Biophysical and biochemical characterization of a VHH-based IgG-like bi- and trispecific antibody platform

mAbs, 2020
Here, we report the characterization of a VHH-derived IgG-like bi- and trispecific antibody platform that essentially relies on the replacement of the VH and VL regions of a conventional antibody by two independently functioning VHH domains. Consequently,

FVIIIa Mimetics: New Approaches and Next‐Generation Initiatives

Haemophilia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emicizumab has revolutionized hemophilia A care, yet limitations regarding the “ceiling” of hemostatic efficacy (equivalent to mild hemophilia) and global access persist. This review critically examines two distinct paradigms shaping the future of care: Innovation and Access. Regarding innovation, we synthesize the latest clinical data on next‐

Outbreaks of Granulomatous Disease Associated With Vibrio harveyi Infection in Grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus × E. lanceolatus) Aquaculture in Taiwan

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Between 2015 and 2024, outbreaks of muscular and visceral granulomatous disease, resulting in moderate‐to‐severe mortality in farmed groupers, occurred in southern Taiwan. Initially, affected groupers were screened for granuloma‐associated pathogens, including Mycobacterium spp., Nocardia spp., Photobacterium damselae and Edwardsiella spp ...

Optimization of antibody binding by adjusting thermodynamic stability during the maturation of antibody affinities

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Somatic mutations and antibody clone selection occur in B‐cell hyper‐evolution over extremely brief periods of time. Herein, we developed a technique for antibody screening by immunizing alpacas with antigens and observing antibody sequence transitions over time, a method we named Tracking the Evolution of Antibodies over time.

Llama antibody fragments recognizing various epitopes of the CD4bs neutralize a broad range of HIV-1 subtypes A, B and C.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Many of the neutralising antibodies, isolated to date, display limited activities against the globally most prevalent HIV-1 subtypes A and C. Therefore, those subtypes are considered to be an important target for antibody-based therapy.

The chemokine receptor‐like fourth extracellular loop of the apelin receptor differentially regulates apelin and elabela binding and signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 18, Page 5641-5656, September 2026.
Abstract Background and Purpose Apelin and Elabela are endogenous ligands of the apelin receptor (apelin receptor/APJ), a GPCR involved in cardiovascular regulation and body fluid homeostasis. The human receptor contains a conserved disulfide bridge linking the N‐terminal domain to extracellular loop 3 (ECL3) via Cys19 and Cys281, forming a structural ...

Screening and epitope characterization of Nidogen‐2‐specific nanobodies

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 8, Page 1459-1476, August 2026.
Camel immunization and phage display were employed to generate high‐affinity VHH nanobodies against Nidogen‐2. After library construction, biopanning, ELISA screening, sequencing, and recombinant expression, selected nanobodies were purified and characterized, leading to the preliminary exploration of a nanobody‐based sandwich ELISA for specific ...

Targeting ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 Ameliorates Diabetic Kidney Disease by Reducing Lipotoxicity, Alleviating Inflammation and Inhibiting Fibrosis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 45, 13 August 2026.
Dual targeting of ANGPTL3 and IL‐33/ST2 attenuates diabetic kidney disease by reprogramming lipid–inflammatory crosstalk. This strategy reduces renal lipotoxicity, suppresses inflammatory activation, and limits fibrotic remodeling, thereby preserving kidney structure and function and highlighting a mechanism‐guided therapeutic approach for metabolic ...
