Interactions between N-linked glycosylation and polymerisation of neuroserpin within the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
, 2015 The neuronal serpin neuroserpin undergoes polymerisation as a consequence of point mutations that alter its conformational stability, leading to a neurodegenerative dementia called familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies (FENIB ...

Differential Proteomics of Large Extracellular Vesicles in Ovarian Cancer
PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Diverse extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in all body fluids; however, knowledge of large EVs (lEVs) remains limited. Molecular EV profiles vary depending on EV size and the physiological circulatory system, even within the same patient. In this study, we aimed to characterize the proteomic profile of IEVs in ovarian cancer patients and

Restriction of Viral Glycoprotein Maturation by Cellular Protease Inhibitors
VirusesThe human genome is estimated to encode more than 500 proteases performing a wide range of important physiological functions. They digest proteins in our food, determine the activity of hormones, induce cell death and regulate blood clotting, for example.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.Alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and the liver. The role of the heterozygous genetic defect in the development of liver cancer in patients with cirrhosis is unclear. Our study found that carrying the Pi*MZ genotype increases the risk of developing liver cancer.

Viral cross-class serpin inhibits vascular inflammation and T lymphocyte fratricide; a study in rodent models in vivo and human cell lines in vitro. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Poxviruses express highly active inhibitors, including serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins), designed to target host immune defense pathways. Recent work has demonstrated clinical efficacy for a secreted, myxomaviral serpin, Serp-1, which targets the ...

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.Bone marrow (BM) involvement in B‐cell non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (B‐NHL) is associated with poor prognosis, as the BM microenvironment provides a protective niche that promotes therapeutic resistance. We developed a simplified, automated and high‐throughput 3D BM co‐culture model that faithfully reproduces key tumour–stroma interactions.

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Irreversible ECM proteolysis by remodeling enzymes shapes development, homeostasis, and disease. ECM‐degrading proteases display cell specificity and are governed by shared mechanisms, exhibiting functional redundancy in generating matrikines, growth factors, and cytokines.
