What is a Study?Filters
This study investigates how Fc-engineered antibodies affect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) growth through antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE). We engineered 16 Fc variants with two distinct Fab regions (710 and 712), both targeting antigen85B (Ag85B), creating 32 total antibody variants. These variants were comprehensively profiled across five antibody effector functions: antibody-dependent neutrophil phagocytosis (ADNP), antibody-dependent monocyte phagocytosis (ADMP), antibody-dependent ...

Abstract: The incorporation of a functional perfusable microvascular network (MVN) is a common requirement for most organ on-chip-models. Long-term perfusion of MVNs is often required for the maturation of organ phenotypes and disease pathologies and to model the transport of cells and drugs entering ...

Abstract: Immune cells, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, can utilize podosomes, mechanosensitive actin-rich protrusions, to generate forces, migrate, and patrol for foreign antigens. Individual podosomes probe their microenvironment through periodic protrusion and retraction cycles (height ...

Following on in silico and in vitro work, the effect of MCAD deficiency on CoA metabolism was investigated. Using a recently published HILIC-MS/MS method, free and acylated CoA species could be measured simultaneously in HepG2 MCAD-KO cells. The levels of CoA biosynthesis intermediates and total CoA was also characterised by HPLC in liver samples from MCAD-KO mice exposed to energetic stress (fasting adn cold). qPCR was applied to investigate changes in the CoA metabolism that might constitute ...

Abstract: Herein, we present the development and evaluation of a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) sensor for the sensitive and selective detection of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in aqueous environments. MIP coatings over electrochemically active electrodes enable NDMA detection with a notably low detection limit of 1.16 ppb. Our findings demonstrate that the ...
