-Tosyl Hydrazone Benzopyran, a New Ligand of PPARα Obtained from Mapping the Conformational Space of Its Active Site.

J Chem Inf Model

December 2024

Facultad de Química, Bioquímica y Farmacia, Universidad Nacional de San Luis, Instituto Multidisciplinario de Investigaciones Biológicas (IMIBIO-SL). CONICET, Ejército de los Andes 950, 5700 San Luis, Argentina.

We report here a new ligand for the peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor type α (PPARα), an N-tosyl hydrazone benzopyran that was designed throughout the mapping of the polar zone of the binding site of PPARα; such a compound displays a strong activity on this receptor that is comparable to that of the reference compound WY-14643. For the design of the -tosyl hydrazone benzopyran, we have carried out an exhaustive conformational study of WY-14643 and a previously reported hydrazine benzopyran derivative using conformational potential energy surfaces (PES). This study allowed us to map in a systematic way the entire binding site of the PPARα.

Genomic data sequencing is crucial for understanding biological systems. As genomic databases like the European Nucleotide Archive expand exponentially, efficient data manipulation is essential. A key challenge is querying these databases to determine the presence or absence of specific sequences and their abundance within datasets.

Nanobodies as innovative immune checkpoint modulators: advancing cancer immunotherapy.

Med Oncol

December 2024

Venom and Biotherapeutics Molecules Laboratory, Biotechnology Department, Biotechnology Research Center, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, 1316943551, Iran.

The immune system relies on a delicate balance between attacking harmful pathogens and preserving the body's own tissues, a balance maintained by immune checkpoints. These checkpoints play a critical role in preventing autoimmune diseases by restraining excessive immune responses while allowing the immune system to recognize and destroy abnormal cells, such as tumors. In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become central to cancer therapy, enabling the immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells that evade detection.

Introduction: Malaria remains a significant burden, and a fully protective vaccine against is critical for reducing morbidity and mortality. Antibody responses against the blood-stage antigen Merozoite Surface Protein 2 (MSP2) are associated with protection from malaria, but its extensive polymorphism is a barrier to its development as a vaccine candidate. New tools, such as long-read sequencing and accurate protein structure modelling allow us to study the genetic diversity and immune responses towards antigens from clinical isolates with unprecedented detail.

Venom and Biotherapeutics Molecules Laboratory, Biotechnology Department, Biotechnology Research Center, Pasteur Institute of Iran, Tehran, Iran.

This study aimed to encapsulate an anti-VEGF nanobody (Nb) within niosome nanoparticles (NNPs) to enhance its circulation half life. Key parameters such as encapsulation efficiency, stability, Nb release, cytotoxicity, and cell migration inhibition in HUVEC cells were evaluated, along with pharmacokinetic studies in mice. Nb-loaded NNPs (Nb-NNPs) were successfully prepared with an encapsulation efficiency of 78.

Background: Cutaneous Leishmaniases (CL), highly endemic in Africa and Mediterranean region, are caused by different Leishmania parasite species. Accurate species identification is crucial for effective diagnosis, treatment, and control of these diseases, but traditionally relies on DNA-based methods. High Resolution Melting analysis PCR (HRM PCR) provides rapid results and precise differentiation based on nucleotide variations.

Purpose/background: Clozapine is the recommended drug for treatment-resistant schizophrenia. Drug response could be affected by numerous factors such as age, sex, body mass index, co-medication, consumption of xanthine-containing beverages, smoking, and genetic variants of the enzymes involved in clozapine metabolism (CYP1A2, CYP3A4, and, to a lesser extent, CYP2C19 and CYP2D6). This study evaluated genetic and nongenetic variables that may affect clozapine plasma concentrations in Uruguayan patients with schizophrenia.

Dormancy is an adaptation in which cells reduce their metabolism, transcription, and translation to stay alive under stressful conditions, preserving the capacity to reactivate once the environment reverts to favorable conditions. Dormancy and reactivation of () are closely linked to intracellular residency within macrophages. Our previous work showed that murine macrophages rely on the viable but not cultivable (VBNC-a dormancy phenotype) fungus from active , with striking differences in immunometabolic gene expression.

As identified in 1936 by Hans Selye, stress is shaping diseases through the induction of inflammation. But inflammation display some yin yang properties. On one hand inflammation is merging with the innate immune response aimed to fight infectious or sterile insults, on the other hand inflammation favors chronic physical or psychological disorders.

Background and objectives Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global threat, with carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs) representing a critical public health challenge. Rapid and accurate detection of CPEs is essential for controlling fatal bacterial AMR infections. This study evaluated the performance of MacConkey media supplemented with ertapenem (MacErt1 and MacErt2) for the detection of CPEs.

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is a well-described potential cause of leg pain in high-level athletes and soldiers. Surgical treatment of chronic exertional compartment syndrome usually involves fasciotomy, with a reported rate of complications of up to 16%, including failure of complete compartmental release and delayed return to normal daily activity, which can take up to 6 to 12 weeks. The use of a minimally invasive approach under ultrasound guidance seems to improve clinical outcomes in young active patients.

What is the lower limb length discrepancy after arthroplasty for proximal femoral fracture? A prospective, multicenter observational study of 590 hips.

Orthop Traumatol Surg Res

December 2024

Société Française de Chirurgie Orthopédique et Traumatologique, 56 rue Boissonade, 75014 Paris Cedex, France.

Introduction: Lower limb length discrepancy (LLD) following hip arthroplasty after proximal femoral fracture (PFFA) is little studied. The aim of this work was to answer the following questions: 1) What are the incidence and mean values ​​of LLD after PFFA? 2) What are the clinical consequences (tolerance) of LLD after PFFA? 3) Can we identify risk factors for LLD after PFFA? 4) Is there a significant difference in terms of LLD after PFFA to treat intra- versus extra-capsular fractures?

Hypothesis: LLD after proximal femoral fracture arthroplasty is rare but has good clinical tolerance, given the low functional demands of the patients.

Patients And Methods: This is a multicenter prospective observational cohort study (15 centers), including 590 patients, operated on for hip arthroplasty for proximal femur fracture between May 2022 and June 2023.
