Sialylation status of leukocyte cell-surface glycoconjugates in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and after treatment with agmatine

Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, 2013
Development of experimental diabetes mellitus in rats was accompanied by increase of desialylation of carbohydrate determinants of leukocyte membrane glycoproteins. A decreased level of both α (2,3)- and α(2,6)-linked sialic acid residues and uncovering

THBS1+ Macrophages Exacerbate Modic Changes via SDC4‐Dependent Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The illustration of THBS1+ macrophages exacerbate MCs via SDC4‐dependent activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. THBS1+ macrophage subpopulation was identified in MCs through single‐cell RNA sequencing. C. acnes and its metabolites activate THBS1 expression in macrophages via the TLR signaling pathway.

Laminin–a glycoprotein from basement membranes.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1979
We have isolated a large noncollagenous glycoprotein, laminin, from a mouse tumor that produces basement membrane. The protein consists of at least two polypeptide chains (Mr = 220,000 and Mr = 440,000) joined to each other by disulfide bonds. Laminin and type IV collagen are major constituents of the tumor.

Engineering Human Donor Derived Germinal Center‐Like Organoids (GCLOs) for Studying Immune Response to Vaccination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We bioengineered a new approach methodology of generating Germinal Center Organoids that self‐organize from human blood‐derived immune cells. These immune organoids reproduce key features of humoral immunity, IgG production, and plasmablast emergence.

Liver Endothelia Orchestrate MASH‐Associated Macrophage Zonation Through FSTL1‐ITGA4 Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Liver inflammation in MASH fundamentally hinges on the newly defined Kit/STAT2/FSTL1/ITGA4 axis. Declining endothelial Kit collapses normal hepatic zonation, driving an aberrant FSTL1 gradient that recruits pathogenic macrophages. Strikingly, targeting FSTL1‐ITGA4 with anti‐VLA4 restores spatial immune homeostasis and halts disease progression ...

Cell membrane glycan contents are biochemical factors that constitute a kinetic barrier to viral particle uptake in a protein-nonspecific manner

eLife
Various types of glycoproteins have been suggested to inhibit viral infection of cells via steric repulsion. However, it is difficult to evaluate such physical actions genetically, simply because they are nonspecific and can be caused by any molecule ...

Understanding membrane pore-wetting in the membrane distillation of oil emulsions via molecular dynamics simulations

, 2018
The escalating volume of oily wastewater, particularly produced water, necessitates efficient means of treatment for the recovery of both the water and oil constituents. Towards this end, membrane distillation (MD) is a promising candidate. Unfortunately,

Artificial Host‐Guest Recognition Directs Glycometabolically Engineered Macrophages to Tumors

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Glycoengineered supramolecular macrophages (GSAR‐M) are developed using glycometabolic labeling for bioorthogonal host‐guest tumor targeting. This engineering approach unexpectedly enhances macrophage migration, phagocytosis, and pseudopodia formation. Consequently, GSAR‐M demonstrate robust tumor‐targeting specificity, effectively arrest tumor growth,

EphB1‐Mediated Transient Blood‐Brain Barrier Opening Facilitates a Ferritin‐Based Nanotherapeutic for Alzheimer's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We constructed a brain‐targeted AFn‐DPZ nanodrug delivery system and identified EphB1 as its receptor on the blood‐brain barrier (BBB). This system facilitates drug transport across the BBB and thereby ameliorates cognitive impairment in Alzheimer's disease.
