Proteoglycans in granulomatous lung diseases.
In nongranulomatous fibrotic lung conditions, we have recently shown that early collagen synthesis by myofibroblasts occurs in an extracellular matrix rich in the proteoglycan versican. We hypothesized that versican is associated with the process of collagen synthesis resulting from chronic inflammation. In this study, we examined the localization of proteoglycans and collagen in the granulomat...
متن کاملOfatumumab Monoclonal Antibody Affinity Maturation Through in silico Modeling
Background: Ofatumumab, an anti-CD20 mAb, was approved in 2009 for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. This mAb acts through immune-mediated mechanisms, in particular complement-dependent cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity by natural killer cells as well as antibody-dependent phagocytosis by macrophages. Apoptosis induction is another mechanism of this antibody...
متن کاملStem Cells Application in Modeling of Human Genetic Diseases
The use of animal models in modeling of human genetic disease has many advantages. In some cases, however, this method may not be applicable due to some limitations, such as differences in tissue composition, anatomy and physiology of humans and animals. Isogenic human disease models are a population of cells that are selected or engineered to model a specific genetic disease, in vitro. They ar...
متن کاملMetabolic modeling of microbial strains in silico.
The large volume of genome-scale data that is being produced and made available in databases on the World Wide Web is demanding the development of integrated mathematical models of cellular processes. The analysis of reconstructed metabolic networks as systems leads to the development of an in silico or computer representation of collections of cellular metabolic constituents, their interaction...
