Change in Conformation with Reduction of α-Helix Content Causes Loss of Neutrophil Binding Activity in Fully Cytotoxic Shiga Toxin 1*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Background: The role of Shiga toxins/neutrophils interactions in the pathogenesis of hemolytic uremic syndrome has been greatly debated. Results: We show that limited toxin unfolding induces loss of neutrophil binding activity while maintaining toxicity.

Nanjing Consensus II on Washed Microbiota Transplantation: Statements From the CHINAGUT Conference

Microbiota Medicine Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The new method of fecal microbiota transplantation, based on automatic facilities and washing processes, was coined as washed microbiota transplantation (WMT). The first recommendations on WMT were released as Nanjing Consensus report by the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)‐standardization Study Group in 2019.

Flecainide binding dynamics in voltage‐gated sodium channels: A comparative isoform analysis of the state‐dependent block

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Local anaesthetics and class I anti‐arrhythmic drugs block voltage‐gated Na+ channels, but the molecular basis for the isoform differences in drug sensitivity remains unclear. Understanding these mechanisms is essential for optimizing therapeutic efficacy and safety.

Bispecific Ligand‐Based EphB4 CAR‐T Cells Generated Using Ephrin‐B2 Show Potent Antitumor Activity Against Lung Adenocarcinoma

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
EphB4 and EphA2 positivity in lung adenocarcinoma samples was high. Ligand‐based EphB4 CAR‐T cells exhibit bispecificity, targeting both EphB4 and EphA2. EphB4 CAR‐T cells exert significant antitumor effects against lung adenocarcinoma. ABSTRACT Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cells generated using ephrin‐B2, the natural ligand for ephrin type‐B ...
