Introduction: Sepsis, like neutropenic sepsis, is a medical condition in which our body overreacts to infectious agents. It is associated with damage to normal tissues and organs by the immune system, which leads to the spread of inflammation throughout our body. Of note, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to have a critical role in the sepsis progression.

Effects of Ab501 (certolizumab mice equivalent) in arthritis induced bone loss.

Introduction - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease, which causes local and systemic bone damage. The main goal of this work was to analyze, how treatment intervention with Ab501 (certolizumab mice equivalent) prevents the disturbances on bone structure and mechanics induced by arthritis. Methods - Thirty DBA/1 collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mice were randomly housed in experimental groups, as follows: arthritic untreated (N=9), preventive intervention (N=10) and treatment intervention (N=11).

Challenges of Investigating Compartmentalized Brain Energy Metabolism Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy in vivo.

Neurochem Res

January 2025

Department of Experimental Medical Science, Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.

Brain function requires continuous energy supply. Thus, unraveling brain metabolic regulation is critical not only for our basic understanding of overall brain function, but also for the cellular basis of functional neuroimaging techniques. While it is known that brain energy metabolism is exquisitely compartmentalized between astrocytes and neurons, the metabolic and neuro-energetic basis of brain activity is far from fully understood.

End-Point Affinity Estimation of Galectin Ligands by Classical and Semiempirical Quantum Mechanical Potentials.

J Chem Inf Model

January 2025

Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, Gilead Sciences & IOCB Research Centre, Flemingovo nám. 2, 166 10 Prague, Czech Republic.

The use of quantum mechanical potentials in protein-ligand affinity prediction is becoming increasingly feasible with growing computational power. To move forward, validation of such potentials on real-world challenges is necessary. To this end, we have collated an extensive set of over a thousand galectin inhibitors with known affinities and docked them into galectin-3.
