IL-1β and IL-8 secretion in 16HBE cells.
Cells in mono- (MO) or co-culture (CO) were incubated for 18h with either liposomes (LIPO), virosomes (VIRO) or controls (PBS, as shown). Supernatants were collected to perform IL-1β and IL-8 ELISA.

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

Double-walled carbon nanotubes trigger IL-1β release in human monocytes through Nlrp3 inflammasome activation [PDF]
Because of their outstanding physical properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are promising new materials in the field of nanotechnology. It is therefore imperative to assess their adverse effects on human health.

IL-1β mRNA expression is elevated in HG mixed glia.
The mRNA levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF α in NG and HG mixed glia cultures were quantified by real-time RT PCR. NG, 5.5 mM glucose-containing media; HG, 25 mM glucose-containing media. Data is expressed as mean ± SEM.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
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+.

Lesió i protecció de les cèl·lules beta en el trasplantament d'illots pancreàtics [PDF]
[cat] El trasplantament d'illots pancreàtics pot ser una bona teràpia per els malalts amb diabetis mellitus de tipus 1, però hi ha alguns problemes que cal solventar abans que sigui un tractament estès.

IL-1β induced a decrease in TER values.
In cells treated with 10% FBS (open circles) and 2% FBS in the presence (closed circles) or absence (closed squares) of IL-1β (50 pM) for the indicated time periods, the barrier properties were monitored by measuring TER.

Octacalcium phosphate crystals directly stimulate expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through p38 and JNK mitogen-activated protein kinases in articular chondrocytes [PDF]
Basic calcium phosphate (BCP) crystals, including hydroxyapatite, octacalcium phosphate (OCP) and carbonate-apatite, have been associated with severe osteoarthritis and several degenerative arthropathies.

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