Identification of pyroptosis related genes and subtypes in atherosclerosis using multiomic and single cell analysis.

Scientific reports
Atherosclerosis (AS), the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases, is a chronic inflammatory disorder involving lipid metabolism, immune dysregulation, and cell death. Pyroptosis, a form of inflammatory programmed cell death, is implicated in AS pro...

Visualizing nuclear pore complex plasticity with pan-expansion microscopy.

The Journal of cell biology
The exploration of cell-type and environmentally responsive nuclear pore complex (NPC) plasticity requires new, accessible tools. Using pan-expansion microscopy (pan-ExM), NPCs were identified by machine learning-facilitated segmentation. They exhibi...

Evaluation of the effect of cell freshness on pyrogen detection using a serum-free monocyte-activation test.

PloS one
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...

Prostate Cancer Nodal Staging: Using Deep Learning to Predict Ga-PSMA-Positivity from CT Imaging Alone.

Scientific reports
Lymphatic spread determines treatment decisions in prostate cancer (PCa) patients. 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT can be performed, although cost remains high and availability is limited. Therefore, computed tomography (CT) continues to be the most used modality f...

Structure-function properties of hypolipidemic peptides.

Journal of food biochemistry
This review addresses the structure-function properties of hypolipidemic peptides. The cholesterol-lowering peptide (lactostatin: IIAEK) operates via a new regulatory pathway in the calcium-channel-related mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) sign...

Candida albicans-derived mannoproteins activate NF-κB in reporter cells expressing TLR4, MD2 and CD14.

PloS one
The ability of soluble C. albicans 20A (serotype A) mannoprotein (CMP) to serve as a ligand for toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its co-receptors was examined using commercially available and stably-transfected HEK293 cells that express human TLR4, MD...

Expression of rabies virus glycoprotein in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris.

Biotechnology and applied biochemistry
Rabies is a fatal disease that can be prevented by vaccination. Different approaches were investigated to develop novel human rabies vaccines with improved features compared to the current available vaccines, among them is the use of heterologous gen...

Estimating glucose requirements of an activated immune system in growing pigs.

Journal of animal science
Activated immune cells become obligate glucose utilizers, and a large i.v. lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dose causes insulin resistance and severe hypoglycemia. Therefore, study objectives were to quantify the amount of glucose needed to maintain euglycem...
