Bacteriophage P22 Virus‐Like Particles as Nanoscale Protein Scaffolds for Plant Synthetic Biology

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancing the utility of plant synthetic biology requires the continued development of protein engineering tools. Self‐assembling protein compartments, such as virus‐like particles (VLPs), provide versatile scaffolds for synthetic biology. However, few plant‐expressed VLPs have demonstrated broad amenability to protein engineering, restricting

TK1 in gastric cancer: Helicobacter pylori-driven oncogenesis biomarker, utility, and emerging targeted therapies

Frontiers in Oncology
As a leading cause of cancer-related mortality among gastrointestinal malignancies, gastric carcinoma (GC) necessitates enhanced molecular diagnostic paradigms for early intervention. The thymidine kinase enzymatic family, particularly thymidine kinase 1

Novel Amino Acid Changes Increase Phosphoenolpyruvate Carboxylase Output in planta

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Characterization of previously reported Arabidopsis mutants with increased aluminum (Al) resistance (alr) resulting from greater release of Al‐chelating malate identified three unique amino acid substitutions that each impacts PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE 1, a key anaplerotic carbon fixation enzyme.

Inducing Antigen‐Specific and Functional Immune Responses in Mice Toward Bovine Herpesvirus 1 and Bovine Respiratory Syncytial Virus by Chimeric Peptides Delivered by Bovine Herpesvirus 4‐Based Vector

Immunology, Volume 179, Issue 1, Page 54-71, September 2026.
Bovine Alphaherpesvirus 1 (BoHV‐1) and Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) are major drivers of respiratory disease in cattle. (A) To target both pathogens, two chimeric antigens—membrane‐linked and secreted—combining BoHV‐1 glycoprotein D and BRSV fusion glycoprotein were designed and expressed using recombinant BoHV‐4‐based vectors.

Exploring Disulfide Bridge as a Tool to Improve Pioglitazone’s Neuroprotective Potential: Toward the Development of Prolonged‐Acting MAO‐B/PPARγ Modulators

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Pioglitazone is an antidiabetic drug acting as a peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonist and later repositioned as a monoamine oxidase B (MAO‐B) inhibitor. Despite promising preclinical premises, it showed a lack of efficacy in clinical trials as a treatment for neurodegenerative diseases.

A comparative study of replicative properties of antitumor recombinant vaccinia viruses on human glioblastoma cell culture U87 and monkey kidney cell culture CV-1

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2017
In the world of today, virotherapy is one of the rapidly developing areas in the treatment of cancer, and its advantage is selective destruction of cancer cells with minimizing the destructive effect on normal cells of the body. A promising basis for the

De novo or Salvage? Nucleotide Availability as a Driver of Bacterial Adaptation and Virulence

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens survive in different host environments by switching between making nucleotides by de novo synthesis and scavenging them from the host. This flexibility supports growth and virulence making nucleotide metabolism an attractive therapeutic target.

The Half-Life of Thymidine Kinase 1 in Serum Measured by ECL Dot Blot: A Potential Marker for Monitoring the Response to Surgery of Patients with Gastric Cancer

The International Journal of Biological Markers, 2002
Thymidine kinase 1 in serum (STK1) of patients with gastric cancer was determined by two methods: ECL dot blot and radioactivity assay. Both measurements showed significantly different values for preoperative STK1 and healthy STK1 (p=0.012 for ECL dot ...

Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms of Bacterial Anti‐Phage Defence Systems

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
Panoptes as an example for an antiphage system consists of OptS producing a cyclic dinucleotide that prevents activation of OptE, a transmembrane protein. Phage T4 infection introduces the sponge protein Acb2 that adsorbs the cyclic dinucleotide thus activating OptE which disrupts the cell membrane aborting phage infection.
