Enhancing the treatment potential of IL-17 antagonism in lupus nephritis: finding the right partner
Frontiers in ImmunologyThe treatment of lupus nephritis (LN) has been benefiting from biologics targeting immune cells and cytokines. IL-17 antagonists have been investigated for their potential in LN treatment, with mixed results from case reports and randomized controlled ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Drosophila park mutants serve as a model for Parkinson's disease. We used this strain to investigate the connection between oxidative stress and the circadian clock mechanism. We showed that increased oxidative stress affects the physiology of pacemaker cells, disrupting their daily structural plasticity. Lack of rhythmic signaling from pacemaker cells

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Frontiers in ImmunologyIntroductionSeveral studies have reported an up-regulation of interleukin (IL)-36 in the serum of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Here, we sought to define the mechanisms whereby IL-36 may contribute to the over-activation of type I ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

The role of interleukin-36 in inflammatory skin diseases [PDF]
, 2017 Interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines are new members of the IL-1 family, that include proinflammatory factors, IL-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ, and a natural receptor antagonist IL-36Ra.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.
