C-reactive protein: the nexus between inflammation and protein misfolding diseases

Frontiers in Immunology
C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute-phase protein primarily produced by hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines, is a widely used clinical marker for inflammation and tissue damage. In its native state, CRP exists in a stable pentameric form

Targeting Mitochondrial Redox Signaling Promotes Neuroregeneration and Functional Recovery in a Multiple Sclerosis Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Modulation of mitochondrial redox signaling by furapyrrodole activates CYB5R3 and suppresses Notch signaling, unlocking the regenerative potential of endogenous neural progenitor cells. This approach promotes neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and remyelination, thereby improving neuronal function in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis and identifying ...

Autoimmune Thyroiditis Mitigates the Effect of Metformin on Plasma Prolactin Concentration in Men with Drug-Induced Hyperprolactinemia

Pharmaceuticals
Metformin inhibits the secretory function of overactive anterior pituitary cells, including lactotropes. In women of childbearing age, this effect was absent if they had coexisting autoimmune (Hashimoto) thyroiditis.

Covalent Immobilisation of PVA‐MA Hydrogels on Plasma‐Activated Coatings: Achieving Superior Adhesion by Reagent‐Free Formation of a Nanoscale Primer Layer

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Robust attachment of hydrogels to solid substrates is critical to success in cell culture where hydrostatic and contractile forces can contribute to delamination of weakly adhered gels. This novel approach forms a nanometer‐scale, reagent‐free hydrogel primer layer to provide improved resistance to delamination of subsequent bulk hydrogel layers in a ...

Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

Highly sensitive C-reactive protein levels in Iranian patients with pulmonary complication of sulfur mustard poisoning and its correlation with severity of airway diseases [PDF]

Background: Sulfur mustard (SM) is a chemical warfare agent that can cause serious pulmonary complications. This study was designed to determine serum highly sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and evaluate its correlation with lung function ...

Control of Helix Screw‐Sense Preference in Dynamic Foldamers of meso Symmetry Built From Chiral Monomeric Units

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Sequence‐diverse meso and “near‐meso” oligourea foldamers are reported and exhibit stimulus‐responsive helix screw‐sense control governed by terminal‐group desymmetrization and sequence‐encoded helix stability. ABSTRACT Meso oligoureas are dynamic hydrogen‐bonded foldamers capable of reversible helix polarity inversion but have so far been limited to ...

pH‐Driven Two‐Stage Conformational Switching Activates an Acid‐Responsive Chaperone

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
AchC is an ATP‐independent, pH‐responsive chaperone. AchC functions as a molecular switch, sensing pH changes and undergoing a two‐stage conformational transition: C‐terminal extension (colored in yellow) loosening at mild pH 4.0–5.5 and monomerization at strong acidic pH 3.0.
