Generation of stable suspension producer cell lines for serum-free lentivirus production.

The production of lentiviral vectors (LVs) pseudotyped with the vesicular stomatitis virus envelope glycoprotein (VSV-G) is limited by the associated cytotoxicity of the envelope and by the production methods used, such as transient transfection of adherent cell lines. In this study, we established stable suspension producer cell lines for scalable and serum-free LV production derived from two stable, inducible packaging cell lines, named GPRG and GPRTG. The established polyclonal producer cell lines produce self-inactivating (SIN) LVs carrying a WAS-T2A-GFP construct at an average infectious titer of up to 4.

Bone grafiting combined with Sauvé-Kapandji Procedures for the treatment of aseptic distal radius non-union.

Distal radius fractures are the most common type of upper limb fractures in adults. Non-union after distal radius fracture is rare, serious and unpredictable. The aim of our paper is to analyse the clinical and radiological outcomes of bone grafting and Sauvé-Kapandji Procedures for the treatment of aseptic distal radius non-union.

Strut graft vs. traditional plating in the management of periprosthetic humeral fractures: a multicentric cohort study.

Aim The gradual increase in shoulder implants in active elderly patients has appeared in a parallel increase in periprosthetic humeral fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate the advantages of using strut grafting with plate fixation during periprosthetic humerus fractures. Methods Thirty patients diagnosed with periprosthetic humeral fracture were divided into two groups.

Glyphosate does not substitute for glycine in proteins of actively dividing mammalian cells.

Objectives: Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine) and its commercial herbicide formulations have been shown to exert toxicity via various mechanisms. It has been asserted that glyphosate substitutes for glycine in polypeptide chains leading to protein misfolding and toxicity. However, as no direct evidence exists for glycine to glyphosate substitution in proteins, including in mammalian organisms, we tested this claim by conducting a proteomics analysis of MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells grown in the presence of 100 mg/L glyphosate for 6 days.
