Targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b: A Novel Combinatorial Strategy to Drive Adult Cardiac Regeneration

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The article explores a novel therapeutic strategy for cardiac regeneration by targeting miRNA‐1a and miRNA‐15b. Combinatorial inhibition of miR‐1a and miR‐15b enhances cardiomyocyte proliferation, improves heart function, and reduces fibrosis in myocardial infarction models.

Efficient mucosal vaccination mediated by the neonatal Fc receptor [PDF]

Nature Biotechnology, 2011
Almost all infectious diseases are initiated at mucosal surfaces, yet intramuscular or subcutaneous vaccination usually provides only minimal protection at sites of infection owing to suboptimal activation of the mucosal immune system. The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) mediates the transport of IgG across polarized epithelial cells lining mucosal ...

RACK7 Interacts with PRC2 Complex to Regulate Astrocyte Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study investigates the role of RACK7 in brain development using a conditional knockout mouse model. RACK7 deficiency results in developmental defects and abnormal astrocyte development by disrupting H3K27me3 chromatin binding. The underlying mechanism involves RACK7 interacting with the PRC2 complex to regulate the genomic localization of SUZ12 and

BioMETA: A multiple specification parameter estimation system for stochastic biochemical models [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The inherent behavioral variability exhibited by stochastic biochemical systems makes it a challenging task for human experts to manually analyze them. Computational modeling of such systems helps in investigating and predicting the behaviors of the underlying biochemical processes but at the same time introduces the presence of several unknown ...

Flavonifractor Plautii or Its Metabolite Desaminotyrosine as Prophylactic Agents for Alleviating Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

Anomalous subdiffusion in living cells: bridging the gap between experiments and realistic models through collaborative challenges [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The life of a cell is governed by highly dynamical microscopic processes. Two notable examples are the diffusion of membrane receptors and the kinetics of transcription factors governing the rates of gene expression. Different fluorescence imaging techniques have emerged to study molecular dynamics.

Neonatal Fc receptor expression in macrophages is indispensable for IgG homeostasis [PDF]

mAbs, 2019
The maintenance of the homeostasis of immunoglobulin G (IgG) represents a fundamental aspect of humoral immunity that has direct relevance to the successful delivery of antibody-based therapeutics. The ubiquitously expressed neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) salvages IgG from cellular degradation following pinocytic uptake into cells, conferring prolonged in

Enhancing the Protein Stability of an Anticancer VHH‐Fc Heavy Chain Antibody through Computational Modeling and Variant Design

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, a computational pipeline is developed to systematically evaluate the conformational stability, disulfide bond reduction state, and aggregation and degradation tendencies of an anticancer VHH‐Fc fusion antibody. Based on the mechanistic insights, antibody variants with enhanced stability and increased yield are successfully designed. This

Robust Neonatal Face Detection in Real-world Clinical Settings [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Current face detection algorithms are extremely generalized and can obtain decent accuracy when detecting the adult faces. These approaches are insufficient when handling outlier cases, for example when trying to detect the face of a neonate infant whose face composition and expressions are relatively different than that of the adult. It is furthermore

The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, as a target for drug delivery and therapy [PDF]

Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2015
Immunoglobulin G (IgG)-based drugs are arguably the most successful class of protein therapeutics due in part to their remarkably long blood circulation. This arises from IgG interaction with the neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn. FcRn is the central regulator of IgG and albumin homeostasis throughout life and is increasingly being recognized as an important ...
