The impact of autoimmune co-morbidities in AQP4-NMOSD and MOGAD.
Aquaporin-4 neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4-NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody disease (MOGAD) can present similarly to Multiple Sclerosis (MS) but presents with unique therapeutic and prognostic challenges.
Immobilized acyl-transfer molecular reactors enable the solid phase synthesis of sterically hindered peptides
An immobilized ribosome-mimicking molecular reactor (RMMR) boosts coupling efficiency in the solid-phase synthesis of N-methylated or α,α-disubstituted amino acid(s)-containing sterically hindered peptides, including cyclosporin A and alamethicin F analogues.
Rethinking Brain Sugar — How Glycogen Shapes Tauopathy and Neuroprotection
Alzheimer’s disease is characterized by the buildup of toxic proteins, and lifestyle factors such as diet may influence the risk of developing the condition.
Troubleshooting inverted nipples in lactating mothers with an electric breast pump
Breastfeeding is the single most important intervention for reducing neonatal mortality. Numerous factors, including inverted nipples, hinder its establishment. On the occasion of World Breastfeeding Week, we discuss the findings of our study comparing electric breast pumps with the syringe method
Silent influencer: How non-antibiotics tip the microbial balance of the gut microbiome
Some human-targeted drugs can alter gut microbes, creating a favorable environment for pathogens like Salmonella to thrive.
