Directed Evolution of Proteins through In Vitro Protein Synthesis in Liposomes by Takehiro Nishikawa, Takeshi Sunami, Tomoaki Matsuura, Tetsuya Yomo

“…IVC establishes the link between genetic information (genotype) and the protein translated from the information (phenotype), which is essential for all directed evolution methods, by encapsulating both in a nonliving microcompartment. Herein, we introduce a new liposome-based IVC system consisting of a liposome, the protein synthesis using recombinant elements (PURE) system and a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) used as a microcompartment, in vitro protein synthesis system, and high-throughput screen, respectively. …”

Primary Hepatic Lymphoma: A Challenging Diagnosis by D. Myoteri, D. Dellaportas, E. Arkoumani, A. Marinis, A. Zizi-Sermpetzoglou

“…In order to define the condition as PHL, liver has to be the only site of lymphoma occurrence or to be involved in a major degree with minimal nonliver disease. Most PHLs are of B-cell origin with large cells as the main cell type.…”

SUSTAINING LIFE WITH TREES: ECOCRITICISM PERSPECTIVE IN SELECTED PICTURE BOOKS by Christy Tisnawijaya, Geni Kurniati

“…Hence, taking care of the trees can be perceived as maintaining a sustainable life for both the living and nonliving things. The underlying theories to support the discussion are those of ecocriticism, narrative and illustrative elements, and the trees as metaphor of Mother Earth, all of which are interconnected in children’s picture books. …”

Cell-Specific Regulation of Inflammatory Cytokines and Acute-Phase Proteins by the Glucocorticoid Receptor by Rebecca Winkler, Hong Lu

“…In PHH from donor 2, DEX treatment inhibited protein expression and secretion of CXCL1 and CXCL8 induced by TNFα and/or LPS, whereas CXCL2 upregulation was largely unaffected by DEX treatment. In nonliver HEK293T cells GR activity inhibited CXCL2 promoter activity. …”
