Abstract Omalizumab, a recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IgE molecule, is the first biologic approved for moderate-to-severe allergic asthmatics, who... -
ERα-36 regulates progesterone receptor activity in breast cancer
Abstract Background Alterations in estrogen and progesterone signaling, via their respective receptors, estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and progesterone receptor (PR),... -
Highly active promoters and native secretion signals for protein production d...
Abstract Background The filamentous ascomycete Aspergillus niger is used in many industrial processes for the production of enzymes and organic acids by batch and fed-batch... -
Examining the role of unmeasured confounding in mediation analysis with genet...
Abstract Background In mediation analysis if unmeasured confounding is present, the estimates for the direct and mediated effects may be over or under estimated. Most methods... -
A novel pyruvate kinase and its application in lactic acid production under o...
Abstract Background Pyruvate kinase (Pyk) catalyzes the generation of pyruvate and ATP in glycolysis and functions as a key switch in the regulation of carbon flux distribution.... -
Identification of non-conserved residues essential for improving the hydrocar...
Abstract Background Cyanobacteria produce hydrocarbons corresponding to diesel fuels by means of aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase (ADO). ADO catalyzes a difficult and unusual... -
Development of a new promoter to avoid the silencing of genes in the producti...
Abstract Background The production of recombinant proteins in mammalian cell lines is one of the most important areas in biopharmaceutical industry. Viral transcriptional... -
Identification and validation of a Schistosoma japonicum U6 promoter
Abstract Background RNA polymerase III promoters have been widely used to express short hairpin-RNA (shRNA), microRNA (miRNA), and small guide RNA (sgRNA) in gene functional... -
Development of a high-throughput screen to identify small molecule enhancers ...
Abstract Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by loss of sarcolemma connection to the extracellular matrix. Transgenic overexpression of the transmembrane... -
Deciphering how LIP2 and POX2 promoters can optimally regulate recombinant pr...
Abstract Background In recent years, the non-conventional model yeast species Yarrowia lipolytica has received much attention because it is a useful cell factory for producing... -
Air pollution-induced placental epigenetic alterations in early life: a candi...
Particulate matter (PM) exposure during in utero life may entail adverse health outcomes in later-life. Air pollution's adverse effects are known to alter gene expression... -
CYP1A1 methylation mediates the effect of smoking and occupational polycyclic...
Abstract Background Multiple factors, including co-exposure between lifestyle and environmental risks, are important in susceptibility to oxidative DNA damage. However, the... -
New inducible promoter for gene expression and synthetic biology in Yarrowia ...
Abstract Background The oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica is increasingly used as alternative cell factory for the production of recombinant proteins. At present, several... -
Wnt5a-induced M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages via IL-10 promo...
Abstract Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment influence tumor initiation, invasion and metastasis. Several studies have shown that Wnt5a... -
Blood transfusion improves renal oxygenation and renal function in sepsis-ind...
Abstract Background The effects of blood transfusion on renal microcirculation during sepsis are unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effect of blood transfusion on... -
Metabolic flux analysis for metabolome data validation of naturally xylose-fe...
Abstract Background Efficient xylose fermentation still demands knowledge regarding xylose catabolism. In this study, metabolic flux analysis (MFA) and metabolomics were used to... -
Simvastatin and a Plant Galactolipid Protect Animals from Septic Shock by Reg...
Abstract Sepsis remains a major medical issue despite decades of research. Identification of important inflammatory cascades and key molecular mediators are crucial for... -
Evaluation of novel inducible promoter/repressor systems for recombinant prot...
Abstract Background Engineering lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is of growing importance for food and feed industry as well as for in vivo vaccination or the production of... -
Thrombin-induced, TNFR-dependent miR-181c downregulation promotes MLL1 and NF...
Abstract Background Controlling thrombin-driven microglial activation may serve as a therapeutic target for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Here, we investigated microRNA... -
Characterisation of tau in the human and rodent enteric nervous system under ...
Abstract Tau is normally a highly soluble phosphoprotein found predominantly in neurons. Six different isoforms of tau are expressed in the adult human CNS. Under pathological...
