Contact Urticaria and Related Conditions: Clinical Review
ABSTRACT Contact urticaria (CoU) is an immediate contact reaction occurring within minutes to an hour after exposure to specific proteins or chemicals. CoU is categorised into non‐immunologic (NI‐CoU) and immunologic (I‐CoU) types, with I‐CoU potentially leading to anaphylaxis. Both forms of CoU can be associated with protein contact dermatitis and the

Caveolae as a target for Phoneutria nigriventer spider venom
An important transcellular transport mechanism in the blood-brain barrier (BBB) involves caveolae, which are specialized delta-shaped domains of the endothelial plasma membrane that are rich in cholesterol, glycosphingolipids and the scaffolding protein Caveolina-1 (Cav-1).

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...
