MAPK-ERK is a central pathway in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that drives steroid resistance
...
(Patho-)physiological activation of the IL7-receptor (IL7R) signaling contributes to steroid resistance in pediatric T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). Here, we show that activating IL7R pathway mutations and physiological IL7R signaling activate MAPK-ERK signaling, which provokes steroid resistance by phosphorylation of BIM. By mass spec...

mRNA-lipid nanoparticle COVID-19 vaccines : structure and stability
A drawback of the current mRNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) COVID-19 vaccines is that they have to be stored at (ultra)low temperatures. Understanding the root cause of the instability of these vaccines may help to rationally improve mRNA-LNP product stability and thereby ease the temperature conditions for storage. In this review we discuss proposed s...
Biodegradation of acetyl cellulose etrols
This work aimed to study the biodegradation dynamics of plasticized cellulose acetate samples (etrols) with different content of plasticizers. Isophthalic acid dimethyl ester and orthophosphoric acid tributyl ester were used as plasticizers. The targets of the study also included assessing the effect of the plasticizers' content on the degradation ...
Metagenomic analysis of a keratin-degrading bacterial consortium provides insight into the keratinolytic mechanisms
Keratin is an insoluble fibrous protein from natural environments, which can be recycled to value-added products by keratinolytic microorganisms. A microbial consortium with efficient keratinolytic activity was previously enriched from soil, but the genetic basis behind its remarkable degradation properties was not investigated yet. To identify the...

Mechanically combined persulfate on zerovalent iron: Mechanistic insights into reduction and oxidation processes
Persulfate (S2O82-; PS) has been used with zerovalent iron (ZVI) for the remediation of various contaminants. However, the passive layer of commercial ZVI limitates the corrosion of ZVI and reaction with PS. In our initial attempt, we mechanically combined Na2S2O8 and micro-sized ZVI by simple ball milling to improve the reaction of PS and ZVI. The...
Starch hydrolysis during mashing: A study of the activity and thermal inactivation kinetics of barley malt alpha-amylase...
Hydrolysis of starch is key in several industrial processes, including brewing. Here, the activity and inactivation kinetics of amylases throughout barley malt mashing are investigated, as a prerequisite for rational optimisation of this process. Varietal differences were observed in the activity of α- and β-amylases as a function of temperature fo...
Fabrication of sustainable and multifunctional [email protected] nanotube nanocomposite fibers
UV resistant and photocatalytic TiO2/carbon nanotube nanohybrid ([email protected]) fibers are developed by incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) onto CNT fibers (CNTFs). This process densifies the CNTFs, and increases the thermal stability and structural integrity of the resulting [email protected] under UV exposure. As a result, the [email protected] have mechanica...
