B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies directly induced podocyte damage in vitro

Renal Failure, 2022
Background The pathogenesis of primary membranous nephropathy (MN) involves the antibodies against antigens on the cell surface of podocytes, with the majority of M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R), and a profound podocyte dysfunction.

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Novel Population Pharmacokinetic Approach to Explain the Differences between Cystic Fibrosis Patients and Healthy Volunteers via Protein Binding

Pharmaceutics, 2019
The pharmacokinetics in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) has long been thought to differ considerably from that in healthy volunteers. For highly protein bound β-lactams, profound pharmacokinetic differences were observed between comparatively morbid ...

Gene silencing and large-scale domain structure of the E. coli genome

, 2012
The H-NS chromosome-organizing protein in E. coli can stabilize genomic DNA loops, and form oligomeric structures connected to repression of gene expression.

DISOPRED3: precise disordered region predictions with annotated protein-binding activity

Bioinform., 2014
Motivation: A sizeable fraction of eukaryotic proteins contain intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), which act in unfolded states or by undergoing transitions between structured and unstructured conformations.

Circulating histones as clinical biomarkers in critically ill conditions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Circulating histones are emerging as promising biomarkers in critical illness due to their diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic potential. Detection methods such as ELISA and mass spectrometry provide reliable approaches for quantifying histone levels in plasma samples.

Effect of hypoalbuminemia on drug pharmacokinetics

Frontiers in Pharmacology
Hypoalbuminemia, defined as serum albumin levels below 35 g/L, is common in patients with conditions such as nephrotic syndrome, cirrhosis, or sepsis. This review examines the impact of hypoalbuminemia on the pharmacokinetics of selected drugs—such as ...

Capillarity Theory for the Fly-Casting Mechanism

, 2010
Biomolecular folding and function are often coupled. During molecular recognition events, one of the binding partners may transiently or partially unfold, allowing more rapid access to a binding site.

Specific protein-protein binding in many-component mixtures of proteins [PDF]

, 2003
Proteins must bind to specific other proteins in vivo in order to function. The proteins must bind only to one or a few other proteins of the of order a thousand proteins typically present in vivo.
