Two infants presented with multiple asymptomatic papules and geographic and annular plaques over the extensor aspect of the upper and lower extremities and trunk. Skin biopsy of both lesions showed plugged and hyperplastic dilated acrosryingia and deep dermal ducts, along with granulomatous inflammatory reaction. These lesions showed self-healing with complete resolution. A previous report described similar clinical and histopathologic features and labeled it giant centrifugal miliaria profunda. Because of the large granulomatous plaques and deep infiltrate, we propose that it was a granulomatous variant of giant centrifugal miliaria profunda. We report these cases for their rarity and self-healing nature.

Transcriptomic analysis of spleen-derived macrophages in response to lipopolysaccharide shows dependency on the MyD88-independent pathway in Chinese giant salamanders (Andrias davidianus).

Article Synopsis
- Gram-negative bacteria are significant pathogens for Chinese giant salamanders, causing economic issues, but the mechanisms of how they lead to infection are not well understood.
- A macrophage transcriptome database was created from healthy salamanders, revealing thousands of differentially expressed genes involved in immune response pathways following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
- The study found that CGS macrophage activation may rely on a non-classical MyD88 pathway rather than typical TLR4 signaling, offering new insights into amphibian immunity and potential disease prevention strategies.
Construction of Out-of-Equilibrium Metabolic Networks in Nano- and Micrometer-Sized Vesicles.

Department of Biochemistry, University of Groningen;
We present a method to incorporate into vesicles complex protein networks, involving integral membrane proteins, enzymes, and fluorescence-based sensors, using purified components. This method is relevant for the design and construction of bioreactors and the study of complex out-of-equilibrium metabolic reaction networks. We start by reconstituting (multiple) membrane proteins into large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) according to a previously developed protocol.

In the quest to produce artificial cells, one key challenge that remains to be solved is the recreation of a complex cellular membrane. Among the existing models, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) are particularly interesting due to their intrinsic compartmentalisation ability and their resemblance in size and shape to eukaryotic cells. Many techniques have been developed to produce GUVs all having inherent advantages and disadvantages.

Army Liposome Formulation with QS21 (ALFQ), a vaccine adjuvant preparation, comprises liposomes containing saturated phospholipids, with 55 mol% cholesterol relative to the phospholipids, and two adjuvants, monophosphoryl lipid A (MPLA) and QS21 saponin. A unique feature of ALFQ is the formation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) having diameters >1.0 µm, due to a remarkable fusion event initiated during the addition of QS21 to nanoliposomes containing MPLA and 55 mol% cholesterol relative to the total phospholipids.
