Glyco-Epitope Diversity: An Evolving Area of Glycomics Research and Biomarker Discovery
Tumor glycomics research in recent years has uncovered a large panel of tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens and evidence of immune recognition of tumor-derived aberrant carbohydrates.

Computational Models for Neglected Diseases: Gaps and Opportunities
Here, we identify gaps in which computational approaches have been used for some neglected diseases and not others. We also make recommendations for the broad-spectrum integration of these techniques into…

Radiation Drugs – Still a Hot Topic
On the occasion of the second anniversary of the Fukushima disaster, it was reported inScience magazine that evacuees were still waiting to go home, but fortunately that radionuclide exposure, at…

Working Memory Impairment and Cardiovascular Hyperarousal in Young Primary Insomniacs
We investigated memory performance and cardiovascular activity in 13 primary insomniacs (PI) compared to 13 good sleepers (GS).

(R,R’)-4′-Methoxy-1-Naphthylfenoterol Targets GPR55-Mediated Ligand Internalization and Impairs Cancer Cell Motility
Here, we investigated the role of MNF in GPR55 signaling in human HepG2 and PANC-1 cancer cell lines in culture by focusing first on internalization of the fluorescent ligand Tocrifluor…

Mechanism of Action of Flufirvitide, a Peptide Inhibitor of Influenza Virus Infection
Influenza is an infectious disease typically transmitted through the air. It is responsible for seasonal epidemics affecting millions of people, and sporadic global pandemics. Influenza infection is a membrane fusion‐dependant process, occurring…

Neuroinflammation and Alpha-Synuclein Accumulation in Response to Glucocerebrosidase Deficiency Are Accompanied by Synaptic Dysfunction
In this report we describe and characterize two novel long-lived transgenic mouse models of Gba deficiency, along with a subchronic conduritol-ß-epoxide (CBE) exposure paradigm.

Vapor Pressure of Thiodiglycol
The new TDG vapor pressure data are in sharp contrast to widely accepted values from previous literature.

Biological Barriers and Current Strategies for Modifying Nanoparticle Bioavailability
This paper reviews the anatomy of the primary organs (kidney, liver, and spleen) responsible for nanoparticle bioelimination and the components of the innate immune system (complement system and scavenger receptors)…

Biomarkers in Pharmacology and Drug Discovery
The relative utility of single biomarkers compared to biomarker panels is discussed, along with paradigms for biomarker development, the latter in the context of three large-scale biomarker consortia, the Critical…

Comparative Molecular Field Analysis of Fenoterol Derivatives Interacting with an Agonist-Stabilized Form of the β(2)-Adrenergic Receptor
The β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist [3H]-(R,R′)-methoxyfenoterol was employed as the marker ligand in displacement studies measuring the binding affinities (Ki values) of the stereoisomers of a series of 4′-methoxyfenoterol analogs in…
