    Antibody response after third dose of COVID-19 mRNA vaccination in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients is comparable to that in healthy counterparts

    To determine the efficacy of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) recipients, we measured antibody titer serially in 92 allo-HSCT patients. Among the e...

    Selective and competitive inhibition of kynurenine aminotransferase 2 by glycyrrhizic acid and its analogues

    The enzyme kynurenine aminotransferase (KAT) catalyses the conversion of kynurenine (KYN) to kynurenic acid (KYNA). Although the isozymes KAT1–4 have been identified, KYNA is mainly produced by KAT2 in brain t...

    Lipopolysaccharide shock reveals the immune function of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 through the regulation of IL-6/stat3 signalling

    Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (Ido2) is a recently identified catalytic enzyme in the tryptophan-kynurenine pathway that is expressed primarily in monocytes and dendritic cells. To elucidate the biological rol...

    Depressive symptoms as a side effect of Interferon-α therapy induced by induction of indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1

    Depression is known to occur frequently in chronic hepatitis C viral (HCV) patients receiving interferon (IFN)-α therapy. In this study, we investigated whether indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase1 (IDO1)-mediated try...

    Programmable multivalent display of receptor ligands using peptide nucleic acid nanoscaffolds

    Multivalent effects dictate the binding affinity of multiple ligands on one molecular entity to receptors. Integrins are receptors that mediate cell attachment through multivalent binding to peptide sequences ...
