Opposed Aromatic Surfaces Behave as Independent Binding Sites for Carbohydrate Stacking: Analysis of Sandwich-like CH/π/CH Complexes.

CH/π bonds are versatile elements for the construction of complex molecular architectures, thus playing key roles in many biomolecular recognition processes. Although seldom acknowledged, aromatic units are inherently bivalent and can participate in CH/π bonds through either face simultaneously, leading to the formation of stacking complexes. This sandwich-like arrangement is by far the most common in natural complexes and could potentially lead to negative cooperativity due to unfavorable polarization or electrostatic effects, especially when polarized CH fragments are involved.

Knock-down of FOXO3, GATA2, NFE2L2 and AHR promotes doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity in human cardiomyocytes.

Recent advances in cancer therapy have substantially increased survival rates among patients, yet the prolonged effect of current treatment regimens with anthracyclines (ACs) often include severe long-term complications, notably in the form of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC). Despite known associations between AC treatment and AIC, a comprehensive understanding of the underlying molecular pathways remains elusive. This gap is highlighted by the scarcity of reliable therapeutic interventions, with dexrazoxane being the sole FDA-approved drug to mitigate AIC risks.

Detection of Tumor-Associated Autoantibodies in the Sera of Pancreatic Cancer Patients Using Engineered MUC1 Glycopeptide Nanoparticle Probes.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, mainly due to late diagnosis. Therefore, there is an urgent need for novel diagnostic approaches to identify the disease as early as possible. We have developed a diagnostic assay for pancreatic cancer based on the detection of naturally occurring tumor associated autoantibodies against Mucin-1 (MUC1) using engineered glycopeptides on nanoparticle probes.

Implementation of Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions classification in patients with cardiogenic shock secondary to acute myocardial infarction in a spanish university hospital.

Background: Killip-Kimball classification has been used for estimating death risk in patients suffering acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Killip-Kimball stage IV corresponds to cardiogenic shock. However, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) classification provides a more precise tool to classify patients according to shock severity.
