Optimized application of the secreted Nano-luciferase reporter system using an affinity purification strategy. [PDF]
Secreted Nano-luciferase (secNluc) is a newly engineered secreted luciferase that possesses advantages of high structural stability, long half-life, and glow-type kinetics together with high light emission intensity, and thus would become one of the most

The c‐Src inhibitor eCF506 diminishes opioid tolerance and reduces β‐arrestin2 recruitment
Morphine activation of μ receptors causes tolerance through c‐Src activation and β‐arrestin2 recruitment. c‐Src inhibition or degradation reduces β‐arrestin2 recruitment, μ receptor endocytosis, while causing receptor upregulation, all likely contributing to reduced morphine tolerance.

Transgenic selection and underlying mechanisms in apicomplexan parasites
Transgenic selection markers have driven genetic engineering in apicomplexans, enabling precise, iterative experiments. This review discusses mechanistic details of drug selection markers, strategies for marker recycling, and practical considerations for several clinically relevant parasites.

Role of Extracellular Vesicles in Shaping Immune Responses in the Lymph Node Microenvironment
Functional alliances of stromal, innate and adaptive immune cells in EV immunity in the lymph node. EV reflect the phenotype of their mother cell and cluster material from their surroundings. In the lymph node, EV preserve valuable context information between multiple cellular effectors to coordinate immunity in adaption to change.

A novel nanoluciferase transgenic reporter to measure proteinuria in zebrafish
The zebrafish is an important animal system for modelling human diseases. This includes kidney dysfunction as the embryonic kidney (pronephros) shares considerable molecular and morphological homology with the human nephron.

New Transcriptional Reporters to Quantify and Monitor PPARγ Activity
The peroxisome-proliferator-activated-receptor-γ (PPARγ) is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily that plays a critical role in diverse biological processes, including adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, and placental development.

A Sensitive Reporter Mouse Model to Study Adipocyte‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles In Vivo
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect the function of cells in living animals. Yet, cell type‐specific EV abundances and their distribution in biological fluids are technically challenging to study.
