Article Synopsis
- Phospholamban (PLN) is a protein that plays a crucial role in heart muscle function by regulating calcium levels, and a specific mutation (R14Δ-PLN) leads to severe heart muscle disease that doesn't respond well to standard treatments.
- Researchers are using a technique called complexome profiling (CP) to analyze how this mutation affects protein complexes in the hearts of mice, but existing methods face challenges because most data is based on cancer cells rather than heart cells.
- To overcome this, a new analysis approach named PERCOM was developed, which identified 296 proteins with altered behaviors in mutant heart tissue, particularly affecting mitochondrial and intercalated disk supercomplexes.
Background: Minimally invasive surgical necrosectomy plays an important role in the management of infected pancreatic necrosis, with a goal of removing debris and debriding necrotic tissue. Pulse lavage is designed to simultaneously hydrostatically debride and remove the infected necrotic tissue with suction. It is also able to remove significant amounts of debris without traumatic manipulation of the necrotic tissue which may be adherent to surrounding tissue and can result in injury.

In our work, we analyzed how heme released during hemorrhage affects hypoxic response and neovascularization. Our retrospective clinical analysis demonstrated, that hemorrhage was associated with more severe retinal neovascularization in ROP patients.

International guidelines suggest that emergency cholecystectomy is the treatment of choice for uncomplicated acute cholecystitis where feasible. There is a paucity of published data on the uptake of emergency cholecystectomy in Ireland.

OXPHOS defects lead to severe human disorders with unexplained tissue specific pathologies. Mitochondrial gene expression is essential for OXPHOS biogenesis since core subunits of the complexes are mitochondrial-encoded.
