Intrabiliary infusion of naked DNA vectors targets periportal hepatocytes in mice

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2022
Hydrodynamic tail vein injection (HTV) is the “gold standard” for delivering naked DNA vectors to mouse liver, thereby transfecting predominately perivenous hepatocytes.

Determining the influence of inter-individual variability during development of a urea cycle disorder.

open access: yes, 2012
(A) Simulated venous plasma concentration profiles of ammonia in 100 individuals during development of a urea cycle disorder (single profiles and mean). (B) The distribution of ammonia concentrations as well as the cumulative sums in healthy and diseased

Enhanced Productivity of a Lutein-Enriched Novel Acidophile Microalga Grown on Urea [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Coccomyxa acidophila is an extremophile eukaryotic microalga isolated from the Tinto River mining area in Huelva, Spain. Coccomyxa acidophila accumulates relevant amounts of b-carotene and lutein, well-known carotenoids with many biotechnological ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

The heterodimeric amino acid transporters (HAT) of the SLC7/SLC3 family: A structure−function relationships and relevance to human pathology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Heterodimeric amino acid transporters consist of SLC7 and SLC3 family proteins arranged in a conserved structural organization. They regulate nutrient transport across cell membranes, supporting essential cellular functions. These transporters also contribute to xenobiotic/drug uptake and distribution.

Urea cycle dysregulation drives metabolic stress and neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease

open access: yesnpj Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD), common neurodegenerative disorder, involves substantia nigra dopaminergic neuron loss and α-synuclein accumulation in Lewy bodies. While pathogenesis remains unclear, dysregulated urea metabolism may play a central role.

Relationship between longitudinal changes in neuropsychological outcome and disease biomarkers in urea cycle disorders

open access: yes, 2023
BACKGROUND: Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) cause impaired conversion of waste nitrogen to urea leading to rise in glutamine and ammonia. Elevated ammonia and glutamine have been implicated in brain injury.

The VHL tumor suppressor at the crossroad of protein folding, aggregation, and cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Mutations, environmental stress, and chaperone dysfunction can destabilize pVHL, promoting its conversion from the native folded state into amyloid‐like assemblies. This transition may contribute to protein storage, cell dormancy, survival, and drug resistance.

Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.
