Global warming increases the risk of dangerous heat waves, which may have deleterious effects on humans and wildlife. Here, we have utilized zebrafish embryos as a model to analyze heat…
Comparative proteomics analysis of the mouse mini-gut organoid: insights into markers of gluten challenge from celiac disease intestinal biopsies
INTRODUCTION: Organoid models enable three-dimensional representation of cellular systems, providing flexible and accessible research tools, and can highlight key biomolecules. Such models of the intestinal epithelium can provide significant knowledge…
Phenotypic profiling of human induced regulatory T cells at early differentiation: insights into distinct immunosuppressive potential
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a key role in suppressing systemic effector immune responses, thereby preventing autoimmune diseases but also potentially contributing to tumor progression. Thus, there is great interest…
SHANK3 depletion leads to ERK signalling overdose and cell death in KRAS-mutant cancers
The KRAS oncogene drives many common and highly fatal malignancies. These include pancreatic, lung, and colorectal cancer, where various activating KRAS mutations have made the development of KRAS inhibitors difficult.
Serum lipidome associates with neuroimaging features in patients with traumatic brain injury
Acute traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with substantial abnormalities in lipid biology, including changes in the structural lipids that are present in the myelin in the brain. We investigated…
Hypoxia and Foxn1 alter the proteomic signature of dermal fibroblasts to redirect scarless wound healing to scar-forming skin wound healing in Foxn1-/- mice
CONCLUSIONS: The present data highlight the effect of hypoxia and Foxn1 on the protein profile and functionality of regenerative Foxn1^(-/-) DFs and demonstrate that the introduction of Foxn1 and Hif-1α…
Disruption of HSD17B12 in mouse hepatocytes leads to reduced body weight and defect in the lipid droplet expansion associated with microvesicular steatosis
The function of hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 12 (HSD17B12) in lipid metabolism is poorly understood. To study this further, we created mice with hepatocyte-specific knockout of HSD17B12 (LiB12cKO). From 2 months on,…
Lower Plasma Levels of Selective VGF (Non-Acronymic) Peptides in Bipolar Disorder: Comparative Analysis Reveals Distinct Patterns across Mood Disorders and Healthy Controls
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that lower plasma levels of NAPP and AQEE are specifically associated with BD, thus possibly representing a diagnostic biomarker in mood disorders.
Young Investigator Award in immunology to Carlos Rogerio Figueiredo
InFLAMES group leader, Docent Carlos Rogerio Figueiredo, has received the Young Investigator Award from the Scandinavian Society for Immunology. The award was announced at the European Congress of Immunology in…
