PDA modification and properties of α-AlH.

We present a novel surface coating to resolve the stability of α-AlH Inspired by the strong chemical adhesion of mussels, the polymerization of dopamine was first introduced to coat α-AlH through simple situ polymerization. The α-AlH was used as a substrate. In-depth characterizations confirmed the formation of polydopamine (PDA) on the α-AlH surface.

Reciprocal regulation between O-GlcNAcylation and tribbles pseudokinase 2 (TRIB2) maintains transformative phenotypes in liver cancer cells.

TRIB2 has been identified as an onco-protein, and O-GlcNAcylation of target proteins has been reported to stimulate transformative phenotypes in liver cancer cells. However, the relationships between TRIB2 and O-GlcNAcylation are still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate whether and how O-GlcNAcylation and TRIB2 regulate each other.

Association between Affinity of Anti-HCV Antibodies and Viral Load in Patients with HCV Infection: a New Method to Estimate Patients' Immune Status.

Background: The status of immune response to HCV infection cannot be accurately predicted by the HCV antibody test alone. Our paper aims to explore differences in total activity, quantity, and affinity of anti-HCV antibodies in patients with HCV infection, proposing a novel measurement of antibody affinity and providing a promising understanding into immune response to HCV.

Methods: Serum samples from 106 patients with HCV infection were collected.
