Hemopexin Purification From Human Cohn Fraction IV Paste and Its Biophysical Characterization and Functional Evaluation in Sickle Cell Disease Mice

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemopexin (Hpx) is an acute phase plasma protein that is responsible for sequestration and removal of cell‐free heme with very high affinity (Kd < 1 pM). Hpx expression in liver cells is induced following an inflammatory event such as severe hemolysis. Therefore, plasma Hpx has potential clinical relevance due to its' ability to bind free heme,

Ferritin as a Nanoparticle Scaffold for Plant‐Produced Next‐Generation Subunit Vaccines

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protein nanoparticles offer an innovative approach to next‐generation subunit vaccine development by displaying antigenic sequences on the nanoparticle surface. Compared to traditional subunit vaccines, protein nanoparticle vaccines often show improved interaction with the immune system due to their particulate size and repetitive epitope ...

Characterization of Immune Responses to RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines Derived From ACE2‐Capable HKU5‐CoV‐2, NeoCoV, and HKU5 Merbecoviruses

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles presenting HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 RBD‐SD1 induced strong, cross‐reactive IgG responses in immunized mice. The surrogate virus neutralization test demonstrated strong activity in sera from homologous vaccination. ABSTRACT Recent discoveries of merbecoviruses such as HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 that use angiotensin ...

Enhancing drug checking services for supply monitoring: perspectives on implementation in syringe service programs in the USA

Harm Reduction Journal
Abstract Background Shifts in the US drug supply, including the proliferation of synthetic opioids and emergence of xylazine, have contributed to the worsening toll of the overdose epidemic. Drug checking services offer a critical intervention to promote agency among people who use drugs (PWUD) to reduce overdose risk ...

High‐throughput development and scale‐up of recombinant adeno‐associated virus 5 anion‐exchange chromatography for high‐purity capsid separation

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
High‐throughput anion‐exchange chromatography process development enables scalable purification of high‐purity recombinant adeno‐associated virus capsids. Abstract Recombinant adeno‐associated virus (rAAV) production commonly yields a high proportion of empty and partially filled capsids, necessitating downstream purification to enrich full capsids ...

Catalyst‐Free Cyanation of Arenes by Acetonitrile in a Plasma–Liquid Microreactor

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
An original approach of arylnitrile synthesis was developed by generating an argon plasma in contact with solutions of arene in acetonitrile within a gas‐liquid microreactor. Plasma activation of acetonitrile generated cyano radicals, enabling a catalyst‐free C‐H cyanation of arenes.

Embedding a Dinuclear Ru─Pt Photocatalyst Into Polyampholytic Graft Copolymer Matrix Enables Prolonged Hydrogen Evolution While Allowing Catalyst Repair

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A unimolecular polyampholytic graft copolymer matrix provides a protective confinement for an electrostatically embedded tetrapyridophenazine‐bridged heterodinuclear Ru‐Pt hydrogen evolving photocatalyst. The matrix slows the degradation kinetics of the catalyst and at the same time does not hinder its repair by ammonium persulfate.

Syringe service program leader and participant perspectives on reasons for opioid-stimulant co-use in the United States

Drug and Alcohol Dependence Reports
Background: Opioids and stimulants are increasingly used together in North America. Using syringe service program (SSP) leaders’ and participants’ perspectives, we sought to identify reasons for intentional and unintentional co-use.

Purification, Fluorescent Labeling, and Detyrosination of Mammalian Cell Tubulin for Biochemical Assays

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules play essential roles in numerous cellular processes. All microtubules are built from the protein tubulin, yet individual microtubules can differ spatially and temporally due to their tubulin isotype composition and post‐translational modifications (PTMs).

Understanding Consumption of Illicit Drugs and New Psychoactive Substances in Australia by Triangulating Drug Checking and Wastewater‐Based Epidemiology

Drug Testing and Analysis, EarlyView.
First Australian study combining wastewater‐based epidemiology and drug checking, demonstrating how complementary data sources enhance monitoring of illicit drugs and emerging psychoactive substances during high‐use periods. ABSTRACT Consumption of psychotropic drugs is a major economic and public health challenge in Australia.
