We have combined 2-D SDS-PAGE with liquid chromatography-high resolving mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to explore the proteome of the adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) at the level of post translational modifications (PTMs). The experimental design included in-solution digestion, followed by titanium dioxide enrichment, as well as in-gel digestion of polypeptides after separation of Ad2 capsid proteins by 1-D and 2-D SDS-PAGE. All samples were analyzed using LC-MS with subsequent manual verification of PTM positions. The results revealed new phosphorylation sites that can explain the observed trains of protein spots observed for the pIII, pIIIa and pIV proteins. The pIIIa protein was found to be the most highly modified protein with now 18 verified sites of phosphorylation, three sites of nitrated tyrosine and one sulfated tyrosine. Nitrated tyrosines were also identified in pII. Lysine acetylations were detected in pII and pVI. The findings make the Ad2 virion much more complex than hitherto believed.

Background: Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play critical roles in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the locations of PTM-modified sites across protein secondary structures and regulatory patterns in HCC remain largely uncharacterized.
Methods: Total proteome and nine PTMs (phosphorylation, acetylation, crotonylation, ubiquitination, lactylation, N-glycosylation, succinylation, malonylation, and β-hydroxybutyrylation) in tumor sections and paired normal adjacent tissues derived from 18 HCC patients were systematically profiled by 4D-Label free proteomics analysis combined with PTM-based peptide enrichment.

Objectives: Malnutrition is very common in people with cancer. The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) recommendation on criteria has been proposed as a gold standard for diagnosing malnutrition. The diagnosis of malnutrition includes phenotypic criteria such as unintentional weight loss and etiologic criteria such as reduced food intake.

Background: A comprehensive understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of chronic pancreatitis (CP), a fibroinflammatory disorder of the pancreas, is warranted for the development of targeted therapies. The current study focused on comparing the transcriptomes of pancreatic tissues obtained from patients with CP with those of two rodent models of chemically induced CP to identify dysregulated genes/signaling pathways.
Methods: Pancreatitis was induced in mice using cerulein and L-arginine.

Background: Liver pathologies represent a spectrum of conditions ranging from fatty liver to the aggressive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as well as parasitic infections, which collectively pose substantial global health challenges. S-palmitoylation (commonly referred to as palmitoylation), a post-translational modification (PTM) characterized by the covalent linkage of a 16-carbon palmitic acid (PA) chain to specific cysteine residues on target proteins, plays a pivotal role in diverse cellular functions and is intimately associated with the liver's physiological and pathological states.
Aim Of Review: This study aims to elucidate how protein palmitoylation affects liver disease pathophysiology and evaluates its potential as a target for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.

Institut für Psychologie, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany.
Background: This paper reports on the outcomes of a proof-of-principle study for the Exposure Therapy Consortium, a global network of researchers and clinicians who work to improve the effectiveness and uptake of exposure therapy. The study aimed to test the feasibility of the consortium's big-team science approach and test the hypothesis that adding post-exposure processing focused on enhancing threat reappraisal would enhance the efficacy of a one-session large-group interoceptive exposure therapy protocol for reducing anxiety sensitivity.
Methods: The study involved a multi-site cluster-randomized controlled trial comparing exposure with post-processing (ENHANCED), exposure without post-processing (STANDARD), and a stress management intervention (CONTROL) in students with elevated anxiety sensitivity.
