Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Activation of one Tobacco Necrosis Virus by Another [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1961
SUMMARY: Preparations of the Rothamsted culture of tobacco necrosis virus always gave two and usually three zones when centrifuged in sucrose density gradients. The top zone consisted of polyhedral particles with a sedimentation constant of 50 S, the middle zone of larger polyhedral particles with 116 S, and the bottom zone when present, consisted of ...

Vaccinia Virus Infection Requires Maturation of Macropinosomes. [PDF]

, 2015
The prototypic poxvirus, vaccinia virus (VACV), occurs in two infectious forms, mature virions (MVs) and extracellular virions (EVs). Both enter HeLa cells by inducing macropinocytic uptake.

Macrophage Activation Marker Soluble CD163 Associated with Fatal and Severe Ebola Virus Disease in Humans

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2019
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is associated with elevated cytokine levels, and hypercytokinemia is more pronounced in fatal cases. This type of hyperinflammatory state is reminiscent of 2 rheumatologic disorders known as macrophage activation syndrome and ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS 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

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

In Vivo Activation of the Baboon Endogenous Virus

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1981
AbstractActivation of humoral immune responsiveness to the baboon endogenous type C virus (BaEV) and its viral-specific envelope glycoprotein gp71, as well as activation of gp71 itself, was experimentally accomplished in baboons by inoculating fetal bovine serum (FBS) or horse serum (HS) plus Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) or by cellular and viral ...

Functional interactions of the Tax and p13 proteins of Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type I [PDF]

, 2013
Human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) establishes a lifelong persistent infection in humans. Approximately 3% of the infected individuals will develop adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL), an aggressive malignancy of mature CD4+ T-cells. The viral

The microbiome in human skin aging

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

Cell type-dependent induction of type I interferon and PARP1 activation in astrocytes and neurons during chikungunya virus infection

Microbiology Spectrum
Chikungunya virus, a mosquito-borne alphavirus, causes fever, rash, arthritis, and neurological disorders. Its non-structural protein 3 harbors a macrodomain, a key neurovirulence factor that removes adenosine diphosphate ribose from ADP-ribosylated ...
