Serum level of soluble HER2/neu in patients with tumors characterized by high expression of this protein (2+/3+ according to immunohistochemical analysis) was significantly higher than in patients with low expression of HER2/neu and in women with benign diseases of the mammary glands. The level of HER2/neu in the serum decreased after removal of the primary tumor in the majority of patients.

Effect of Glycoconjugation on Cytotoxicity and Selectivity of 8-Aminoquinoline Derivatives Compared to 8-Hydroxyquinoline.

Molecules

Department of Organic Chemistry, Bioorganic Chemistry and Biotechnology, Silesian University of Technology, B. Krzywoustego 4, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland.

Numerous emerging chemotherapeutic agents incorporate -heterocyclic fragments in their structures, with the quinoline skeleton being particularly significant. Our recent works have focused on glycoconjugates of 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ), which demonstrated enhanced bioavailability and solubility compared to their parent compounds, although they fell short in selectivity. In this study, our objective was to improve the selectivity of glycoconjugates by replacing the oxygen atom with nitrogen by substituting the 8-HQ moiety with 8-aminoquinoline (8-AQ).

To investigate the impact of tea polyphenols on the thermodynamic properties, gelatinization properties, rheological properties, and digestion characteristics of starch after ball milling, canna starch and tea polyphenols were mixed at a 10:1 ratio (/) in an experiment and processed with different ball milling times. After ball milling for 3 h, the tea polyphenols and starch fragments formed complexes. Compared with the unmilled mixture, the solubility increased by 199.

Fc-binding nanodisc restores antiviral efficacy of antibodies with reduced neutralizing effects against evolving SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Department of Integrative Biotechnology, College of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, 16419, Republic of Korea.

Passive antibody therapies, typically administered via parenteral routes, have played a crucial role in the initial response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the ongoing evolution of SARS-CoV-2 has revealed significant limitations of this approach, primarily due to mutational escape and the inadequate delivery of antibodies to the upper respiratory tract. To overcome these challenges, we propose a novel prophylactic strategy involving the intranasal delivery of an antibody in combination with an Fc-binding nanodisc.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF) poses a substantial burden on healthcare systems and society, necessitating effective diagnostic tools for enhanced patient management. The soluble suppression of tumorigenesis 2 protein (Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenesis 2 (sST2)) has emerged as a promising biomarker linked to cardiac remodeling and fibrosis. This study investigates Soluble Suppression of Tumorigenesis 2 (sST2)'s potential as a diagnostic and prognostic marker for chronic heart failure (CHF) and explores its clinical utility in predicting outcomes.
