Early evolution of enamel matrix proteins is reflected by pleiotropy of physiological functions

Scientific Reports, 2023
Highly specialized enamel matrix proteins (EMPs) are predominantly expressed in odontogenic tissues and diverged from common ancestral gene. They are crucial for the maturation of enamel and its extreme complexity in multiple independent lineages ...

Molecular mimicry and cancer vaccine development

Molecular Cancer, 2023
Background The development of cancer immunotherapeutic strategies relies on the identification and validation of optimal target tumor antigens, which should be tumor-specific as well as able to elicit a swift and potent anti-tumor immune response.

Myopia disease mouse models: a missense point mutation (S673G) and a protein-truncating mutation of the Zfp644 mimic human disease phenotype

Cell & Bioscience, 2019
Zinc finger 644 (Zfp644 in mouse, ZNF644 in human) gene is a transcription factor whose mutation S672G is considered a potential genetic factor of inherited high myopia.

Caffeine reduces deficits in mechanosensation and locomotion induced by L-DOPA and protects dopaminergic neurons in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans model of Parkinson’s disease

Pharmaceutical Biology, 2020
Context L-DOPA is the first-line drug for Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, chronic use can lead to dyskinesia. Caffeine, which is a known neuroprotectant, can potentially act as an adjunct to minimise adverse effects of L-DOPA.

The epigenetic modifier Fam208a is required to maintain epiblast cell fitness

Scientific Reports, 2017
Gastrulation initiates with the formation of the primitive streak, during which, cells of the epiblast delaminate to form the mesoderm and definitive endoderm.

Molecular Modeling on the Web [PDF]

BioTechniques, 2001
With the worldwide genomic sequencing efforts producing a steady stream of data, the sequences of tens of thousands of proteins can now be determined. Understanding protein function requires knowledge of protein structure. Information on the 3-D structure of a protein can provide insight to the protein’s interactions with other molecules; this ...

Antigenic molecular mimicry in viral-mediated protection from cancer: the HIV case

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2022
Background People living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) show a reduced incidence for three cancer types, namely breast, prostate and colon cancers. In the present study, we assessed whether a molecular mimicry between HIV epitopes and tumor associated antigens ...

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells Targeting Cell Surface GRP78 to Eradicate Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a serious, life-threatening hematological malignancy. The treatment outcome of relapsed or refractory AML patients remains dismal, and new treatment options are needed.

Generation and Characterization of a Novel Angelman Syndrome Mouse Model with a Full Deletion of the Ube3a Gene

Cells, 2022
Angelman syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by deficits in maternally inherited UBE3A. The disease is characterized by intellectual disability, impaired motor skills, and behavioral deficits, including increased anxiety and autism ...
