Neurocognition and NMDAR co-agonists pathways in individuals with treatment resistant first-episode psychosis: a 3-year follow-up longitudinal study

This study aims to determine whether 1) individuals with treatment-resistant schizophrenia display early cognitive impairment compared to treatment-responders and healthy controls and 2) N-methyl-D-aspartate-receptor hypofunction is an underlying mechanism ...

A Rapid Translational Immune Response Program in CD8 Memory T Lymphocytes

Linlin Cao

The activation of memory T cells is a very rapid and concerted cellular response that requires coordination between cellular processes in different compartments and on different time scales. In this study, we use ribosome profiling and deep RNA sequencing ...

Dissecting the role of the asparagine synthesis in acute liver injury

Yu Sun

Amino acids are some of the main building stones of life used in a variety of biological processes, such as protein synthesis, energy metabolism or even as precursors for hormone synthesis. How-ever, some of them also participate and coordinate certain cel ...

De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available

Manuel Leonardo Merz

Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...

Microhydration of Biomolecules: Revealing the Native Structures by Cold Ion IR Spectroscopy

Andrei Zviagin, Viktoriia Aladinskaia

The native-like structures of protonated glycine and peptide Gly3H+ were elucidated using cold ion IR spectroscopy of these biomolecules hydrated by a controlled number of water molecules. The complexes were generated directly from an aqueous solution usin ...

Impairment of Glycolysis-Derived L-Serine Production in Astrocytes Contributes to Cognitive Deficits in Alzheimer's Disease

Graham Knott

Alteration of brain aerobic glycolysis is often observed early in the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that th ...

Metabolomics reveals tepotinib‐related mitochondrial dysfunction in MET activating mutations‐driven models

Katarzyna Pierzchala

Genetic aberrations in the hepatocyte growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase MET induce oncogenic addiction in various types of human cancers, advocating MET as a viable anticancer target. Here, we report that MET signaling plays an important role in confe ...

The Structure of the Protonated Serine Octamer

Ursula Röthlisberger, Thomas Rizzo, Stephan Warnke, Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez, Valeriu Scutelnic, Aurelien Stephen Arnaud Gregor, Carsten Baldauf

The amino acid serine has long been known to form a protonated “magic-number” cluster containing eight monomer units that shows an unusually high abundance in mass spectra and has a remarkable homochiral preference. Despite many experimental and theoretica ...

Cryogenic infrared spectroscopy as a probe of structure and dynamics of biomolecules

Valeriu Scutelnic

The pivotal theory of molecular biology states that the structure of biomolecules is directly related to their function in living systems. In this way, the structural investigation of biological molecules allows understanding and intervening in the fundame ...

Calcium phosphate formation on titanium-based surfaces: bioactivity evaluated by in vitro methods

Weitian Zhao

The prediction of implant behaviors in vivo by the use of easy-to-perform in vitro methods is of great interest in biomaterials research. In the field of bone implants, it is commonly accepted that a spontaneous formation of a hydroxyapatite (HA) layer on ...
