The genes for translational initiation factor, IF2 and pNusA have been cloned into a plasmid vector where they are placed under the control of the inducible lambdapL promoter and the c1857 thermosensitive repressor. When a strain carrying this plasmid is heat induced, IF2 alpha, IF2 beta and pNusA are overproduced 15 to 20 fold. This has allowed us to purify the IF2 and NusA proteins in large amounts.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are expanded in cancer patients, have an intrinsic immunosuppressive function, and thus may play a role in resistance to immunotherapy. Ulceration of the melanoma primary is associated with more aggressive disease and is an independent prognostic factor for melanoma-specific survival. However, the underlying factors contributing to this more aggressive phenotype are not completely understood.

Large vertebrate genomes duplicate by activating tens of thousands of DNA replication origins, irregularly spaced along the genome. The spatial and temporal regulation of the replication process is not yet fully understood. To investigate the DNA replication dynamics, we developed a methodology called RepliCorr, which uses the spatial correlation between replication patterns observed on stretched single-molecule DNA obtained by either DNA combing or high-throughput optical mapping.

In age-related peripheral neurodegeneration, changes in the promotion or inhibition of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response related to the ubiquitin-proteasome degradation system (UPS), autophagy and apoptosis signaling factors during aging remain unclear. In the present study, the expression of ER stress response signaling-related protein factors was examined in tibial nerves during aging in rats. Tibial nerves were extracted from continuously housed rats at 20, 50, 70, 90 and 105 weeks of age.

A drug-induced sarcoidosis-like reaction (DISR) is a systemic granulomatous reaction indistinguishable from sarcoidosis and is associated with the administration of a medication. It typically exhibits a temporal relationship with the initiation of the drug (an average interval of 22 months) and tends to improve upon its discontinuation. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonists, including adalimumab, have been associated with the development of DISR.

A high-calorie diet and lack of exercise are the most important risk factors contributing to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) initiation and progression. The precise molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial function alteration during MASLD development remain to be fully elucidated. In this study, a total of 60 male C57BL/6J mice were maintained on a normal or amylin liver NASH (AMLN) diet for 6 or 10 weeks.
