Immunological mechanisms and immunoregulatory strategies in intervertebral disc degeneration [PDF]
Intervertebral discs are avascular and maintain immune privilege. However, during intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD), this barrier is disrupted, leading to extensive immune cell infiltration and localized inflammation. In degenerated discs, macrophages, T lymphocytes, neutrophils, and granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (G-MDSCs) are key ...

From atomic to global connectivity in the structure of the SARS-CoV2-Human ACE2 receptor complex [PDF]
We investigate connectivity properties of the SARS-CoV2 spike protein-human ACE2-receptor complex employing a protein side chain-based network method that allows us to span a range from atomic to global protein scales. We analyze network topology in terms of clusters and cliques obtained from averaging over snapshots of MD simulations (from D.E.

Mitosis, Cytoskeleton Regulation, and Drug Resistance in Receptor Triple Negative Breast Cancer [PDF]
During cell division, the receptor triple-negative MDA-MB-231 mitotic spindles are the largest in comparison to other BC cell lines. Many of the MDA-MB-231 spindles exhibit rapid lateral twisting during metaphase, which remains unaffected by knockdown of the oncogene Myc and treatment with inhibitors of the serine/threonine-protein kinase B-Raf and the
