Characterisation of a phylogenetically distinct PL25 family ulvan lyase from a seaweed biomass enriched metagenome

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Ulvan is a polysaccharide available from green seaweed with beneficial properties for various applications. The full potential of ulvan requires enzymatic degradation of the polymer, thus producing ulvan oligosaccharides. This study expands the armoury of characterised ulvan lyases.

Neuraminidase production by Bacteroidaceae [PDF]

Journal of Medical Microbiology, 1981
The production of neuraminidase (EC 3.2.1.18) by 77 strains of Bacteroidaceae was investigated by techniques previously used to study neuraminidase production by clostridia. Conditions for culture and assay of Bacteroides fragilis neuraminidase were characterised.

Desialylation of Platelets by Pneumococcal Neuraminidase A Induces ADP-Dependent Platelet Hyperreactivity

Infection and Immunity, 2018
Platelets are increasingly recognized to play a role in the complications of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections. S. pneumoniae expresses neuraminidases, which may alter glycans on the platelet surface.

Gamma‐irradiated Newcastle disease virus: an alternative inactivated oncolytic virotherapy

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
To overcome biological risks associated with using live NDV as an oncolytic therapy, we developed gamma‐NDV as a safer alternative. Using a murine model for skin cancer, we show that intratumor administration of gamma‐NDV outperformed live‐NDV in terms of reducing tumor growth and improving overall animal survival. Abstract Newcastle disease virus (NDV)

Influenza and memory T cells : how to awake the force [PDF]

, 2016
Annual influenza vaccination is an effective way to prevent human influenza. Current vaccines are mainly focused on eliciting a strain-matched humoral immune response, requiring yearly updates, and do not provide protection for all vaccinated individuals.

Clinical application of a modified platelet desialylation test for mechanistic characterization of platelet transfusion refractoriness

Transfusion, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Platelet transfusion refractoriness (PTR) is a major challenge in transfusion medicine and may result from both immune and non‐immune mechanisms. Although alloantibodies are well‐established contributors, Fc‐independent pathways such as platelet desialylation have emerged as alternative mechanisms of clearance.

Fusion of isolated myoblast plasma membranes [PDF]

, 1978
Fusion of plasma membranes isolated from myoblasts grown in culture has been investigated. 1. 1. Membrane fusion was specifically dependent on Ca2+ at physiological concentrations. However, at higher concentrations of cations, fusion could be triggered

Contemporary disasters may not kill more women than men: an empirical inquiry into sex‐differentiated fatalities in the twenty‐first century

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

The production and development of H7 Influenza virus pseudotypes for the study of humoral responses against avian viruses [PDF]

, 2013
In recent years, high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus, H5N1, low pathogenicity avian influenza (LPAI) virus, H9N2, and both HPAI and LPAI H7 viruses have proved devastating for the affected economies reliant on poultry industry, and have posed
