Unmasking Hidden Systemic Effects of Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Two-Pronged Approach to Biomarker Discovery

This paper evaluates HMW fractionation as a complementary proteomics approach to identify serum biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases, showing improved discrimination compared to direct serum analysis.

Men in menopause? Experimental verification of the mate choice theory with Drosophila melanogaster shows both sexes can undergo menopause

This study tests the mate choice theory of menopause using Drosophila melanogaster, showing that both sexes can experience fertility decline in old age due to asymmetric mating.

Functional characterization of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) PepT2 transporters

This study identifies and characterizes two PepT2 transporters in Atlantic salmon, showing they function as high-affinity/low-capacity peptide transporters with conserved amino acids and tissue-specific expression.

Cytotoxic CD4+ T cells driven by T-cell intrinsic IL-18R/MyD88 signaling predominantly infiltrate Trypanosoma cruzi-infected hearts

This study identifies CD4+ T cells with cytotoxic activity as key players in immunity against Trypanosoma cruzi, showing their dependence on T-cell intrinsic IL-18R/MyD88 signaling.

Toxoplasma gondii Toxolysin 4 contributes to efficient parasite egress from host cells

This study identifies Toxolysin 4 (TLN4) as a metalloproteinase necessary for efficient Toxoplasma gondii egress from host cells.
