Development of acetylcholinesterase immobilized CMD (Carboxymethyldextran) chip-based sensor for the detection of nerve agent simulant parathion

Cumhuriyet Science Journal, 2020
In this study, a carboxymethyldextran chip based sensor system is developed that selectively recognizes and binds nerve agent molecules used in chemical weapons. Nerve agents fall under the group of organophosphorus compounds and irreversibly inhibit the

Natural Killer Cells in Paediatric Soft Tissue Sarcomas: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Paediatric soft tissue sarcomas (pSTS) are a rare and heterogeneous group of malignant tumours arising in tissues of mesenchymal origin. The role of natural killer (NK) cells in pSTS remains poorly understood, with evidence fragmented across small preclinical studies and early‐phase clinical trials.

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...
