BACKGROUND: Human ventriculum myosin (βmys) powers contraction sometimes in complex with myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3). The latter regulates βmys activity and impacts cardiac function. Single residue variants (SRVs) change protein sequence in βmy...
BACKGROUND: Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent malignancy in women. Potential therapeutic targets for BC are of great significance. In our previous study, we found that prenylated rab acceptor 1 domain family member 2 (PRAF2) is an oncogene in ...
Pyrogens cause shock symptoms when released into the bloodstream. They are classified into two main categories: endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) and non-endotoxin pyrogens. The monocyte activation test (MAT) is an in vitro assay to detect pyrog...
Transport proteins play a crucial role in cellular metabolism and are central to many aspects of molecular biology and medicine. Determining the function of transport proteins experimentally is challenging, as they become unstable when isolated from ...
BACKGROUND: The pathophysiologic heterogeneity of heart failure (HF) necessitates a more detailed identification of diagnostic biomarkers that can reflect its diverse pathogenic pathways.
