Vagal afferent fibers contribute to the anti-inflammatory reactions by vagus nerve stimulation in concanavalin A model of hepatitis in rats

Molecular Medicine, 2020
Background Increasing number of studies provide evidence that the vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) dampens inflammation in peripheral visceral organs. However, the effects of afferent fibers of the vagus nerve (AFVN) on anti-inflammation have not been ...

Concanavalin-A-induced transmembrane linkage of concanavalin A surface receptors to intracellular myosin-containing filaments. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1976
With normal rat kidney cells in monolayer culture, we have studied the distribution on the cell surface of receptors for concanavalin A, and the distribution of the smooth muscle myosin-like protein inside the same cell, using specific fluorescence microscopic methods.

A Novel Diagnostic Approach for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using Glycosylated Ferritin

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The percentage of glycosylated ferritin relative to total ferritin (%GF) is a novel biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), showing diagnostic performance comparable to that of AFP and DCP. We developed the GFAD index by integrating age, sex, %GF, AFP, and DCP, achieving improved diagnostic accuracy with high sensitivity and specificity. ABSTRACT

Inducing Antigen‐Specific and Functional Immune Responses in Mice Toward Bovine Herpesvirus 1 and Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus by Chimeric Peptides Delivered by Bovine Herpesvirus 4‐Based Vector

Immunology, EarlyView.
Bovine Alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV‐1) and Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) are major drivers of respiratory disease in cattle. (A) To target both pathogens, two chimeric antigens—membrane‐linked and secreted—combining BoHV‐1 glycoprotein D and BRSV fusion glycoprotein were designed and expressed using recombinant BoHV‐4‐based vectors.

Probing multivalency in ligand–receptor-mediated adhesion of soft, biomimetic interfaces

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2015
Many biological functions at cell level are mediated by the glycocalyx, a dense carbohydrate-presenting layer. In this layer specific interactions between carbohydrate ligands and protein receptors are formed to control cell–cell recognition, cell ...

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Valorization of Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) peel for peroxidase production and its immobilization on alginate beads for 2,4‐dichlorophenol bioconversion

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 8, Page 3984-3995, August 2026.
Sodium alginate was modified with EDC/NHS for the immobilization of Yacon peel peroxidase, resulting in a novel biocatalyst for the oxidation of 2,4‐dichlorophenol. Abstract Yacon (Smallanthus sonchifolius) roots are emerging as an alternative source of peroxidase. This study aimed to extract, immobilize, and characterize the peroxidase from Yacon peel,

Glycointeractome of Neisseria gonorrhoeae: Identification of Host Glycans Targeted by the Gonococcus To Facilitate Adherence to Cervical and Urethral Epithelial Cells

mBio, 2019
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a significant threat to global health for which a vaccine and novel treatment options are urgently needed. Glycans expressed by human cells are commonly targeted by pathogens to facilitate interactions with the host, and thus ...

Targeting the noncatalytic activity of GSK3β modulates neuronal excitability in medium spiny neurons via Nav1.6 interactions

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 15, Page 4344-4363, August 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Kinases phosphorylate ion channels, but their noncatalytic roles via protein–protein interactions (PPI) are less understood. Here, we identified the peptidomimetic ZL141 to characterize the PPI between GSK3β and Nav1.6, revealing a noncatalytic role for GSK3β in regulating Nav1.6 currents and neuronal excitability ...

Experimental Models of Autoimmune Hepatitis: Disease Fidelity and Translational Relevance

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) remains difficult to study mechanistically in patients because disease initiation is rarely observed directly, the relevant autoantigens differ across subsets, and clinically meaningful outcomes such as chronic inflammation, fibrosis, relapse, and treatment response evolve over time.
