Nanoparticle‐Based Bioaffinity Assays: From the Research Laboratory to the Market
This review critically discusses advances in nanoparticle‐based labels (yellow) combined with biorecognition elements (green) and suitable readout schemes for the design of new bioaffinity assays. The route of nanoparticle‐based assays from the bench to real sample analysis and commercialization follows a rugged path winding between many challenges and

Allosteric inhibition of Aurora-A kinase by a synthetic vNAR domain
The vast majority of clinically-approved protein kinase inhibitors target the ATP binding pocket directly. Consequently, many inhibitors have broad selectivity profiles and most have significant off-target effects.

Targeting the hepatitis B virus precore antigen with a novel IgNAR single variable domain intrabody
The Hepatitis B virus precore protein is processed in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) into secreted hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), which acts as an immune tolerogen to establish chronic infection. Downregulation of secreted HBeAg should improve clinical outcome, as patients who effectively respond to current treatments (IFN-α) have significantly lower ...

Fatty acid 16:4(n-3) stimulates a GPR120-induced signaling cascade in splenic macrophages to promote chemotherapy resistance [PDF]
Although chemotherapy is designed to eradicate tumor cells, it also has significant effects on normal tissues. The platinum-induced fatty acid 16:4(n-3) (hexadeca-4,7,10,13-tetraenoic acid) induces systemic resistance to a broad range of DNA-damaging ...

Atypical Antigen Recognition Mode of a Shark Immunoglobulin New Antigen Receptor (IgNAR) Variable Domain Characterized by Humanization and Structural Analysis [PDF]
The immunoglobulin new antigen receptors (IgNARs) are a class of Ig-like molecules of the shark immune system that exist as heavy chain-only homodimers and bind antigens by their single domain variable regions (V-NARs). Following shark immunization and/or in vitro selection, V-NARs can be generated as soluble, stable, and specific high affinity ...

Molecular mechanisms of cross-talk between growth factors and nuclear receptor signaling [PDF]
Signaling pathways can be linear, but more complex patterns are common. Growth factors and many other extracellular signals cannot directly enter cells and transduce their information via membrane-bound receptors.

Systemic availability and metabolism of colonic-derived short-chain fatty acids in healthy subjects: a stable isotope study [PDF]
The short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), acetate, propionate and butyrate, are bacterial metabolites that mediate the interaction between the diet, the microbiota and the host.
