Diversity against adversity: How adaptive immunity evolves potent antibodies [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 How does immune system evolve functional proteins - potent antibodies - in such a short time? We address this question using a microscopic, protein-level, sequence-based model of humoral immune response with explicitly defined interactions between Immunoglobulins, host and pathogen proteins.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The MoSMAR‐chip platform provides a high‐throughput and cost‐effective tool for identifying and characterizing antigen‐specific antibody‐secreting cells (ASCs) and memory B cells (MBCs) at the single‐cell level. The ASCs from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine‐immunized mice were successfully analyzed, revealing diverse neutralizing antibodies

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

Crowding-Regulated Binding of Divalent Biomolecules [PDF]
Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 258401 (2023)Macromolecular crowding affects biophysical processes as diverse as diffusion, gene expression, cell growth, and senescence. Yet, there is no comprehensive understanding of how crowding affects reactions, particularly multivalent binding. Herein, we use scaled particle theory and develop a molecular simulation method to investigate the binding of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Enhancer eccANKRD28‐manipulated MM cells have been demonstrated to facilitate drug resistance and promote MM progression by activating the key transcription factor, POU2F2. POU2F2 interacts with sequence‐specific eccANKRD28 as well as RUNX1 and RUNX2 motifs to form the protein complex, which activates the promoter of oncogenes (IRF4, JUNB, IKZF3, et al.

A Low-temperature 1H NMR Study of H2O and D2O Associated Competitively with Immunoglobulin G in Solution [PDF]
arXiv, 2007 An approach has been proposed to characterize the competitive association of D2O and to study the heterogeneity of hydration water adsorbed by the protein, immunoglobulin G, using methodology for determining of non-freezing water in mixed H2O-D2O protein solutions by low-temperature 1H NMR technique. Direct data on the numbers of deuteriums adsorbed by

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Baicalin alleviates E. coli‐induced intestinal inflammation through dual mechanisms: direct inhibition of the TLR4/IRF/STAT signaling pathway to modulate macrophage polarization and antigen presentation, thereby regulating Th17/Treg cell differentiation; and microbiota‐mediated indirect effects via increasing Lactobacillus amylovorus abundance and ...

Hematological Oncology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 864-875, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The role of macrophages (Mo) and their prognostic impact in diffuse large B‐cell lymphomas (DLBCL) remain controversial. By regulating the lipid metabolism, Liver‐X‐Receptors (LXRs) control Mo polarization/inflammatory response, and their pharmacological modulation is under clinical investigation to treat human cancers, including lymphomas ...

Attractors in residual interactions explain the differentially-conserved stability of Immunoglobulins [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Proteins belonging to immunoglobulin superfamily(IgSF) show remarkably conserved nature both in their folded structure and in their folding process, but they neither originate from very similar sequences nor demonstrate functional conservation. Treating proteins as fractal objects, without studying spatial conservation in positioning of particular ...
