Influence of Calcium Ion-Modified Implant Surfaces in Protein Adsorption and Implant Integration
(Springer, 2021-04-21)
Background Calcium (Ca) is a well-known element in bone metabolism and blood coagulation. Here, we investigate the link between the protein adsorption pattern and the in vivo responses of surfaces modified with calcium ...
Antibacterial and antifungal activity of the human endometrial fluid during the natural cycle
(Hindawi, 2021-06-16)
[EN] Purpose. Some microbiota patterns have been associated with favorable IVF prognosis and others with pathological conditions. The
endometrial fluid aspirate (EFA) contains antibacterial proteins that are enriched in ...
Protein adsorption/desorption dynamics on Ca-enriched titanium surfaces: biological implications
(Springer, 2021-08-27)
Calcium ions are used in the development of biomaterials for the promotion of coagulation, bone regeneration, and implant osseointegration. Upon implantation, the time-dependent release of calcium ions from titanium implant ...
TREM-2 defends the liver against hepatocellular carcinoma through multifactorial protective mechanisms
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2021-06-07)
[EN] Objective Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a prevalent
and aggressive cancer usually arising on a background
of chronic liver injury involving inflammatory and hepatic
regenerative processes. The triggering receptor ...
Focal accumulation of aromaticity at the CDRH3 loop mitigates 4E10 polyreactivity without altering its HIV neutralization profile
(Cell Press, 2021-09-24)
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) against HIV-1 are frequently associated with the presence of autoreactivity/polyreactivity, a property that can limit their use as therapeutic agents. The bnAb 4E10, targeting the ...
Inhibition of NAE-dependent protein hyper-NEDDylation in cystic cholangiocytes halts cystogenesis in experimental models of polycystic liver disease
(Sage, 2021-09)
Background Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic inherited disorders characterized by the progressive growth of numerous intrahepatic biliary cysts, which are the main cause of morbidity. Previous studies revealed ...
Targeting UBC9-Mediated Protein Hyper-SUMOylation in Cystic Cholangiocytes Halts Polycystic Liver Disease in Experimental Models
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Polycystic liver diseases (PLDs) are genetic disorders characterized by progressive development of multiple fluid-filled biliary cysts. Most PLD-causative genes participate in protein biogenesis and/or ...
Neddylation inhibition ameliorates steatosis in NAFLD by boosting hepatic fatty acid oxidation via DEPTOR-mTOR axis
(Elsevier, 2021-06-18)
[EN] Objective: Neddylation is a druggable and reversible ubiquitin-like post-translational modification upregulated in many diseases, including liver
fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and more recently, non-alcoholic ...
Identification of proximal SUMO-dependent interactors using SUMO-ID
(Nature Research, 2021-11-18)
[EN]The fast dynamics and reversibility of posttranslational modifications by the ubiquitin family pose significant challenges for research. Here we present SUMO-ID, a technology that merges proximity biotinylation by ...
