Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most common bacteria infecting humans. One of the factors contributing to the disease-causing properties is the secreted streptococcal cysteine proteinase, SpeB, which degrades several host proteins in connective tissue and circulation. SpeB activity depends on the transformation from an inactive precursor, zymogen, into a mature proteinase. We show that
Primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening disorder associated with autosomal recessive variants in genes required for perforin-mediated lymphocyte cytotoxicity. A rapid diagnosis is crucial for successful treatment. Although defective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) function causes pathogenesis, quantification of natural killer (NK)–cell exocytosis triggered by K562 targe
This study explores the use of manganese ore, iron-carbon particles (Fe-C), and gravel as anode fillers in electroactive constructed wetlands (ECWs) to treat wastewater containing pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) including ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), and naproxen (NPX), while also assessing bioelectricity production. Although the presence of PPCPs reduced pollutant remo
INTRODUCTION: Synaptic dysfunction and loss are pathological hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases. Neuronal pentraxin 2 (NPTX2), a presynaptic protein involved in synaptic plasticity, has been linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative disorders. METHODS: We developed and validated a novel single molecule array (Simoa) for NPTX2 in cerebrospinal fluid, w
Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A streptococcus; GAS) is an important human pathogen responsible for mild to severe, life-threatening infections. GAS expresses a wide range of virulence factors, including the M family proteins. The M proteins allow the bacteria to evade parts of the human immune defenses by triggering the formation of a dense coat of plasma proteins surrounding the bacteria, includi

Is it possible to improve the antibodies that the body produces to fight SARS-CoV2? In a study led by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, this was investigated by redesigning antibodies and combining them against the virus. The modified antibodies have been tested in human cells and with mice. Many antibodies used to treat covid infection during the pandemic have been so-called neutralizin

Den argentinska konstnären Monica Girón gjorde en utställning som bestod av stickade dräkter åt utrotningshotade fågelarter i Patagonien. Utställningen utgör avstampet i antropologen Annika Capelán Köhlers avhandling där hon låter merinoull vara navet i en historia som spänner över allt från världshistoria till små

Background: Peripheral blood eosinophilia and lung mucosal eosinophil infiltration are hallmarks of bronchial asthma. IL-5 is a critical cytokine for eosinophil maturation, survival, and mobilization. Attempts to target eosinophils for the treatment of asthma by means of IL-5 neutralization have only resulted in partial removal of airway eosinophils, and this warrants the development of more effec
