Synthetic Glycolipids as Molecular Vaccine Adjuvants: Mechanism of Action in Human Cells and In Vivo Activity

open access: yesJournal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2021
Modern adjuvants for vaccine formulations are immunostimulating agents whose action is based on the activation of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) by well-defined ligands to boost innate and adaptive immune responses. Monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA), a

Post-translational modifications in PrP expand the conformational diversity of prions in vivo

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Misfolded prion protein aggregates (PrPSc) show remarkable structural diversity and are associated with highly variable disease phenotypes. Similarly, other proteins, including amyloid-β, tau, α-synuclein, and serum amyloid A, misfold into distinct ...

Macrophage Polarization in the Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis and Treatment

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 22-35, January 2025.
M1 macrophage polarization is responsible for the etiology and progression of OA. ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a prevalent degenerative disorder that severely impacts quality of life due to pain and disability. Although the pathophysiology of OA remains incompletely understood, recent research highlights the role of synovial inflammation in OA onset

Cytosolic Prion Protein (PrP) Is Not Toxic in N2a Cells and Primary Neurons Expressing Pathogenic PrP Mutations*

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2005
Inherited prion diseases are linked to mutations in the prion protein (PrP) gene, which favor conversion of PrP into a conformationally altered, pathogenic isoform.

Glycomolecules: from “sweet immunity” to “sweet biostimulation”?

open access: yesPhysiologia Plantarum, Volume 176, Issue 6, November/December 2024.
Abstract Climate changes and environmental contaminants are daunting challenges that require an urgent change from current agricultural practices to sustainable agriculture. Biostimulants are natural solutions that adhere to the principles of organic farming and are believed to have low impacts on the environment and human health.
