Integrated bioinformatics and experimental validation identify ATF3 as a key gene in secondary brain damage after intracerebral hemorrhage. by Tao Cui, Jinbang Huang, Chaoyong Zhang, Bin Wang

“…<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study identifies a novel ATF3-VASP signaling axis as a key driver of secondary neuronal injury post-ICH. Our findings advance the mechanistic understanding of post-hemorrhagic brain damage and suggest that therapeutic targeting of the ATF3-VASP pathway may mitigate secondary injury, offering a potential strategy to improve clinical outcomes.…”

Maintenance of large subpopulations of differentiated CD8 T-cells two years after cytomegalovirus infection in Gambian infants. by David J C Miles, Marianne van der Sande, David Jeffries, Steve Kaye, Olubukola Ojuola, Mariama Sanneh, Momodou Cox, Melba S Palmero, Ebrima S Touray, Pauline Waight, Sarah Rowland-Jones, Hilton Whittle, Arnaud Marchant

“…The age-related increase in IFNgamma response observed during the first year continued but was non-significant during the second year, indicating that the rate of functional improvement had slowed substantially. CONCLUSIONS / SIGNIFICANCE: The large differentiated subpopulations of CD8 T-cells that had emerged immediately after CMV infection persisted through the second year post-infection, while levels of activation and functional capacity remained fairly constant.…”

Abstract 207: Clinical Outcomes After Endovascular Thrombectomy in Large Vessel Occlusion: A Philippine Single Center Experience by Kimberly C. Geronimo

“…Stentriever technique is primarily utilized in 59% (n=34), aspiration in 10% (n=6), and combined stentriever and aspiration in 17% (n=10) with a 77% (n=44) recanalization rate. Early neurologic improvement (ENI) defined as a difference of 8 points in NIHSS or a score of 0 at day 1 post‐EVT were found in 7% (n=4), 2 of which translated to a favorable outcome using the 90‐day MRS. …”

HOPE and AMPK activation reduce reperfusion injury and metabolic dysfunction in primate steatotic liver grafts by Tao Li, Pengkang Chang, Yimeng Wang, Yihong Song, Pengxiang Qu, Bo Wang, Yi Lyu, Liangshuo Hu

“…The combination of HOPE and AMPK activators has been shown to reduce the degree of steatotic liver grafts in a relatively short time, significantly reduce reperfusion injury, and improve liver function. This study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on mechanical perfusion in primate models, addressing a previously identified gap in the literature.…”

Production of <i>Vespa tropica</i> Hyaluronidase by <i>Pichia pastoris</i> by Piyapon Janpan, Bernhard Schmelzer, Anuwatchakij Klamrak, Patthana Tastub, Tewa Upathanpreecha, Shaikh Shahinur Rahman, Jaran Nabnueangsap, Yutthakan Saengkun, Prapenpuksiri Rungsa, Diethard Mattanovich, Sakda Daduang

“…Notably, it exhibits higher hyaluronidase activity than the crude venom and <i>E. coli</i>-expressed protein, likely due to improved folding via endogenous post-translational modifications, such as disulfide bonds and N-glycosylation; this underscores the potential of heterologous systems for producing venomous hyaluronidases from other species. …”
