Global conserved RBD fraction of SARS-CoV-2 S-protein with T500S mutation in silico significantly blocks ACE2 and rejects viral spikeTranslational Medicine Communications - Tập 7 Số 1 - Trang 1-11 - 2022

SARS-CoV-2 developed global-pandemic with millions of infections/deaths. As it is urgently necessary it is assumed that some blockers/inhibitors of ACE2 could be helpful to resist the binding of viral-spike Receptor-Binding-Domain (RBD). Here, conserved RBD from 186-countries were compared with WUHAN-Hu-1 wild-type (CLUSTAL-X2/Pymol). The RBD of ACE2-bound nCOV2 crystal-structure 6VW1 wa...... hiện toàn bộ
Global research trends on the links between insulin resistance and obesity: a visualization analysisTranslational Medicine Communications - Tập 7 - Trang 1-13 - 2022

Obesity increases the chance of developing insulin resistance. Numerous inflammatory markers have been linked to an increased risk of insulin resistance in obese individuals. Therefore, we performed a bibliometric analysis to determine global research activity and current trends in the field of obesity and insulin resistance. Scopus was used between 2002 and 2021 to retrieve publications related t...... hiện toàn bộ

Media fills are used to demonstrate the adequacy of the aseptic conditions of a pharmaceutical production process, according to good manufacturing practice (GMP), using a growth medium in place of the product solution. For advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP), where the final product consists of viable cells, the media fill is still a challenge, but represents the starting point for process v...... hiện toàn bộ
Phase I clinical trial results of aceneuramic acid for GNE myopathy in JapanTranslational Medicine Communications - Tập 3 - Trang 1-15 - 2018

GNE myopathy (distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles) is a rare intractable muscle disease caused by the mutations in GNE gene, with no therapeutic agents at present. The mutations in GNE (UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine kinase) gene result in a deficiency of the biosynthesis of aceneuramic acid. Aceneuramic acid improves the phenotype of GNE myopathy model mice. We examined ...... hiện toàn bộ
Unexpected increase of myocardial extracellular volume fraction in low cardiovascular risk HIV patientsTranslational Medicine Communications - Tập 5 - Trang 1-9 - 2020

People living with HIV (PLWH) are prone to develop sub-clinical Cardiovascular (CV) disease, despite the effectiveness of combined Antiretroviral Therapy (cART). Algorithms developed to predict CV risk in the general population could be inaccurate when applied to PLWH. Myocardial Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM) expansion, measured by computed tomography, has been associated with an increased CV vulner...... hiện toàn bộ

This window of opportunity trial evaluated the safety of intratumoral Copaxone® and profiled immune markers in biopsies before and after treatment. Patients with percutaneously accessible malignancies scheduled for surgical resection with curative intent were eligible to participate. Adverse events from one, two, or three injections of Copaxone® were monitored leading up to surgical resection. Usi...... hiện toàn bộ
Characterization of a small molecule modulator of inflammatory cytokine productionTranslational Medicine Communications - Tập 7 - Trang 1-15 - 2022

In the present study, the effect(s) of the immunomodulatory drug GLS-1027 on various cell types involved in inflammation were investigated. GLS-1027 reduced LPS-stimulated secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by macrophage or monocytic cells and cell lines. This reduction was likely due in part to decreased activation of NF-κB family transcription factors and inhibition of p38 MAPK signaling in...... hiện toàn bộ
