigen presentation. The nanoconjugate activates dendritic cells, promotes effector T‐cell responses, and enables tumor regression even in humanized patient‐derived preclinical models ...
