Protein L11 from the 50S ribosomal subunit of Escherichia coli A19 was purified by a method using nondenaturing conditions. Its shape in solution was studied by hydrodynamic and low-angle x-ray scattering experiments. The results from both methods are in good agreement. In buffers similar to the ribosomal reconstitution buffer, the protein is monomeric at concentrations up to 3 mg/mL and has a molecular weight of 16 000-17 000. The protein molecule resembles a prolate ellipsoid with an axial ratio of 5-6:1 a radius of gyration of 34 A, and a maximal length of 150 A. From the low-angle x-ray diffraction data, a more refined model of the protein molecule has been constructed consisting of two ellipsoids joined by their long axes.

Background: Data regarding multiple switches including reverse switching between infliximab and its biosimilars are scarce in the field of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

Objectives: We investigated the clinical effectiveness as primary outcome measure after repeated switches. Secondary endpoints included C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, immunogenicity (trough levels (TL); anti-drug antibodies (ADA), safety and drug persistence.

Background/objectives: Carbohydrate counting is recommended to improve glycemic control in type 1 diabetes (T1D), but the most effective educational methods are unclear. Despite its benefits, many individuals struggle with mastering carbohydrate counting, leading to inconsistent use and suboptimal glycemic outcomes. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two group-based programs with individual dietary counseling (standard care) for glycemic control.

Characterization of Single-Cell Cis-regulatory Elements Informs Implications for Cell Differentiation.

Genome Biol Evol

November 2024

State Key Laboratory of Genetic Resources and Evolution, Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming, China.

Cis-regulatory elements govern the specific patterns and dynamics of gene expression in cells during development, which are the fundamental mechanisms behind cell differentiation. However, the genomic characteristics of single-cell cis-regulatory elements closely linked to cell differentiation during development remain unclear. To explore this, we systematically analyzed ∼250,000 putative single-cell cis-regulatory elements obtained from snATAC-seq analysis of the developing mouse cerebellum.
