The effects of peripheral and central high insulin on brain insulin signaling and amyloid-β in young and old APP/PS1 mice [PDF]
Hyperinsulinemia is a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). In vitro experiments describe potential connections between insulin, insulin signaling, and amyloid-β (Aβ), but in vivo experiments are needed to validate these relationships ...

Therapeutic Benefits of Tocilizumab Vary in Different Organs of a Patient with AA Amyloidosis
Systemic reactive AA amyloidosis is a life-threatening complication of chronic inflammatory diseases. Anti-interleukin-6 receptor, tocilizumab (TCZ), has been shown to improve clinical symptoms of patients with AA amyloidosis, accompanied with regression

Inhibiting amyloid-like aggregation through bio-conjugation of proteins with polymer surfactant [PDF]
Prevention of protein aggregation and thus stabilization of proteins has large biological and biotechnological implications. Here, we show that inhibition of amyloid-like aggregates is possible in stoichiometric conjugates of polymer surfactant and bovine serum albumin (BSA) chosen as a model protein.

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Evaluation of acute phase proteins in cows affected by Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis [PDF]
Traumatic Reticuloperitonitis is one of the most important diseases of the bovine digestive system which if diagnosed in early stage and before severe adhesions develop, more effective treatments leading to better prognosis could be under taken.

Two biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease, amyloid β‐peptide (Aβ) and tau, induce the transformation of U‐251 and other glioblastoma cell lines into neurotoxic A1‐like reactive astrocytes. This transformation is produced by cytokines and is followed by upregulation of PMCA activity and isoform expression, and is closely associated with inflammation, as ...

Role of Ligand Conformation on Nanoparticle-Protein Interactions [PDF]
Engineered biomedical nanoparticles (NP) administered via intravenous routes are prone to associate to serum proteins. The protein corona can mask the NP surface functionalization and hamper the delivery of the NP to its biological target. The design of corona-free NPs relies on our understanding of the chemical-physical features of the NP surface ...
