The feasibility of measuring calprotectin from a throat swab as a marker of infections caused by group A streptococcus: a case–control feasibility study

BJGP Open, 2020
Background: Most people with sore throat do not benefit from antibiotic treatment, but nearly three-quarters of those presenting in primary care are prescribed antibiotics.

Loss of STARD7 Triggers Metabolic Reprogramming and Cell Cycle Arrest in Breast Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breast cancer cells undergo metabolic and transcriptomic reprogramming to support aberrant cell proliferation. Their mitochondria rely on the transfer of phosphatidylcholine from the endoplasmic reticulum to their membranes by STARD7, a candidate upregulated in breast cancer, to be functional.

Extracellular calcium reduction strongly increases the lytic capacity of pneumolysin from streptococcus pneumoniae in brain tissue [PDF]

, 2011
Background. Streptococcus pneumoniae causes serious diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis. Its major pathogenic factor is the cholesterol-dependent cytolysin pneumolysin, which produces lytic pores at high concentrations.

Synthesis of Chirally Chimeric Protein Nanoparticle Vaccines via Mirror‐Image Spy Chemistry

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This study illustrates a versatile strategy for creating chirally chimeric protein constructs by merging natural‐chirality (L‐) and mirror‐image (D‐) protein motifs through a combination of L‐sortase‐mediated transpeptidation and D‐SpyStapler‐mediated ligation.

A Two‐Component Pseudo‐Icosahedral Protein Nanocompartment with Variable Shell Composition and Irregular Tiling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The structure and assembly principles of a two‐component encapsulin nanocompartment shell are reported. The two‐component protein compartment self‐assembles from two distinct HK97‐fold shell proteins into a pseudo‐icosahedral protein shell with variable composition and irregular tiling.

A shared mucosal gut microbiota signature in primary sclerosing cholangitis before and after liver transplantation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
In this study of the gut mucosal microbiota in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), we found consistent microbiota features associated with PSC and recurrent PSC, PSC with inflammatory bowel disease and a persistent gut dysbiosis after liver transplantation Abstract Background and Aims Several characteristic features of the fecal microbiota have been ...

Invasive group A streptococcal infections in adults, France (2006-2010).

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2011
Severe invasive group A streptococcal diseases have re-emerged during the past 10-20 years. In order to provide a better insight into the current epidemiological situation in France, we analysed the questionnaires regarding all invasive strains received ...

USP8‐Governed MDA5 Homeostasis Promotes Innate Immunity and Autoimmunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that USP8 stabilizes MDA5 via AKT‐mediated phosphorylation (Ser718), enhancing their interaction and MDA5 deubiquitination. USP8 inactivation degrades MDA5, suppressing type I IFN and cytokine production. Pharmacological inhibition of USP8/AKT alleviates MDA5‐driven autoimmunity, demonstrating the USP8‐MDA5 axis as a therapeutic ...

TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...
