Tracking cholesterol/sphingomyelin-rich membrane domains with the ostreolysin A-mCherry protein.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ostreolysin A (OlyA) is an ∼15-kDa protein that has been shown to bind selectively to membranes rich in cholesterol and sphingomyelin. In this study, we investigated whether OlyA fluorescently tagged at the C-terminal with mCherry (OlyA-mCherry) labels ...

Polarized secretion of apoA-I and apoA-II by transfected MDCK cells.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1995
Apolipoproteins (apo) are secreted preferentially from the basolateral surface of hepatocytes and enterocytes. The polarized secretion of proteins is either mediated by a protein-dependent sorting signal or by a cell-dependent default pathway.

Multi‐Targeting Ligands as Prospective Therapeutics for Alzheimer's Disease, a Prevalent Neurodegenerative Disorder: Mechanistic Insights, Emerging Targets and Drug Discovery Campaigns

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 1173-1229, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating neurodegenerative condition characterized by progressive cognitive impairment, memory deterioration, and neuronal dysfunction. Its complex pathophysiology involves multiple interlinked processes, including amyloid‐β (Aβ) aggregation, tau hyperphosphorylation, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation ...

Surfactants as microbicides and contraceptive agents: a systematic in vitro study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2008
BACKGROUND: The urgent need for cheap and easy-to-use protection against both unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases has stimulated considerable interest in the use of surfactants as microbicides, anti-viral, and contraceptive agents in ...

Protein and Peptide Inhibitors of Mineralization: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies

Journal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 7, July 2026.
In vitro evidence from crystallization assays demonstrates that peptides inhibit mineral nucleation and crystal growth through sequence‐dependent interactions (acidic residues and phosphorylation) with mineral surfaces. In cell cultures, these molecules reduce calcium deposition and ALP activity and modulate the expression of biomineralization‐related ...

Immunogenicity of a Multi‐Epitope Influenza Composite Peptide Vaccine Targeting Human, Swine, and Avian Viruses: Advancing Pandemic Preparedness

Influenza and Other Respiratory Viruses, Volume 20, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of novel reassortant influenza A virus strains and zoonotic transmission to the human population is a critical factor in the development of a global pandemic, as exemplified by the 2009 swine flu pandemic and the ongoing threat of an H5N1 avian flu pandemic.

RNF213 Is an Interferon‐Stimulated Gene That Targets Influenza A Virus NP and Activates MDA5 to Restrict Infection

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
RNF213 is characterized as a dual‐functional antiviral effector. It directly mediates the degradation of the influenza A virus nucleoprotein (NP) while simultaneously activating the MDA5‐mediated innate immune signaling pathway. This coordinated response establishes a powerful host defense system against viral infection. ABSTRACT Influenza A virus (IAV)

Influenza A Virus and Influenza B Virus Can Induce Apoptosis via Intrinsic or Extrinsic Pathways and Also via NF-κB in a Time and Dose Dependent Manner

Biochemistry Research International, 2016
Influenza viruses are able to cause annual epidemics and pandemics due to their mutation rates and reassortment capabilities leading to antigenic shifts and drifts.

Cells Dynamically Adapt Their Nuclear Volumes and Proliferation Rates During Single to Multicellular Transitions

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 31, 4 June 2026.
It is currently not well understood how cells regulate basic properties, e.g., volume and mechanics within dense multicellular environments like tumors. Here, we show that different cell types of cancer and also normal cells largely decrease their nuclear and cellular volumes in emerging cell clusters and that this is partly driven by cell cycle shifts.
