Stat3 is a latent transcription factor that exhibits elevated activity in a variety of human cancers. To find a lead peptide for peptidomimetic drug development we synthesized and tested phosphopeptides derived from known receptor docking sites and found Y(p)LPQTV as the optimal sequence. SAR studies showed that each residue from pY to pY+3 provided binding energy.

Background: Aggregated TDP-43 is found as the main component of pathological inclusions in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), in 50% of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), and is present as co-pathology in other neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Biofluid or imaging biomarkers of TDP-43 pathology are currently unavailable. Direct detection of TDP-43 aggregates holds promise for unraveling the pathobiology of disease and for enabling precision medicine approach via improved diagnosis, patient stratification and assessment of therapeutic efficacy in clinical trials in AD and related diseases.

Background: The increasing prevalence of dementia globally, including Germany, necessitates effective strategies to reduce the burden on patients, caregivers, and healthcare systems. Risk factor prevention plays a crucial role in delaying the onset of severe symptoms and alleviating the strain on resources.
Method: This study focuses on identifying the requirements of a digital healthcare application for risk factor prevention in dementia within the German public healthcare system.

Aptamers are synthetic oligonucleotides that bind with high affinity and specificity to various targets, making them invaluable for diagnostics, therapeutics, and biosensing. Microfluidic platforms can improve the efficiency and scalability of aptamer selection, especially through advancements in systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) methods. Microfluidic SELEX methods are less time-consuming and labor-intensive and include critical steps like library preparation, binding, partitioning, and amplification.

β-Lactams are the most widely used antibiotics for the treatment of bacterial infections because of their proven track record of safety and efficacy. However, susceptibility to β-lactam antibiotics is continually eroded by resistance mechanisms. Emerging multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains possessing altered alleles (encoding PBP2) pose a global health emergency as they threaten the utility of ceftriaxone, the last remaining outpatient antibiotic.

Background: Bovine IgG1 Fc receptor (boFcγRI) is a homologue to human FcγRI (CD64) that has three extracellular Ig-like domains and can bind bovine IgG1 with high affinity. Identification of the linear epitope for Fc-binding on boFcγRI provides new insights for the IgG-Fcγ interaction and FcγR-targeting drugs development.
Methods: The boFcγRI molecules were expressed on cell surface of the boFcγRI -transfected COS-7 cells.
