Regulation of NK cell development, maturation, and antitumor responses by the nuclear receptor NR2F6 by Johannes Woelk, Florian Hornsteiner, Stephanie Aschauer-Wallner, Patrizia Stoitzner, Gottfried Baier, Natascha Hermann-Kleiter

“…Our study demonstrates that the nuclear orphan receptor NR2F6 represses the expression of the activating receptor NKp46, an established key player in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity during infection and tumor rejection. Despite normal NK cell development in the bone marrow, germline Nr2f6-deficient mice exhibit impaired terminal maturation of NK cells in the periphery. …”

Oxidative impact on lipoprotein structure: Insights from dynamic light scattering by Nickolette Kong, Natalia Penaloza, Gustavo Agreda, Angela B. Nguyen, Joseph Gutheinz, Alison Tran, Nhi Nguyen, Tuong Vi Ho, Ana Marin, Birgit Mellis, Richa Chandra

“…Here it is demonstrated that dynamic light scattering (DLS) is sensitive and effective at measuring variation in lipoprotein size distributions following oxidative damage caused by peroxidation and nitration—two common physiological processes that play dual roles in both normal and pathogenic states. We establish the utility of DLS in detecting subtle variations in lipoprotein size, including potential aggregation and fission events resulting from chemical modifications. …”
