Recombinant Expression of Photo-crosslinkable 26S Proteasome Base Subcomplex.

The 26S proteasome complex is the hub for regulated protein degradation in the cell. It is composed of two biochemically distinct complexes: the 20S core particle with proteolytic active sites in an internal chamber and the 19S regulatory particle, consisting of a lid and base subcomplex. The base contains ubiquitin receptors and an AAA+ (ATPases associated with various cellular activities) motor that unfolds substrates prior to degradation.

Mapping histological and functional maturation of human endocrine pancreas across early postnatal periods.

Human endocrine cell differentiation and islet morphogenesis play critical roles in determining islet cell mass and function, but the events and timeline of these processes are incompletely defined. To better understand early human islet cell development and maturation, we collected 115 pediatric pancreata and mapped morphological and spatiotemporal changes from birth through the first ten years of life. Using quantitative analyses and a combination of complementary tissue imaging approaches, including confocal microscopy and whole-slide imaging, we developed an integrated model for endocrine cell formation and islet architecture, including endocrine cell type heterogeneity and abundance, endocrine cell proliferation, and islet vascularization and innervation.

UHPLC-MS/MS based comprehensive phenolic profiling, antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of Indian Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits.

Rhodomyrtus tomentosa fruits, endemic to the Western Ghats were analyzed for its free, bound and esterified phenolics by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Overall, twenty-nine phenolic compounds were identified, amongst them 18 were detected in this fruit for the first time. Gallic acid (80.

A phase I study of convection-enhanced delivery (CED) of liposomal-irinotecan using real-time magnetic resonance imaging in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.

Background: Irinotecan demonstrates anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical glioma models but clinical results are modest due to drug delivery limitations. Convection enhanced delivery (CED) improves drug delivery by increasing intratumoral drug concentration. Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of infusate delivery during CED may optimize tumor coverage.

Comprehensive histopathological analysis of gastric cancer in European and Latin America populations reveals differences in PDL1, HER2, p53 and MUC6 expression.

Introduction: Gastric cancer (GC) burden is currently evolving with regional differences associated with complex behavioural, environmental, and genetic risk factors. The LEGACy study is a Horizon 2020-funded multi-institutional research project conducted prospectively to provide comprehensive data on the tumour biological characteristics of gastroesophageal cancer from European and LATAM countries.

Material And Methods: Treatment-naïve advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma patients were prospectively recruited in seven European and LATAM countries.
