The available literature indicates that amino acids can stabilize proteins. Our experimental data demonstrated that lysine and glutamic acid can stabilize recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) at 40°C for at least 1 month, as measured by RP-UPLC. Studies with different excipient concentrations demonstrated optimal concentrations of these amino acids within 10-12 mM.

In an infarction, the lack of oxygen causes an exclusive use of glycolysis, which becomes a crucial source of ATP for the heart with a higher glucose uptake mediated by glucose transporters (GLUTs). Due to the unpleasant effects of antihypertensives, new drugs need to be researched to treat this disease.

A previously identified non-coding SNP in SH3RF3/POSH2 significantly delayed disease onset in a Caribbean Hispanic cohort carrying the PSEN1 mutation sufficient to cause early-onset AD and microglial expression of SH3RF3 has been reported to be a key driver of late-onset AD. SH3RF3 acts as a JNK pathway scaffold and can activate NFκB signaling.
