Immunoinformatics‐Based Design of a Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Targeting a Conserved Copper–Associated Protein in Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neisseria gonorrhoeae poses an urgent public health challenge due to rapidly increasing antimicrobial resistance and the absence of an effective vaccine. Targeting conserved bacterial pathways involved in essential physiological processes may provide new opportunities for vaccine antigen discovery.

What’s the importance of peptidases in cancer? [PDF]

Einstein (São Paulo), 2009
A synonym for a successful tumor spread is a productive invasive cell migration, a process by which the extracellular matrix plays the role of substrate for cells to move and reach a secondary site.

Effect of developmental changes on pharmacokinetics of drugs used in the treatment of infant acute lymphoblastic leukaemia—A comprehensive review

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
While the event‐free survival (EFS) of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) has improved greatly in the last decades, the EFS for patients diagnosed with ALL before the age of one is still under 50%. This outcome further decreases when infants have a rearrangement in the gene encoding histone‐lysine N‐methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A ...

S. aureus colonization and clinical symptoms remain stable upon topical XZ.700 treatment: Results of a double‐blind randomized clinical trial in patients with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim Recovering dysbiosis may improve atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms. XZ.700 is a recombinant chimeric endolysin that specifically targets Staphylococcus aureus and could be a new treatment option for patients with AD. The aim of this first‐in‐human study was to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of topical XZ.700 and explore the ...

Affinity Peptides With pH Sensitivity for the Enrichment of CD38+ Cells

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The selective enrichment of cell populations based on surface markers is critical for the advancement of gene and cell therapies. Current antibody‐based cell isolation methods, such as fluorescence‐ and magnetic‐activated cell sorting (FACS and MACS), offer high specificity but are limited by scalability, cost, and potential adverse effects on

Cell Wall Hydrolases in Bacteria: Insight on the Diversity of Cell Wall Amidases, Glycosidases and Peptidases Toward Peptidoglycan

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The cell wall (CW) of bacteria is an intricate arrangement of macromolecules, at least constituted of peptidoglycan (PG) but also of (lipo)teichoic acids, various polysaccharides, polyglutamate and/or proteins. During bacterial growth and division, there

Impact of Agitation Power Input on Aspergillus oryzae Metabolism: Application of Multi‐Omics on an Industrial Enzyme Fermentation

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agitation power input substantially impacts the oxygen transfer rate in aerobic fermentation processes. Furthermore, in a carbon‐limited process where the substrate feed rate is controlled by the concentration of dissolved oxygen, the power input will consequently govern the feed rate.
