Versatility of Pyridoxal Phosphate as a Coating of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Marijana Mionic Ebersold, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Ulrich Aschauer, Débora Bonvin

Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) is the most important cofactor of vitamin B-6-dependent enzymes, which catalyses a wide range of essential body functions (e.g., metabolism) that could be exploited to specifically target highly metabolic cells, such as tumour ...

Formation of Large Hypericin Aggregates in Giant Unilamellar Vesicles-Experiments and Modeling

Jaroslava Joniová, Veronika Huntosova

The incorporation of hypericin (Hyp) from aqueous solutions into giant unilamellar vesicle (GUV) membranes has been studied experimentally and by means of kinetic Monte Carlo modeling. The time evolution of Hyp fluorescence originating from Hyp monomers di ...

Interaction of silver nanoparticles with algae and fish cells: a side by side comparison

Kristin Schirmer, Laura Sigg, Renata Behra, Yang Yue, Xiaomei Li

Background: Silver nanoparticles (AgNP) are widely applied and can, upon use, be released into the aquatic environment. This raises concerns about potential impacts of AgNP on aquatic organisms. We here present a side by side comparison of the interaction ...

Investigating the Biological Mechanisms underlying the Initiation of Autoimmunity against Beta Cell Antigens in Type 1 Diabetes

Chiara Cianciaruso

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by circulating autoantibodies, lymphocytic infiltration of pancreatic islets of Langerhans, and cell-specific destruction of beta cells, leading to insulin deficiency and symptomatic hyperglycemi ...

Discovery and characterization of novel stable tau oligomeric complexes: Implications for the role of Tau/phospholipid interactions in regulating its functions in health and disease

Hilal Lashuel, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Gizem Zorludemir

The microtubule-associated protein Tau plays a central role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Although Tau interaction with membranes is thought to affect some of its physiological functions and its aggregation properties, the sequence determinan ...

Reversion of P-gp-Mediated Drug Resistance in Ovarian Carcinoma Cells with PHPMA-Zosuquidar Conjugates

Harm-Anton Klok, Claudia Battistella

Inhibition of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) transporter is an attractive approach for the reversion of cancer-associated multidrug resistance (MDR). Poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) (PHPMA)-based carriers that are able to release the anticancer drug doxoru ...

Viral RNA Degradation and Diffusion Act as a Bottleneck for the Influenza A Virus Infection Efficiency

Christian Sieben

After endocytic uptake, influenza viruses transit early endosomal compartments and eventually reach late endosomes. There, the viral glycoprotein hemagglutinin (HA) triggers fusion between endosomal and viral membrane, a critical step that leads to release ...

Aberrant Accumulation of the Diabetes Autoantigen GAD65 in Golgi Membranes in Conditions of ER Stress and Autoimmunity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Steinunn Baekkeskov Hanahan, Chiara Cianciaruso, Miriella Carmela Pasquier, Edward Allen Phelps

Pancreatic islet β-cells are particularly susceptible to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, which is implicated in β-cell dysfunction and loss during the pathogenesis of type 1 diabetes (T1D). The peripheral membrane protein GAD65 is an autoantigen in huma ...

The Ins and Outs of Anthrax Toxin

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

Anthrax is a severe, although rather rare, infectious disease that is caused by the Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The infectious form is the spore and the major virulence factors of the bacterium are its poly-gamma-D-glutamic a ...
