Multi-laboratory experiment PME11 for the standardization of phosphoproteome analysis
(Elsevier, 2022-01-16)
[EN] Global analysis of protein phosphorylation by mass spectrometry proteomic techniques has emerged in the last decades as a powerful tool in biological and biomedical research. However, there are several factors that ...
Preformulation Studies of a Stable PTEN-PDZ Lipopeptide Able to Cross an In Vitro Blood-Brain-Barrier Model as a Potential Therapy for Alzheimer's Disease
(Springer, 2020-08-04)
PurposeAmyloid beta (A beta) drives the accumulation of excess Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog Deleted on Chromosome 10 (PTEN) at synapses, inducing synaptic depression and perturbing memory. This recruitment of PTEN to ...
Mitochondrial Membrane Tension Governs Fission
(Elsevier, 2021-04-13)
During mitochondrial fission, key molecular and cellular factors assemble on the outer mitochondrial membrane, where they coordinate to generate constriction. Constriction sites can eventually divide or reverse upon ...
Optimization of the Bioactivation of Isoflavones in Soymilk by Lactic Acid Bacteria
(MDPI, 2021-05-28)
Soybeans and soy-based products contain isoflavones which can be used for nutraceutical and medical applications. In soybeans and in unfermented soy foods, isoflavones are normally present as glycosides. Isoflavone glycosides ...
Structural Characterization of the ICOS/ICOS-L Immune Complex Reveals High Molecular Mimicry by Therapeutic Antibodies
(Nature, 2020-10-08)
The inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) is a member of the CD28/B7 superfamily, and delivers a positive co-stimulatory signal to activated T cells upon binding to its ligand (ICOS-L). Dysregulation of this pathway has been ...
Stromal oncostatin M cytokine promotes breast cancer progression by reprogramming the tumor microenvironment
(American Society of Clinical Investigation, 2022-04-01)
[EN] The tumor microenvironment (TME) is reprogrammed by cancer cells and participates in all stages of tumor progression. The contribution of stromal cells to the reprogramming of the TME is not well understood. Here, we ...
Unveiling the activation dynamics of a fold-switch bacterial glycosyltransferase by 19F NMR
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2020-07-17)
Fold-switch pathways remodel the secondary structure topology of proteins in response to the cellular environment. It is a major challenge to understand the dynamics of these folding processes. Here, we conducted an in-depth ...
Microfluidic chip with pillar arrays for controlled production and observation of lipid membrane nanotubes
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-08-07)
Lipid membrane nanotubes (NTs) are a widespread template forin vitrostudies of cellular processes happening at high membrane curvature. Traditionally NTs are manufactured one by one, using sophisticated membrane ...
Phosphatidic Acid Stimulates Myoblast Proliferation through Interaction with LPA1 and LPA2 Receptors
(MDPI, 2021-02-01)
Phosphatidic acid (PA) is a bioactive phospholipid capable of regulating key biological functions, including neutrophil respiratory burst, chemotaxis, or cell growth and differentiation. However, the mechanisms whereby PA ...
A fluorogenic cyclic peptide for imaging and quantification of drug-induced apoptosis
(Nature, 2020-08-12)
Programmed cell death or apoptosis is a central biological process that is dysregulated in many diseases, including inflammatory conditions and cancer. The detection and quantification of apoptotic cells in vivo is hampered ...
