The antibacterial activity of the copper for and depends on its state: metalized, chelated and ionic.

The hypothesis that the antibacterial effect of copper depends on its state was tested. It was studied the antibacterial effect of copper applied to the fabric, copper in chelated and free (ionic) forms on the growth intensity of and in the system after a single or "primary" contact. Classical microbiology methods were used.

Constitutive activity of an atypical chemokine receptor revealed by inverse agonistic nanobodies.

Chemokine stimulation of atypical chemokine receptor 3 (ACKR3) does not activate G proteins but recruits arrestins. It is a chemokine scavenger that indirectly influences responses by restricting the availability of CXCL12, an agonist shared with the canonical receptor CXCR4. ACKR3 is upregulated in numerous disorders.

Multivalent CXCR4-targeting nanobody formats differently affect affinity, receptor clustering, and antagonism.

The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is involved in the development and migration of stem and immune cells but is also implicated in tumor progression and metastasis for a variety of cancers. Antagonizing ligand (CXCL12)-induced CXCR4 signaling is, therefore, of therapeutic interest. Currently, there are two small-molecule CXCR4 antagonists on the market for the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells.

Differential effects of FcRn antagonists on the subcellular trafficking of FcRn and albumin.

The homeostasis of IgG is maintained by the neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn. Consequently, antagonism of FcRn to reduce endogenous IgG levels is an emerging strategy for treating antibody-mediated autoimmune disorders using either FcRn-specific antibodies or an engineered Fc fragment. For certain FcRn-specific antibodies, this approach has resulted in reductions in the levels of serum albumin, the other major ligand transported by FcRn.

[Nonimmunogenic staphylokinase in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (FRIDA trial results)].

Aim Of The Study: To investigate the efficacy and safety of non-immunogenic staphylokinase (NS) compared with alteplase (A) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) within 4.5 h after symptom onset.

Material And Methods: 336 patients with IS within 4.
