The Survival Rate of Zirconia Versus Titanium Dental Implants: A Systematic Review

open access: yesSurgeries
Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to compare the survival rates of zirconia and titanium dental implants, by evaluating the most recent scientific evidence, in order to comprehend the behaviour of zirconia implants as an alternative to ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Cochlear implants and brain stem implants [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Medical Bulletin, 2002
This chapter describes the development of two implantable prosthetic neurostimulators which, in the last 20 years, have revolutionised the management of severe-to-profound sensorineural deafness. We have witnessed their rapid evolution from the realms of esoteric laboratory abstraction, with many critics and little perceived clinical use, to a routine ...

The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Low-Grade Myofibroblastic Sarcoma in the Oral Cavity: Case Report and Clinical Insights

open access: yesOral
Background/Objectives: Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma is a rare malignant myofibroblastic tumor, first described by Gabbiani et al. in 1971. It predominantly affects adult males and is uncommon in children.
