Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Conductivity and Electrochemical Studies on Polymer Electrolytes Based on Poly Vinyl (chloride) - Ammonium Triflate-Ionic Liquid for Proton Battery

International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013
Solid polymer electrolyte films of poly (vinyl) chloride (PVC) with ammonium trifluoromethane sulfonate (NH4CF3SO3) and ionic liquid, butyltrimethyl ammonium bis (trifluoromethyl sulfonyl) imide (BATS) as plasticizer have been prepared by solution-cast ...

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Effect of Nano-sized Al2O3 Addition on the Sintering Density of Garnet-type Solid Electrolytes

Electrochemistry
Garnet-like oxide lithium ionic conductor Li7La3Zr2O12 (LLZO) exhibits relatively high ionic conductivity and electrochemical stability against lithium metals, attracting much attention as a solid electrolyte for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries ...

Transport of External Lithium Along Phase Boundary in LiF-Ti Nanocomposite Thin Films

Acta Chimica Slovenica, 2016
The electronic and ionic conductivity of the LiF-Ti nanocomposite films prepared by the co-sputtering have been investigated by the methods of impedance spectrum (IS), current-voltage curves (IV) and isothermal transient ionic current (ITIC) measurements.

Treatment with KCL‐286, a first‐in‐class retinoic acid receptor‐β (RARβ) agonist, ameliorates neuronal DNA damage and inflammation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Repair of neuronal DNA damage in Alzheimer's disease by KCL‐286. (A) Amyloid‐β oligomers and plaques impair neuronal DNA repair pathways, leading to DNA double‐strand breaks and glial activation. (B) KCL‐286 activates RARβ/RXR signalling via retinoic acid response elements (RAREs), associated with increased BRCA1 expression, enhanced DNA repair and ...

Pair distribution function analysis of sulfide glassy electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries: Understanding the improvement of ionic conductivity under annealing condition

Scientific Reports, 2017
In general, the ionic conductivity of sulfide glasses decreases with their crystallization, although it increases for a few sulphide glasses owing to the crystallization of a highly conductive new phase (e.g., Li7P3S11: 70Li2S-30P2S5).

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

A new flow chip in combination with multiphoton microscopy as a protocol for longitudinal 3D imaging of tissue calcification under shear stress

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Miniaturized flow chip platform enabling continuous perfusion and longitudinal multiphoton 3D imaging of vascular smooth muscle cell constructs under physiological flow. Brightfield imaging guides region selection, while CellTracker Green and mRuby‐labeled fetuin‐A visualize cells and mineral deposition, respectively. Magnesium supplementation markedly

Constant-Current Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics Approach for Accelerated Computation of Ionic Conductivity Including Ion-Ion Correlation

PRX Energy
Calculation of ionic conductivity including ion-ion correlation effects using equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) is computationally demanding, but the correlation is significant in many promising electrolytes such as solid electrolytes. Herein, we have
