Awid mshain Almutiry, Saleh abdullah Alshahrani, Khaled mhthar Alkaf.

Abstract

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. several pharmacological groups are used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM); however, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently ap-proved tirzepatide.

Susan H. Tam, Stephen G. McCarthy, Anthony A. Armstrong, Sandeep Somani.

Abstract

Engineering of fragment crystallizable (Fc) domains of therapeutic immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies to eliminate their immune effector functions while retaining other Fc characteristics has numerous applications, including blocking antigens on Fc gamma (Fcγ)

Sakeen W. Kashem and Bryce A. Binstadt.

Abstract

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene, leading to defects in T cell selection.

Potential Roles of Antiphospholipid Antibodies in Generating Platelet-C4d in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Chau-Ching Liu, Travis Schofield, Amy Tang, Susan Manzi.

Abstract

Premature, accelerated onset of atherothrombotic disease is prevalent in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Most, if not all, atherothrombotic diseases are likely to involve platelets and complement.

Strategies for Selecting Membrane Protein-Specific Antibodies using Phage Display with Cell-Based Panning.

Mohamed A. Alfaleh, Martina L. Jones, Christopher B. Howard.

Abstract

Membrane proteins are attractive targets for monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovery and development. Although several approved mAbs against membrane proteins have been isolated from phage antibody libraries, the process is challenging.
