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.

Microelectromechanical system‐based devices for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of ophthalmic diseases

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Due to the characteristics of miniaturization, high sensing performance, integration, and high comfort, MEMS‐based devices were employed to design sensors, imaging systems, drug delivery systems, retinal prosthesis, surgical tools, and wearable products for the ophthalmic disease diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring.

Cytokines of Birds: Conserved Functions [PDF]

, 2001
Targeted disruptions of the mouse genes for cytokines, cytokine receptors, or components of cytokine signaling cascades convincingly revealed the important roles of these molecules in immunologic processes. Cytokines are used at present as drugs to fight

Diacetylene‐Functionalized Glycan Mimetics for Receptor‐Mediated Cluster Imprinting in Model Membranes

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Diacetylene‐containing glycan mimetics cluster upon selective lectin binding in GUVs. Subsequent irradiation leads to the formation of fluorescent polymer clusters, while non‐clustered glycan mimetics remain unaffected in the membrane. ABSTRACT The glycocalyx, a dense layer of glycoproteins and glycolipids on eukaryotic cells, is essential for cellular

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 ...

Chimeric glutamate receptor subunits reveal the transmembrane domain is sufficient for NMDA receptor pore properties but some positive allosteric modulators require additional domains [PDF]

, 2016
NMDA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that underlie transmission at excitatory synapses and play an important role in regulating synaptic strength and stability.

Robust Bioconjugated Antigens Induce Immune Responses Preventing Malaria Infection and its Transmission

Small, EarlyView.
Engineered malaria antigens enable in vivo bioconjugation to submicron biopolymer particles in E. coli. Two antigens are co‐tethered at high density and defined stoichiometry. The resulting thermostable particles elicit strong, durable antibody and T‐cell responses, conferring robust protection and blocking mosquito transmission.

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 ...
