Structural studies of human cell surface receptors: On low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 and epidermal growth factor receptors 2 and 3 [PDF]

, 2017
The elucidation of proteins’ structure and function is of great importance for the understanding of disease triggering mechanisms and for the development of new drugs. In this thesis, different biophysical and biochemical techniques were employed to gain

Performance of somatic structural variant calling in lung cancer using Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology

BMC Genomics
Background Lung cancer is a heterogeneous disease and the primary cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Somatic mutations, including large structural variants, are important biomarkers in lung cancer for selecting targeted therapy. Genomic studies

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Understanding the first steps of the complement classical pathway: Structural studies on C1-antibody complexes [PDF]

, 2018
The complement system is a complex network of plasma and membrane-associated proteins, which can produce effective immune responses to infectious micro-organisms. Deficiencies of complement proteins cause diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),

A case of maturity‐onset diabetes of the young with a pathogenic HNF1A variant and a coexisting NEUROD1 variant

Journal of Diabetes Investigation
Aims/Introduction Maturity‐onset diabetes of the young (MODY) accounts for at least 1%–5% of diabetes cases and is usually caused by single gene variants.

Metastatic niche shaped by host factors influences disseminated cancer cell fate

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Metastasis is shaped not only by cancer cells but also by the environments they encounter. This review explores how factors such as aging, diet, the microbiome, lifestyle, and environmental exposures remodel organ‐specific niches in the lung, liver, bone, and brain, influencing where metastatic cells survive, remain dormant, or grow, and ultimately ...

Optical genome mapping identifies a homozygous deletion in the non-coding region of the SCN9A gene in individuals from the same family with congenital insensitivity to pain

Frontiers in Genetics
We report an index patient with complete insensitivity to pain and a history of painless fractures, joint hypermobility, and behavioral problems. The index patient descends from a family with notable cases among his maternal relatives, including his aunt

Lysyl oxidase (LOX)‐mediated remodeling of the extracellular matrix

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The lysyl oxidase (LOX) family of enzymes drives extracellular matrix remodeling by oxidizing collagen, elastin, and fibronectin, promoting covalent cross‐link formation. This activity regulates tissue architecture and mechanical properties, while its dysregulation contributes to fibrosis, cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, connective tissue disorders ...

Smaller is better: nanobodies meet NMR

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nanobodies are single‐domain antigen‐binding fragments derived from camelid heavy chain antibodies. Their small size, high stability, and exceptional specificity make nanobodies uniquely useful probes for NMR studies of protein dynamics, transient conformational states, and protein–protein interactions.
