VIP conditions human endometrial receptivity by privileging endoplasmic reticulum stress through ATF6α pathway

Komórki zrębu endometrium przechodzą stres retikulum endoplazmatycznego (ER) i odpowiedź na rozwinięte białka (UPR) podczas decydualizacji związanej z procesami zapalnymi i angiogenezy. Biorąc pod uwagę, że VIP (wazoaktywny peptyd jelitowy) indukuje program decydualizacji, zbadaliśmy, czy moduluje szlaki ER/UPR, aby warunkować oba procesy pod kątem implantacji zarodka. Kiedy ludzka linia komórek zrębu endometrium (HESC) została zdecidualizowana przez VIP, zaobserwowaliśmy […]

Comparison of the ELISA and ECL Assay for Vedolizumab Anti-drug Antibodies: Assessing the Impact on Pharmacokinetics and Safety Outcomes of the Phase 3 GEMINI Trials

Vedolizumab immunogenicity was assessed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with ~ 0.5 ug / mL drug disorders, which may underestimate the on-drug immunogenicity. We aimed to compare the results between ELISA and immunogenicity of a new drug-tolerant electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay (and two versions of neutralizing tests, drug-sensitive to the drug-tolerant). ECL assay drug tolerance […]

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

BLAST program is widely used tool to find protein and DNA databases for sequence similarities. For protein comparisons, various definitions, algorithmic and statistical improvements described here allows the BLAST program execution time will decrease substantially while increasing their sensitivity to weak similarity. New criteria to trigger the expansion of word hits, combined with new heuristics […]

Population-Based Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Infection and Antibodies in four Districts with Varying Levels of Trachoma Endemicity in Amhara, Ethiopia

Population-Based Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis Infection and Antibodies in four Districts with Varying Levels of Trachoma Endemicity in Amhara, Ethiopia

Trachoma Control Program in Amhara Region, Ethiopia, improved surgery, antibiotics, facial cleanliness, and environmental improvement (SAFE) strategy in all districts starting in 2007. Despite these efforts, many districts still requires an additional year of AMAN. In 2017, four districts were selected for assessment of antibody response to an antigen of Chlamydia trachomatis and C. trachomatis […]
