Retinol-Binding Protein Interferes with Transthyretin-Mediated β‑Amyloid Aggregation Inhibition
β-Amyloid (Aβ) aggregation is causally linked to Alzheimer’s disease. On the basis of in vitro and transgenic animal studies, transthyretin (TTR) is hypothesized to provide neuroprotection against Aβ toxicity by binding to Aβ and inhibiting its ...

Repurposing a Small Molecule Plant Hormone as a Tunable ON‐Switch for CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy
By engineering a receptor system integrating the plant auxin receptor AFB1 with its co‐receptor IAA7, we enable ligand‐dependent interactions triggered by the plant hormone auxins. This design allows rapid, reversible, and dose‐dependent T cell activation, resulting in potent cytotoxicity against B‐cell lymphoma in vitro and in vivo.

Retinol Binding Protein, Sunlight Hours, and the Influenza Virus-Specific Immune Response
Healthy pediatric immune responses depend on adequate vitamin A and D levels. Relationships between solar ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation and vitamin D are well understood, while relationships between sunlight, vitamin A, and its serum escort, retinol ...

Interactions of retinol with lipid bilayers: studies with vesicles of different radii.
The interactions of retinol with vesicles of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine of varying radii were studied. The rate constants of dissociation of retinol from bilayers (k(off)) and the equilibrium partition constants (Keq) of retinol into bilayers of ...

Coexisting DCIS and IDC samples are profiled using spatial transcriptomics, single‐cell RNA sequencing, and single‐cell DNA sequencing. Integrative multi‐omics analysis reveals distinct malignant epithelial and microenvironmental features between DCIS and IDC, which are further validated using Xenium and multiplex immunohistochemistry.
