Adjuvant DNA vaccine pNMM promotes enhanced specific immunity and anti-tumor effects
Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2023 DNA vaccines containing only antigenic components have limited efficacy and may fail to induce effective immune responses. Consequently, adjuvant molecules are often added to enhance immunogenicity.

Peptide Vaccines in Melanoma: Chemical Approaches towards Improved Immunotherapeutic Efficacy
Pharmaceutics, 2023 Cancer of the skin is by far the most common of all cancers. Although the incidence of melanoma is relatively low among skin cancers, it can account for a high number of skin cancer deaths.

Activation of the adipocyte CREB/CRTC pathway in obesity
Communications Biology, 2021 Yoon et al show that a high fat diet in mice activates the CREB/CRTC pathway in adipocytes by decreasing the expression of Salt Inducible Kinase 2 (SIK2), a Ser/Thr kinase that otherwise phosphorylates and sequesters CREB coactivators in the cytoplasm ...

Cholesterol-directed nanoparticle assemblies based on single amino acid peptide mutations activate cellular uptake and decrease tumor volume. [PDF]
, 2017 Peptide drugs have been difficult to translate into effective therapies due to their low in vivo stability. Here, we report a strategy to develop peptide-based therapeutic nanoparticles by screening a peptide library differing by single-site amino acid ...

Alamethicin self-assembling in lipid membranes: concentration dependence from pulsed EPR of spin labels [PDF]
, 2018 The antimicrobial action of the peptide antibiotic alamethicin (Alm) is commonly related to peptide self-assembling resulting in the formation of voltage-dependent channels in bacterial membranes, which induces ion permeation.
