Efferocytosis in Health and Disease
Efferocytosis in health and disease. Efferocytosis integrates apoptotic cell recognition, engulfment, digestion, and reprogramming to link cell clearance with tissue repair. Molecular checkpoints balance “eat‐me” signals such as phosphatidylserine against inhibitory “don't‐eat‐me” cues like CD47, while TAM receptors, scavenger receptors, and integrins ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Secreting Vesicle Biogenesis and Secretion in Chronic Degenerative Diseases [PDF]
Regulated trafficking and secretion of insulin by the β cell of the endocrine pancreas is critical to maintain our body energy homeostasis. Disruption of these processes typically leads to hyperglycemia and the complications of diabetes.

Mitochondria and neuroprotection in stroke: Cationic arginine-rich peptides (CARPs) as a novel class of mitochondria-targeted neuroprotective therapeutics [PDF]
Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally and represents a major cause of devastating long-term disability. Despite sustained efforts to develop clinically effective neuroprotective therapies, presently there is no clinically available ...

Molecular Electroporation and the Transduction of Oligoarginines
Certain short polycations, such as TAT and polyarginine, rapidly pass through the plasma membranes of mammalian cells by an unknown mechanism called transduction as well as by endocytosis and macropinocytosis.

Impaired Cleavage of Preproinsulin Signal Peptide Linked to Autosomal-Dominant Diabetes [PDF]
Recently, missense mutations upstream of preproinsulin’s signal peptide (SP) cleavage site were reported to cause mutant INS gene-induced diabetes of youth (MIDY).

Efficient processing of an antigenic sequence for presentation by MHC class I molecules depends on its neighboring residues in the protein [PDF]
Processing of endogenously synthesized proteins generates short peptides that are presented by MHC class I molecules to CD8 T lymphocytes. Here it is documented that not only the sequence of the presented peptide but also the residues by which it is ...

Cellular Internalization of Human Calcitonin Derived Peptides in MDCK Monolayers: A Comparative Study with Tat(47-57) and Penetratin(43-58) [PDF]
Purpose. The objective of this study was to evaluate key motif requirements of human calcitonin (hCT)-derived peptides for the permeation through the plasma membrane of MDCK monolayers, as epithelial model. Methods.
