Identification of Allobaculum mucolyticum as a novel human intestinal mucin degrader

The human gut microbiota plays a central role in intestinal health and disease. Yet, many of its bacterial constituents are functionally still largely unexplored. A crucial prerequisite for bacterial survival and proliferation is the creation and/or exploi ...

Cryo-EM, X-ray diffraction, and atomistic simulations reveal determinants for the formation of a supramolecular myelin-like proteolipid lattice

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Myelin protein P2 is a peripheral membrane protein of the fatty acid–binding protein family that functions in the formation and maintenance of the peripheral nerve myelin sheath. Several P2 gene mutations cause human Charcot–Marie–Tooth neuropathy, but the ...

Classification of Healthy and Cancer States of Colon Epithelial Tissues Using Opto-magnetic Imaging Spectroscopy

Marko Baros, Ivan Dimitrijevic

Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) as a major health problem in industrialized countries is highly preventable and can be successfully treated in the early stages. However, incidence and mortality of CRC has increased over the last two decades. The reason could be ...

Lipid membrane characterization with second harmonic scattering : surface potentials, ionization, membrane asymmetry and hydration

Cornelis Ulrich Lütgebaucks

Membranes, composed of a variety of lipids and other biomolecules, mediate signaling processes between cells and their aqueous environment. To fulfill this function, membranes can vary their composition leaflet-specific and thus alter their surface propert ...

Interplay between cytoskeletal forces, membrane tension and shape in rapidly migrating cells

Chiara Gabella

Cell migration is a fundamental process in all animal cells. The ability of cell to migrate is crucial for many pathological and physiological conditions such as morphogenesis, the immune response to inflammatory or vascular diseases and cancer metastasis. ...

An in vivo neovascularization assay for screening regulators of angiogenesis and assessing their effects on pre-existing vessels

Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Marcin Stefan Zielinski

Therapeutic regulation of tissue vascularization has appeared as an attractive approach to treat a number of human diseases. In vivo neovascularization assays that reflect physiological and pathological formation of neovessels are important in this effort. ...

Coronaviruses Hijack the LC3-I-Positive EDEMosomes, ER-Derived Vesicles Exporting Short-Lived ERAD Regulators, for Replication

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

Coronaviruses (CoV), including SARS and mouse hepatitis virus (MHV), are enveloped RNA viruses that induce formation of double-membrane vesicles (DMVs) and target their replication and transcription complexes (RTCs) on the DMV-limiting membranes. The DMV b ...

Dermal collagen and lipid deposition correlate with tissue swelling and hydraulic conductivity in murine primary lymphedema

Melody Swartz, Joseph Rutkowski

Primary lymphedema is a congenital pathology of dysfunctional lymphatic drainage characterized by swelling of the limbs, thickening of the dermis, and fluid and lipid accumulation in the underlying tissue. Two mouse models of primary lymphedema, the Chy mo ...

Effects of dynamic compression on lentiviral transduction in an in vitro airway wall model

Melody Swartz, Alice Anna Tomei

Asthmatic patients are more susceptible to viral infection, and we asked whether dynamic strain on the airway wall (such as that associated with bronchoconstriction) would influence the rate of viral infection of the epithelial and subepithelial cells. To ...

Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin in the hamster cheek pouch tumor model: comparison with clinical measurements

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Alain Woodtli

The pharmacokinetics (PK) of the photosensitizer tetra(m-hydroxyphenyl)chlorin (mTHPC) was measured by optical fiber-based light-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (LIFS) in the normal and tumoral cheek pouch mucosa of 29 Golden Syrian hamsters with chem. i ...
