Methylomic profiling in trisomy 21 identifies cognition- and Alzheimer’s disease-related dysregulation by Larissa Haertle (3864310)

“…</p><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">A genome-wide DNA methylation study was performed using Illumina Infinium® MethylationEPIC BeadChips on whole blood DNA of 3 male T21 patients with low IQ, 8 T21 patients with high IQ (4 males and 4 females), and 21 age- and sex-matched control samples (12 males and 9 females) in order to determine whether DNA methylation alterations could help explain variation in cognitive impairment between individuals with T21. In view of the increased risk of developing AD in T21 individuals, we additionally investigated the T21-associated sites in published blood DNA methylation data from the AgeCoDe cohort (German study on Ageing, Cognition, and Dementia). …”

A urokinase-activated recombinant diphtheria toxin targeting the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor is selectively cytotoxic to human acute myeloid leukemia... by Abi-Habib, Ralph J.

“…Novel agents to treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are needed with increased efficacy and specificity. We have synthesized a dual-specificity fusion toxin DTU2GMCSF composed of the catalytic and translocation domains of diphtheria toxin (DT) fused to the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in which the DT furin cleavage site 163RVRRSV170 is modified to a urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) cleavage site 163GSGRSA170, termed U2. …”

Algal-algal bioflocculation enhances the recovery efficiency of Picochlorum sp. QUCCCM130 with low auto-settling capacity by Imen Saadaoui (14159025)

“…Microscopic observation confirmed that Tetraselmis sp. held the small cells inside the flocs using their flagella. Thus, we can conclude that mixing microalgal cells in a specific ratio and at a specific pH increases the recovery efficiency of small-sized microalgae that can be difficult to harvest, such as Picochlorum sp. …”

Control of breathing by raphe obscurus serotonergic neurons in mice by Depuy, Seth D.

“…We used optogenetics to determine the global respiratory effects produced by selectively stimulating raphe obscurus (RO) serotonergic neurons in anesthetized mice and to test whether these neurons detect changes in the partial pressure of CO2 , and hence function as central respiratory chemoreceptors. …”

Liver resection for liver metastases from nondigestive endocrine cancer by Andreou, Andreas

“…However, these reports included various types of malignancies and relatively small sample sizes, which limits the ability to draw strong conclusions regarding patient selection.9, 10, 11 and 12 Given improvements in the efficacy of systemic therapy for endocrine tumors13 and 14 and improvements in the safety of liver resection,15 the number of patients with HNEM who are potential candidates for surgery is increasing. In this study, we evaluated the postoperative and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent liver resection for HNEM. …”
