Modulation of tear lipocalin by phosphodiesterase inhibitors and steroid hormones

, 2001
This project focussed on a protein called tear lipocalin that is believed to interact with the lipid layer of the tears and to promote tear film stability. By modulating this protein, it was proposed that tear film stability could be increased, hence the

DAMPs, PAMPs, and Alarmins: From Mechanism to Therapy

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This review synthesizes the expanding biology of PAMPs and DAMPs, from their molecular sources and sensing mechanisms to regulatory networks that govern inflammation and homeostasis. Spanning from classical immune activation to trained immunity and interorgan communication, we highlight the interplay between PAMPs and DAMPs and their context‐dependent ...

RNA‐Binding Proteins: Function, Biological Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) regulate RNA stability, localization, translation, and splicing through intrinsic binding domains and interactions with diverse cellular partners. Their competitive and cooperative networks shape disease‐related RNA programs, especially in cancer.

Soluble protein analog selection engine (SPASE): An automated AI‐powered server to improve protein engineering workflows

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The design of proteins with desired biophysical properties, such as high solubility and low aggregation propensity, is crucial for various biotechnological and biomedical applications. While deep learning‐based methods like ProteinMPNN have shown remarkable success in protein sequence design, their direct output may not always exhibit optimal ...

Systemic impact of intramuscular snake envenomation and intravenous immunoglobulin‐based antivenom treatment on murine plasma proteome and peptidome

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Snake envenomation remains a critical global public health challenge. In Brazil, the genus Bothrops is responsible for most accidents, typically resulting in coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and renal failure. Despite its clinical prevalence, the molecular mechanisms driving plasma protein disturbances remain poorly understood.

Edible Insect Allergens: An Emerging Food Safety Challenge

Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2026.
Allergic responses to edible insects arise via two main pathways: cross‐reactivity with homologous arthropod allergens and primary sensitization to edible insect proteins, both leading to IgE‐mediated immune activation. ABSTRACT Edible insects are increasingly promoted as sustainable protein sources; however, their allergenic potential remains a ...

A phylogenetic analysis of the lipocalin protein family

, 2000
The lipocalins are a family of extracellular proteins that bind and transport small hydrophobic molecules. They are found in eubacteria and a great variety of eukaryotic cells, in which they play diverse physiological roles.

Human Blood‐Brain Tumor Barrier on a Chip to Investigate Personalized Treatment for Glioblastoma Patients

Small, Volume 22, Issue 49, 1 September 2026.
A microfluidic model of the glioblastoma (GBM) margin was developed to mimic patient‐specific blood‐brain tumor barrier (BBTB) function and drug response. The platform revealed inter‐patient variability in barrier integrity and drug sensitivity, offering a tool for personalized therapy evaluation in GBM.

Urotensin II Receptor Deletion Mitigates Kidney Injury and Renal Lipid Remodeling in Mice Fed a Long‐Term High‐Fat Diet

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

Conditional eIF2A Deletion Suggests Extra‐Adipose Mechanisms Underlying Metabolic Syndrome in Total‐Body eIF2A Knockout Mice

FASEB BioAdvances, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
Adipose tissue‐specific deficiency of eIF2A is insufficient to reproduce the metabolic defects observed in total‐body eIF2A knockout mice, suggesting that the systemic metabolic effects observed in these mice may arise from coordinated functions across multiple organs.
