A juxtamembrane basolateral targeting motif regulates signaling through a TGF-β pathway receptor in Drosophila. by Aidan J Peterson, Stephen J Murphy, Melinda G Mundt, MaryJane Shimell, Edward B Leof, Michael B O'Connor

“…We also show that apicalized Punt does not produce an ectopic signal, indicating that the apical pool of Dpp is not a significant signaling source even when presented with Punt. Instead, we find that basolateral presentation of Punt is required for optimal signaling. …”

Synthesis of Molecularly Imprinted Polymers for Selective Extraction Followed by Solid Phase Determination of Metformin in Pharmaceutical Preparation and in Human Serum by Rana A. Kamal Aldeen, Yehya K. Al-Bayati

“…A solid-phase extraction (SPE) syringe packed with molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) was employed to selectively separate and pre-concentrate the Metformin in multiple pharmaceutical drugs from several sources. The human serum was based on the use of deionized water to dilute the serum, followed by the heating of the serum with methanol. …”

Peripheral immune cell dysregulation following diffuse traumatic brain injury in pigs by Kathryn L. Wofford, Kevin D. Browne, David J. Loane, David F. Meaney, D. Kacy Cullen

“…Indeed, secondary infections following TBI worsen neurological outcomes and are a major source of mortality and morbidity. Despite the compelling link between the damaged brain and peripheral immune functionality, little is known about how injury severity affects the peripheral immune system in closed-head diffuse TBI, the most common clinical presentation including all concussions. …”

Assessing the impact of a rare synonymous variant in the <i>KNG1</i> gene on the development of hereditary angioedema by N. A. Pechnikova, Yu. V. Ostankova, M. A. Saitgalina, A. M. Bebyakov, A. A. Totolian

“…Therefore, (1) the mutant high-molecular-weight kininogen is more easily activated by kallikrein and becomes a source of bradykinin formation through the kallikrein-kinin system; (2) the mechanism of bradykinin formation undergoes significant changes and results in the formation of functionally active but aberrant bradykinin, which alters its inactivation by enzymes with a consequent increase in its half-life, (3) the changes in positions 380-389 bring about modifications in Lys-bradykinin reproduction such that in subsequent steps it is “easily” cleaved to bradykinin by arginine aminopeptidase. …”
