Heat-Treatments Affect Protease Activities and Peptide Profiles of Ruminants' Milk

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Proteases present in milk are heat-sensitive, and their activities increase or decrease depending on the intensity of the thermal treatment applied. The thermal effects on the protease activity are well-known for bovine milk but poorly understood for ...

t-PA Suppresses the Immune Response and Aggravates Neurological Deficit in a Murine Model of Ischemic Stroke

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Introduction: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a potent trigger of immunosuppression, resulting in increased infection risk. While thrombolytic therapy with tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) is still the only pharmacological treatment for AIS ...

Moonlighting Proteins at the Candidal Cell Surface

Microorganisms, 2020
The cell wall in Candida albicans is not only a tight protective envelope but also a point of contact with the human host that provides a dynamic response to the constantly changing environment in infection niches.

Neutrophil activation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in COVID‐19 ARDS and immunothrombosis

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Neutrophils play a role in the immunopathology SARS‐CoV‐2 infection by triggering the formation of NETs, producing cytokines including interleukin‐8 (CXCL8), and mediating the recruitment of other immune cells to regulate inflammation, which can lead to ARDS.

Direct binding of Smad3 and Smad4 to critical TGFβ‐inducible elements in the promoter of human plasminogen activator inhibitor‐type 1 gene

EMBO Journal, 1998
Smad proteins play a key role in the intracellular signalling of transforming growth factor β (TGFβ), which elicits a large variety of cellular responses. Upon TGFβ receptor activation, Smad2 and Smad3 become phosphorylated and form heteromeric complexes

Malignant progression of liver cancer progenitors requires lysine acetyltransferase 7–acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G protein GαS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
KAT7‐acetylated and cytoplasm‐translocated G‐protein GαS enhances IL‐6 effect and drives HCC progenitor cell progression. Abstract Background and Aims Hepatocarcinogenesis goes through HCC progenitor cells (HcPCs) to fully established HCC, and the mechanisms driving the development of HcPCs are still largely unknown.

Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Trial, Phase I: A comparison between intravenous tissue plasminogen activator and intravenous streptokinase. Clinical findings through hospital discharge.

Circulation, 1987
Intravenous administration of 80 mg of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA, 40, 20, and 20 mg in successive hours) and streptokinase (SK, 1.5 million units over 1 hr) was compared in a double-blind, randomized trial in 290 patients with ...
