Biomedical research and vulnerability: a study on responsibility of health professionals in research involving human beings

open access: yesO Mundo da Saúde, 2014
The present article is the result of a bibliographical survey that seeks to present, by using a methodology based on the hypothetical-deductive method, to present a reflection on the biotechnological advances taking in consideration the vulnerability of ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Visual Interface Evaluation for Wearables Datasets: Predicting the Subjective Augmented Vision Image QoE and QoS

open access: yesFuture Internet, 2017
As Augmented Reality (AR) applications become commonplace, the determination of a device operator’s subjective Quality of Experience (QoE) in addition to objective Quality of Service (QoS) metrics gains importance. Human subject experimentation is common

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

BEHAVIOR OF HUMAN‐IMPRINTED AND HEN‐REARED WILD TURKEY POULTS

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 1975
Behavior patterns are described for human‐imprinted and hen‐reared wild turkey poults (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) from hatching until 4 months of age. Poults fed primarily on insects during the first 5 weeks of life.

Combining Mathematical Models With Experimentation to Drive Novel Mechanistic Insights Into Macrophage Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2019
This perspective outlines an approach to improve mechanistic understanding of macrophages in inflammation and tissue homeostasis, with a focus on human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Informed consent in experimentation involving mentally impaired persons: ethical issues

open access: yesAnnali dell'Istituto Superiore di Sanità, 2010
The problem of experimentation involving subjects whose mental condition prevents them from understanding information and providing proper informed consent has been addressed in various codes, declarations, conventions, treaties and regulations adopted ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.
