1. Adaptation of Helicobacter pylori Adherence Properties in Promotion of Host Tropism and Inflammatory Disease
Abstract : Being among the most prevalent of persistent infectious agents in humans worldwide, Helicobacter pylori induces chronic inflammation (gastritis), which may progress to peptic ulceration and stomach cancer. The ability to adhere to the gastric mucosa is considered to be both a colonization and virulence property of H. pylori. For adherence, H. READ MORE

2. Multifaceted adhesion properties of Helicobacter pylori in promotion of gastric disease
Abstract : Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative spiral-shaped bacteria that resides in the gastric mucosa and adheres to the epithelial lining of the human stomach. H. pylori adhesion mediates inflammation of the epithelium, which can lead to more severe diseases such as chronic active gastritis and gastric carcinoma. READ MORE

3. Helicobacter pylori : bacterial adhesion and host response
Abstract : The gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori infects more than half of the population worldwide. H. pylori manage to establish persistent infection, which would be life-long if not treated. In order to establish such an infection, this pathogen has to deal with the host immune system. READ MORE

4. Targeting the human glycoproteome: new enrichment protocols and mass spectrometric analyses reveal unique and novel glycosylation sites
Abstract : Glycosylation is one of the most common and structurally diverse posttranslational modifications of proteins. Given that protein glycosylation is involved in various cellular processes, the characterization of site-specific N- and O-linked glycosylations is becoming increasingly important. However, current mass spectrometry-based technologies, i.e. READ MORE

5. Lipoproteomics : A New Approach to the Identification and Characterization of Proteins in LDL and HDL
Abstract : A proteomic approach was applied to examine the protein composition of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in humans. LDL and HDL were isolated by density gradient ultracentrifugation, and proteins were separated with twodimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) and identified with peptide mass fingerprinting, using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry, and with amino acid sequencing using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.
