Pattern Recognition via the Toll-Like Receptor System in the Human Female Genital Tract by Kaei Nasu, Hisashi Narahara

“…TLRs recognize conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) synthesized by microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses as well as endogenous ligands associated with cell damage. Members of the TLR family, which includes 10 human TLRs identified to date, recognize distinct PAMPs produced by various bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens. …”

Gene Therapy: A step toward advanced orthodontics – A narrative review by Monika Shukla, Shalu Jain, C. Munish Reddy, Pradeep Raghav, Kumar Amit, Rinchin Yangzom, Shivika Garg, Aastha Kamrani

“…Background: Gene therapy deals with the insertion of exogenous genes into a cell to produce the desired therapeutic effect. After the introduction of gene therapy in dentistry, this field is also flourishing rapidly in the branch of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics as it can prevent many prenatal and postnatal dentofacial anomalies which have the genetical etiology. …”

Enhancing Akt Imaging through Targeted Reporter Expression by Limin Zhang, Mahaveer S. Bhojani, Brian D. Ross, Alnawaz Rehemtulla

“…Based on the fact that Akt is recruited to the plasma membrane on activation, we here describe a modified version of this reporter molecule (myristoylated and palmitoylated bioluminescent Akt reporter [MyrPalm-BAR]), which is membrane bound and whose bioluminescence activity can be used to monitor Akt activity at the cell membrane. Using changes in Akt activation status with small molecule inhibitors of Akt, we demonstrated that the membrane-targeted Akt reporter was more sensitive and quantitative. …”
