Human streptococcus agalactiae strains in aquatic mammals and fish [PDF]
, 2013 <p>Background: In humans, Streptococcus agalactiae or group B streptococcus (GBS) is a frequent coloniser of the rectovaginal tract, a major cause of neonatal infectious disease and an emerging cause of disease in non-pregnant adults.

FABP4 as a Mediator of Lipid Metabolism and Pregnant Uterine Dysfunction in Obesity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Obesity during late pregnancy contributes to uterine smooth muscle dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study identifies fatty acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) as a key player in the process, mediating excessive fatty acid uptake, lipid accumulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in myometrial cells. FABP4 could be a novel uterine

Diversity of O Antigens within the Genus Cronobacter: from Disorder to Order [PDF]
, 2015 Cronobacter species are Gram-negative opportunistic pathogens that can cause serious infections in neonates. The lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) that form part of the outer membrane of such bacteria are possibly related to the virulence of particular ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Abnormal mechanical stretch induced by mechanical ventilation (MV) disrupts endothelial junctions via the NOX2/ROS/CaMKII/ERK1/2 axis both in human aortic endothelial cells (HAECs) in vitro and in ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) in mice. Quercetin, an antioxidant predicted to bind to NOX2, can effectively prevent mechanical stretch‐induced ...

Dynamics-based peptide-MHC binding optimization by a convolutional variational autoencoder: a use-case model for CASTELO [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An unsolved challenge in the development of antigen specific immunotherapies is determining the optimal antigens to target. Comprehension of antigen-MHC binding is paramount towards achieving this goal. Here, we present CASTELO, a combined machine learning-molecular dynamics (ML-MD) approach to design novel antigens of increased MHC binding affinity ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study elucidates a novel role of FGF13 in manipulating neuronal fate via mitochondrial transfer. FGF13 is identified as a mitochondria‐stabilizing protein by interacting with mitochondrial proteins. Under stress, the decrease of neuronal FGF13 fails to retain mitochondria within the cytoplasm, leading to the release of damaged mitochondria to ...

Virus Antibody Dynamics in Primary and Secondary Dengue Infections [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Dengue viral infections show unique infection patterns arising from its four serot- ypes, (DENV-1,2,3,4). Its effects range from simple fever in primary infections to potentially fatal secondary infections. We analytically and numerically analyse virus dynamics and humoral response in a host during primary and secondary dengue infection for long ...

Antibody responses to nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in adults: A longitudinal household study [PDF]
, 2005 Background. Natural immunity to Streptococcus pneumoniae is thought to be induced by exposure to S. pneumoniae or cross-reactive antigens. No longitudinal studies of carriage of and immune responses to S.
