The effects of uremic serum on the in vitro growth of normal BFU-E and on the burst-promoting activity by normal T-lymphocytes were evaluated separately. The effect of hemodialysis on the removal of possible serum inhibitor(s) was also tested. Sera of 12 uremic patients were shown to provoke a 60% inhibition of the in vitro growth of normal BFU-E and almost complete abolition of burst-promoting activity by T lymphocytes. While hemodialysis significantly removed the inhibition of uremic sera on BFU-E growth, it was rather ineffective in removing the inhibitor(s) of T lymphocytes. The different effects of uremic serum on BFU-E and on T lymphocytes are discussed.

Target cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) inhibitors; 5-([2,5-Dihydroxybenzyl]amino)salicylamides (Compounds 1-11) were examined for potential anticancer activity, with a trial to assess the underlying possible mechanisms. Compounds were assessed at a single dose against 60 cancer cell lines panel and those with the highest activity were tested in the five-dose assay. COMPARE analysis was conducted to explore potential mechanisms underlying their biological activity.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common and highly lethal cancers worldwide. RIO kinase 1 (RIOK1), a protein kinase/ATPase that plays a key role in regulating translation and ribosome assembly, is associated with a variety of malignant tumors. However, the role of RIOK1 in HCC remains largely unknown.

Background: Histone H2B is highly expressed in many types of cancers and is involved in cancer development. H2B clustered histone 9 (H2BC9), a member of the H2B family, plays critical roles in gene expression regulation, chromosome structure, DNA repair stability, and cell cycle regulation. However, the diagnostic and prognostic value of H2BC9 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear.

Diabetic wounds are characterized by chronic inflammation, reduced angiogenesis, and insufficient collagen deposition, leading to impaired healing. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSC) offer a promising cell-free therapeutic strategy, yet their efficacy and immunomodulation can be enhanced through bioactivation. In this study, we developed calcium silicate (CS)-stimulated ADSC-derived EVs (CSEV) incorporated into collagen hydrogels to create a sustained-release system for promoting diabetic wound healing.

Fungal lignocellulolytic enzymes: an in silico and full factorial design approach.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Graduate Program in Bioscience Technologies, Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Toledo, Paraná, Brazil.

Efficient degradation of lignocellulosic biomass is key for the production of value-added products, contributing to sustainable and renewable solutions. This study employs a two-step approach to evaluate lignocellulolytic enzymes of Ceratocystis paradoxa, Colletotrichum falcatum, and Sporisorium scitamineum. First, an in silico genomic analysis was conducted to predict the potential enzyme groups produced by these fungi.
