Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cell 2 (TREM2) is an immunomodulatory receptor that plays a critical role in microglial activation through its association with the adaptor protein DNAX-activation protein 12 (DAP12). Variants in TREM2 have be...
BACKGROUND: Neoadjuvant therapy plays an important role in the treatment of glioblastoma (GBM), but a considerable proportion of patients remain unresponsive to the combination of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) and antiangiogenic therapy. Understan...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
