Red lines and green lights: Gene therapy for inherited erythroid disorders beyond the haemoglobinopathies

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Gene therapy is revolutionizing treatment paradigms for haemoglobinopathies, establishing a translational framework for disorders that impact red blood cell development. In their paper, Joshi et al. describe the preclinical and early clinical landscape of gene therapies for non‐haemoglobinopathy erythroid disorders and highlight common thematic ...

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

Spectral Transforms as a Tool to Optimize Digital Phenotyping in Biological Images

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern livestock breeding has mastered genotyping. Genome‐wide association studies, genomic selection, and SNP arrays enable genetic merit prediction at lower cost. However, phenotyping remains the bottleneck, as manual measurement is slow, expensive, subjective, and unable to capture spatial or temporal trait organization. Digital phenotyping

Enhancement of 5-aminolevulinic acid-induced photodynamic therapy by a bioadhesive polymer

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2010
Using a topical formulation of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), a mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) was developed to treat oral precancerous and cancerous lesions.

Hidden Strategies Beneath a Single Nucleotide: Contrasting Physiology in Lichen Photobiont Strains

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lichen photobionts exhibit significant physiological variability with important ecological implications. While this variability is relatively well studied at the interspecific level, it has rarely been examined at the intraspecific level. Here, we investigated the physiological responses to temperature and irradiance of two Trebouxia lynniae ...

Sodium Alginate Composite Coating Inhibited Postharvest Greening and Improved Nutritional Quality of Potato Tubers by Regulating Chlorophyll Biosynthesis

Horticulturae
Potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L.) was prone to greening and quality deterioration during postharvest storage due to various factors, affecting the regulation of chlorophyll biosynthesis. In the present study, potato tubers were placed at 600 lux and 25

Fiber-optic filter fluorometer for emission detection of Protoporphyrin IX and its direct precursors – A preliminary study for improved Photodynamic Therapy applications

Results in Physics, 2018
In this work we present first results of a laboratory manufactured filter-fluorometer to study differences in intensity and position of the main peaks of three porphyrins that appear during the Heme-Synthesis. Porphyrins play a major role in Photodynamic

Hydroxyaldehyde and formyl photoproducts of protoporphyrin IX formed under photodynamic diagnosis and therapy irradiation conditions

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Photoproducts of the photosensitizer protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) may have diagnostic and therapeutic relevance in photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) and photodynamic therapy (PDT). These photoproducts possess fluorescence and photosensitizing properties and could serve as a complementary dosimetry index alongside photosensitizer photobleaching. The formation of

The effect of photodynamic therapy in head and neck cancer: A comprehensive review of in vivo models

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This review evaluates Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) in in vivo head and neck cancer models. PDT effectively generates ROS, reducing tumor growth, cell proliferation and angiogenesis while enhancing survival and immune responses. However, methodological heterogeneity highlights the urgent need for standardized dosimetric protocols to ensure reproducibility

A low‐cost handheld device for monitoring cutaneous photosensitivity

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
The cutaneous photosensitivity detection (CPD) device is a handheld contact‐based measurement device using 405 nm excitation and red fluorescence detection for monitoring skin phototoxicity risk after photodynamic therapy (PDT) procedures involving systemic aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) photosensitization.
