Protein Inference and Protein Quantification: Two Sides of the Same Coin [PDF]

arXiv, 2012
Motivation: In mass spectrometry-based shotgun proteomics, protein quantification and protein identification are two major computational problems. To quantify the protein abundance, a list of proteins must be firstly inferred from the sample. Then the relative or absolute protein abundance is estimated with quantification methods, such as spectral ...

Liquid Crystalline Networks Hamper the Malignancy of Cancer Cells

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 14, Issue 7, March 14, 2025.
Liquid Crystalline Networks are used as scaffolds for the growth of A375 melanoma cells demonstrating to affect their malignancy. Indeed, only by contact, these materials reduces cell proliferation and colony formation capacity, while increasing the number of senescent cells and promoting the mesenchymal to epithelial transition.

Concentration of soluble form of hepatocyte growth factor receptor in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of patients with bacterial and viral meningitis

Medical Laboratory Journal, 2012
Background and objectives: C-Met is a proto-oncogene that encodes a protein known as hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR). The HGF receptor possesses tyrosine -kinase activity and it is essential for embryonic development, wound healing and cancer ...

Is the intrinsic disorder of proteins the cause of the scale-free architecture of protein-protein interaction networks? [PDF]

arXiv, 2006
In protein-protein interaction networks certain topological properties appear to be recurrent: networks maps are considered scale-free. It is possible that this topology is reflected in the protein structure. In this paper we investigate the role of protein disorder in the network topology.

Bioactive peptide design using the Resonant Recognition Model [PDF]

, 2007
With a large number of DNA and protein sequences already known, the crucial question is to find out how the biological function of these macromolecules is "written" in the sequence of nucleotides or amino acids.

Refining the Protein-Protein Interactome using Gene Expression Data [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Proteins interact with other proteins within biological pathways, forming connected subgraphs in the protein-protein interactome (PPI). Proteins are often involved in multiple biological pathways which complicates interpretation of interactions between proteins.

Aging on Chip: Harnessing the Potential of Microfluidic Technologies in Aging and Rejuvenation Research

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in microfluidic technologies for modeling human aging and age‐related diseases. It explores how organ‐on‐chip platforms improve physiological relevance, enable rejuvenation strategies, facilitate drug screening, detect senescent cells, and identify biomarkers.

Protein token: a dynamic unit in protein interactions [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
In this study, we introduced a new unit, named "protein token", as a dynamic protein structural unit for protein-protein interactions. Unlike the conventional structural units, protein token is not based on the sequential or spatial arrangement of residues, but comprises remote residues involved in cooperative conformational changes during protein ...

Association of a MET genetic variant with autism-associated maternal autoantibodies to fetal brain proteins and cytokine expression. [PDF]

, 2011
The contribution of peripheral immunity to autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) risk is debated and poorly understood. Some mothers of children with ASD have autoantibodies that react to fetal brain proteins, raising the possibility that a subset of ASD ...
