The usefulness of the higher-order structure information provided by hydrogen/deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) in the protein therapeutic field is undisputed; however, its applicability as a method for critical quality and comparability assessment has until now not been demonstrated. Here we present results demonstrating for the first time the applicability of the HDX-MS technique to monitor structural changes due to methionine oxidation at sensitivity levels realistic to the requirements of biopharmaceutical research and development. For the analyzed heavy chain marker peptides deuterium uptake differences due to oxidation at the conserved methionine in position 254 were significantly verifiable at the lowest increase (1%) through spiked oxidized IgG1.

Metabolically stable apelin analogs: development and functional role in water balance and cardiovascular function.

Clin Sci (Lond)

Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Biology, College de France, Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale, Paris, France.

Apelin, a (neuro) vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling water balance and cardiovascular functions. Apelin and its receptor co-localize with vasopressin in magnocellular vasopressinergic neurons. Apelin receptors (Apelin-Rs) are also expressed in the collecting ducts of the kidney, where vasopressin type 2 receptors are also present.

Both DNA replication and RNA transcription utilize genomic DNA as their template, necessitating spatial and temporal separation of these processes. Conflicts between the replication and transcription machinery, termed transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs), pose a considerable risk to genome stability, a critical factor in cancer development. While several factors regulating these collisions have been identified, pinpointing primary causes remains difficult due to limited tools for direct visualization and clear interpretation.

Insights and Opportunities from Multimarker Evaluation of Heart Failure: Lessons from BIOSTAT-HF.

Curr Heart Fail Rep

January 2025

Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, University of California, 9394 Medical Center Drive, La Jolla, San Diego, CA, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Heart failure is a complex and heterogenous disease state that affects millions worldwide. Over recent decades, advancements in medical therapy and device implementation have significantly transformed the landscape of heart failure outcomes, while improvements in imaging modalities and greater accessibility to genome sequencing have led to increasing recognition of distinct heart failure endotypes. There is rising evidence to suggest all patients do not benefit equally from intensification of guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT).
