The Impact of CD44 and Osteopontin on Hematopoiesis
(2021-10-25)
Hematopoiesis is the process, which enables the replenishment of blood cellular components in mammals throughout their lifespan. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC), which reside within the bone marrow (BM), are the primary ...
Electrostatic anchoring of SNAP25 to the plasma membrane
(2021-07-21)
Neurotransmission is based on incredibly rapid membrane trafficking cycles, mediating the release of neurotransmitters. The fusion machinery of the well-studied SNARE protein complex ensures the speed and precision of ...
Twin-screw Melt Granulation as alternative Granulation Strategy
(2021-07-28)
Melt granulation is an interesting alternative technique to produce both, immediate and controlled-release final products using twin-screw extruders. The aim of this current work was to gain a deeper understanding of the ...
Synthesis, optimization, and characterization of chromen-4-one and 1,7-phenanthroline derivatives as ligands for the orphan G protein-coupled receptors 35 and 84
(2021-06-21)
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are ideal drug targets. Their characteristic tissue distribution, marked ligand specificity, and their roles in countless (patho)physiological processes are being exploited by more than ...
Design and Synthesis of A2B- and Dual-Acting A2A/A2B Adenosine Receptor Antagonists
(2020-10-27)
A2A and A2B adenosine receptors (ARs) are novel drug targets in cancer (immuno)therapy. Activation of A2AARs expressed on the surface of many immune cells such as T-lymphocytes and natural ...
Medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology of orphan human Mas-related G protein-coupled receptors X2 and X4 (MRGPRX2 and MRGPRX4)
(2021-10-19)
The MRGPRX protein subfamily comprise rhodopsin-like orphan GPCRs, whose endogenous agonists have not been identified yet. They are exclusively expressed in primates, including humans. All Mas-related GPCRs (MRGPRs) were ...
The chromatin organizer Satb1 regulates the differentiation into CD4+ TH subsets and is essential for the development of TH17 cells
(2021-06-04)
CD4+ T cells play a critical role in host defense and tissue homeostasis. Upon encountering their specific antigen, naive CD4+ T cells can differentiate into the effector T helper (TH) subsets ...
