Comparative genomic analysis of the zebra finch degradome provides new insights into evolution of proteases in birds and mammals

BMC Genomics, 2010
Background The degradome -the complete repertoire of proteases in an organism- is involved in multiple key biological and pathological processes. Previous studies in several organisms have yielded sets of curated protease sequences which may be used to ...

Kininase I drives angiotensin II‐induced hypertension through activation of the bradykinin B1 receptor

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Kininase I, comprising carboxypeptidase N (CPN) and carboxypeptidase M, regulates kinin activity and is up‐regulated during injury, inflammation and immune activation. Under these conditions, kininase I converts bradykinin and kallidin into des‐Arg kinins, primary endogenous agonists of the bradykinin B1 receptor (R ...

T Helper 1 and T Helper 2 Cytokines Differentially Modulate Expression of Filaggrin and its Processing Proteases in Human Keratinocytes

Chinese Medical Journal, 2016
Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by defective skin barrier and imbalance in T helper 1/T helper 2 (Th1/Th2) cytokine expression. Filaggrin (FLG) is the key protein to maintaining skin barrier function. Recent studies indicated that Th1/

RNA-seq analysis of host and viral gene expression highlights interaction between varicella zoster virus and keratinocyte differentiation.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is the etiological agent of chickenpox and shingles, diseases characterized by epidermal skin blistering. Using a calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation model we investigated the interaction between epidermal ...

Saliva Liquid Biopsy for Detection of Oral and Systemic Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This Review summarizes and discusses the biological foundations and major classes of salivary biomarkers, outlines collection methods and analytical protocols for saliva‐based liquid biopsy, and technological convergences driven by multi‐omics approaches, artificial intelligence, and point‐of‐care devices in the application of oral and systemic ...

Evaluation of an ABO antibody immunoadsorption column for reduction of anti‐A and anti‐B isoagglutinin titers in group O platelet units

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Clinical guidelines recommend transfusing ABO‐identical platelets where possible. However, the short shelf life of platelets (5–7 days) and stock availability mean ABO‐nonidentical platelet transfusions are sometimes unavoidable. Minor ABO‐incompatible platelet transfusions carry a risk of hemolysis due to donor anti‐A/B antibodies,

Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 6, Page 1552-1569, November 2026.
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

Proteomic Pathways Linking Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Clusters to Cardiovascular Diseases: A Network Mendelian Randomisation Study

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 11, Page 10428-10438, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Genetic clusters related to Type 2 diabetes (T2D) have differential impact on cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), although the underlying mechanisms, such as proteomic perturbation, remain unexplored. We conducted a network Mendelian randomisation (MR) study to identify proteomic mediators linking T2D genetic clusters and CVDs.

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 19, Page 2917-2928, October 2026.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Assembly of Bioactive Superstructures via Metal–Phenolic Complexation for Blood Purification

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 40, 28 September 2026.
Bioactive superstructures are assembled via metal–phenolic‐mediated assembly on agarose templates, followed by modification with human serum albumin. These superstructures demonstrate high bilirubin adsorption efficiency, strong antibacterial activity, and anticoagulant activity, providing a strategy for the rational design of multifunctional blood ...
