Adhesion of Immunoglobulins to Band3 Promotes Increased Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Multiple Myeloma

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Decreased sialic acid increases the adhesion of RBC membranes to immunoglobulins leading to an increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). The increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) damages the sialic acid glycosyl chains on the surface of RBC membrane proteins, causing the membrane proteins to be overexposed to the plasma environment due to the

A guide to the types, structures, and multifaceted functions of matrix metalloproteinases in cancer

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) orchestrate cancer progression and metastasis through proteolytic and non‐proteolytic actions. By remodeling the tumor microenvironment, enhancing growth factor availability, and modulating cell behavior, MMPs promote proliferation, migration or invasion, and epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition. Alongside extracellular

THE LEVEL OF IMMUNOGLOBULINS IN THE ORAL FLUID OF PATIENTS WITH SECRETORY IMMUNOGLOBULIN A DEFICIENCY AND GENERALIZED PERIODONTITIS

Український стоматологічний альманах
One of the major challenges in dentistry is generalized periodontitis (GP). Periodontitis is characterized by the destruction of connective tissue, loss of periodontal attachment, and resorption of alveolar bone.

The fc fragment of IgMs binds C1q to activate the first step of the classical complement pathway, while inhibiting complement‐dependent cytotoxicity

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Multimeric IgM‐fragment crystallizable region (Fc) fragments retain the ability to bind C1q and initiate the classical complement pathway, leading to C4 activation and deposition in vitro. However, the Fc cores can also inhibit complement‐dependent cytotoxicity by competing with surface‐bound antibodies for C1q engagement.

Plant‐produced encapsulin displays non‐typhoidal Salmonella enterica antigens and assembles into mosaic nanoparticles

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This study investigates the potential of encapsulin as an antigen display platform for the development of a candidate Salmonella vaccine for poultry. Encapsulin constructs were transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana where they accumulated to high levels.

Salivary assessment of the immune/inflammatory responses and oxidative stress in older adults vaccinated with CoronaVac or ChadOx-1

BMC Geriatrics
Background Although important information concerning COVID-19 vaccination is available, the effects of the CoronaVac and ChadOx-1 vaccines on immunity and the redox balance in the upper airway mucosa of the aged population are not fully understood ...

ER proteostasis meets mitochondrial function: contact sites as hubs of communication and therapeutic targets

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Proteostasis ensures proper protein folding, modification, and degradation, while its impairment triggers ER stress. Chronic ER stress and maladaptive UPR via the CHOP–ERO1 axis remodel ERMCs, altering calcium signaling and mitochondrial metabolism.

Sex Differences in Health‐Related Quality of Life in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Prospective Study

International Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To analyse sex differences in health‐related quality of life (HRQL) before, during and up to 3 months posttreatment of head and neck cancer, and to examine the importance of salivary secretion rate for HRQL posttreatment. Methods Patients were recruited before starting curative oncologic treatment.

Treg cells retain stable lineage commitment during pregnancy in mice after late gestation inflammatory challenge

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
In this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.
