The production of complex multimeric secretory immunoglobulins (SIgA) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves is challenging, with significant reductions in complete protein assembly and consequently yield, being the most important difficulties. Expanding the physical dimensions of the ER to mimic professional antibody-secreting cells can help to increase yields and promote protein folding and assembly. Here, we expanded the ER in N.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a challenge because it is associated with worse patient outcomes. To solve the problem will take development of interventions and policies which improve patient outcomes by prolonging survival, improving patient symptoms, function and quality of life. Logically, we should look to focusing resources in areas that would have the greatest impact on public health.

Background: In recent years, the incidence of pancreatic cancer has shown an obvious increasing trend worldwide and even causes a greater disease burden to the mankind. Due to the lack of effective early surveillance methods, patients are often in the middle to advanced stages of their disease at the time of detection, thus losing the opportunity for surgery. The currently available chemotherapy regimens are yet to be further improved to prolong patient survival.

The efficiency of DNA repair means that most known classes of lesion have a half-life of minutes to hours, but the extent to which DNA damage can persist for longer durations remains unknown. Here, using high-resolution phylogenetic trees from 89 donors, we identified mutations arising from 818 DNA lesions that persisted across multiple cell cycles in normal human stem cells from blood, liver and bronchial epithelium.

Introduction: Horse antithymocyte globulin carries a black box warning for life-threatening anaphylactic reactions, and prescribing information recommends test doses to identify patients at highest risk of this adverse effect. The predictive value of such test doses is not well validated, and practicality of use is unclear.
Methods: This was a planned secondary analysis of a multicenter, retrospective cohort study in adults with severe aplastic anemia being managed with horse antithymocyte globulin as part of their treatment regimen.
