The development of non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals with biocompatible and efficient antibacterial properties is of great significance for the treatment of bacterial keratitis. In this study, we have developed antibacterial iron-doped nanozymes…
Novel coumarin-6-sulfonamide-chalcone hybrids as glutathione transferase P1-1 inhibitors
Multidrug resistance (MDR) mechanisms in cancer cells are greatly influenced by glutathione transferase P1-1 (hGSTP1-1). The use of synthetic or natural compounds as hGSTP1-1 inhibitors is considered an effective approach…
7.8 Euros MEUR of Horizon Europe funding to Cecilia Sahlgren and Hongbo Zhang
The NAP4DIVE project of TBC group leaders Cecilia Sahlgren and Hongbo Zhang were awarded 7.8 MEUR of Horizon Europe funding (Total 7.8 million euro, ÅAU cut 2.4 million euro).
Turku Bioscience Centre researchers founded a cancer diagnostics start-up company
Modern cancer treatment aims for the most effective treatment possible, which would cause the patients as few side effects as possible. The individual choice of treatment for each patient, however,…
CellTracksColab is a platform that enables compilation, analysis, and exploration of cell tracking data
In life sciences, tracking objects from movies enables researchers to quantify the behavior of single particles, organelles, bacteria, cells, and even whole animals. While numerous tools now allow automated tracking…
Utilizing Macrophages Missile for Sulfate-Based Nanomedicine Delivery in Lung Cancer Therapy
Nanomaterial-based drug delivery systems are susceptible to premature drug leakage and systemic toxicity due to lack of specific targeting, and live-cell drug delivery is also prone to be restricted by…
Synaptic proteome perturbations after maternal immune activation: Identification of embryonic and adult hippocampal changes
CONCLUSIONS: Our data emphasise the dynamic effects of viral-like MIA on developing and mature hippocampi and provide novel targets for study following prenatal immune challenges. The 22 proteins that changed…
Gene Regulatory Network Analysis of Decidual Stromal Cells and Natural Killer Cells
Human reproductive success relies on the proper differentiation of the uterine endometrium to facilitate implantation, formation of the placenta, and pregnancy. This process involves two critical types of decidual uterine…
Inferring Tree-Shaped Single-Cell Trajectories with Totem
Single-cell transcriptomics allows unbiased characterization of cell heterogeneity in a sample by profiling gene expression at single-cell level. These profiles capture snapshots of transient or steady states in dynamic processes,…
HSV-1 and Cellular miRNAs in CSF-Derived Exosomes as Diagnostically Relevant Biomarkers for Neuroinflammation
Virus-associated chronic inflammation may contribute to autoimmunity in a number of diseases. In the brain, autoimmune encephalitis appears related to fluctuating reactivation states of neurotropic viruses. In addition, viral miRNAs…
