Elevation of truncated (48 kDa) form of unconventional myosin 1C in blood serum correlates with severe Covid-19.

In Covid-19 and autoimmune patients, there are several similarities revealed in the immune responses (Liu et al., 2021; Woodruff et al., 2020).

The Exposure to Human Breast Cancer Cells Altered 14 Post-Translational Modifications of Human Serum Albumin.

Purpose: Serum albumin is in contact with practically all cells in the human body, including tumor cells in cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to explore whether cancer cells affect post-translational modifications (PTMs) of albumin.

Material And Methods: Mass spectrometry was used to identify the PTMs.

Proteomic analysis of exposed to lead (Pb) stress reveal new proteins with potential roles in Pb tolerance and detoxification mechanism.

Soil lead (Pb) contamination is one of the environmental problems facing the modern world. Sources of Pb in soil include industrial activities such as mining and smelting processes, agricultural activities such as application of insecticide and municipal sewage sludges, and urban activities such as use of lead in gasoline, paints, and other materials. Phytoremediation is the direct use of living green plants and is an effective, cheap, non-invasive, and environmentally friendly technique used to transfer or stabilize all the toxic metals and environmental pollutants in polluted soil or groundwater.

A LONG-TERM 10G-HYPERGRAVITY EXPOSURE PROMOTES CELL-CELL CONTACTS AND REDUCES ADHESIVENESS TO A SUBSTRATE, MIGRATION, AND INVASIVENESS OF MCF-7HUMAN BREAST CANCER CELLS.

Background: G-force is a fundamental force controlling human cells. Cancer is one of the 4 major health challenges in the Space missions. Cancer in Space project evaluates the reaction of human cancer cells to the conditions of the space flights, including an exposure to high g-forces.

Novel Post-translational Modifications in Human Serum Albumin.

Aim: This study aims to identify novel post-translational modifications in human serum albumin by mass spectrometry.

Background: Serum albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma, has many physiological functions, and is in contact with most of the cells and tissues of the human body. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) may affect functions, stability, and localization of albumin.
