AMPAR/TARP stoichiometry differentially modulates channel properties
AMPARs control fast synaptic communication between neurons and their function relies on auxiliary subunits, which importantly modulate channel properties. Although it has been suggested that AMPARs can bind to TARPs with ...
hLMSC Secretome Affects Macrophage Activity Differentially Depending on Lung-Mimetic Environments
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based therapies for inflammatory diseases rely mainly on the paracrine ability to modulate the activity of macrophages. Despite recent advances, there is scarce information regarding changes ...
Assessment of muscle fiber adaptation in footballers using a new ELISA assay of myosin isoforms
BACKGROUND: To measure the impact of training models on injury incidence, data of health and performance were integrated to study fiber adaptation during a competitive season. We studied football players over a season, ...
The membrane-permeable calmodulin inhibitors (W-7/W-13) bind to membranes changing the electrostatic surface potential. Dual effect of W-13 on EGFR activation
Membrane-permeable calmodulin inhibitors, such as the napthalenesulfonamide derivatives W-7/W-13, trifluoperazine, and calmidazolium, are used widely to investigate the role of calcium/calmodulin (Ca2+/CaM) in living cells. ...
MYADM regulates Rac1 targeting to ordered membranes required for cell spreading and migration
Membrane organization into condensed domains or rafts provides molecular platforms for selective recruitment of proteins. Cell migration is a general process that requires spatiotemporal targeting of Rac1 to membrane rafts. ...
Deficits in coordinated neuronal activity and network topology are striatal hallmarks in Huntington's disease.
Background. Network alterations underlying neurodegenerative diseases often precede symptoms and functional deficits. Thus, their early identification is central for improved prognosis. In Huntington's disease (HD), the ...
Decompensated MASH-cirrhosis model by acute and toxic effects of phenobarbital.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), is a prominent cause for liver cirrhosis. MASH-cirrhosis is responsible for liver complications and there is no specific treatment. To develop new therapeutic ...
Acyl-CoA synthetase 3 promotes lipid droplet biogenesis in ER microdomains.
Control of lipid droplet (LD) nucleation and copy number are critical, yet poorly understood, processes. We use model peptides that shift from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to LDs in response to fatty acids to characterize ...

Fibre-type-specific and Mitochondrial Biomarkers of Muscle Damage after Mountain Races
Consequences of running mountain races on muscle damage were investigated by analysing serum muscle enzymes and fibre-type-specific sarcomere proteins. We studied 10 trained amateur and 6 highly trained runners who ran a ...
Ly9 (CD229) antibody targeting depletes marginal zone and germinal center B cells in lymphoid tissues and reduces salivary gland inflammation in a mouse model of Sjögren's Syndrome
Sjögren's Syndrome (SjS) is a common chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the B cell hyperactivation, lymphocyte infiltration, and tissue damage of exocrine glands. It can also present life-threatening extraglandular ...
Small fragments of hyaluronan are increased in individuals with obesity and contribute to low-grade inflammation through TLR-mediated activation of innate immune cells.
Background and aim: Extracellular matrix (ECM) components released during excessive fat mass expansion are considered potential endogenous danger/alarm signals contributing to innate immune system activation. The aim of ...
Epidermal growth factor secreted from submandibular salivary glands interferes with the lipolytic effect of adrenaline in mice
We had described that epidermal growth factor (EGF) interfered with the lipolytic effect of catecholamines in isolated adipocytes. Since catecholamines stimulate the release of EGF from submandibular salivary glands to ...
Characterization of Novel P-Selectin Targeted Complement Inhibitors in Murine Models of Hindlimb Injury and Transplantation
The complement system has long been recognized as a potential druggable target for a variety of inflammatory conditions. Very few complement inhibitors have been approved for clinical use, but a great number are in clinical ...
Modulation of TRESK background K+ channel by membrane stretch
The two-pore domain K+ channel TRESK is expressed in dorsal root ganglion and trigeminal sensory neurons where it is a major contributor to background K+ current. TRESK acts as a break to prevent excessive sensory neuron ...
Clathrin Assembly Lymphoid Myeloid Leukemia (CALM) Protein: Localization in Endocytic-coated Pits, Interactions with Clathrin, and the Impact of Overexpression on Clathrin-mediated Traffic
The clathrin assembly lymphoid myeloid leukemia (CALM) gene encodes a putative homologue of the clathrin assembly synaptic protein AP180. Hence the biochemical properties, the subcellular localization, and the role in ...

Open-Source Hardware May Address the Shortage in Medical Devices for Patients with Low-Income and Chronic Respiratory Diseases in Low-Resource Countries
Respiratory diseases pose an increasing socio-economic burden worldwide given their high prevalence and their elevated morbidity and mortality. Medical devices play an important role in managing acute and chronic respiratory ...
SLAMF5 enhances autophagy and fine-tunes cytokine response in monocyte-derived dendritic cells via stabilization of Interferon regulatory Factor 8
Signaling lymphocyte activation molecule family (SLAMF) receptors are essential regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses. The function of SLAMF5/CD84, a family member with almost ubiquitous expression within the ...
Slamf6 negatively regulates autoimmunity
The nine SLAM family (Slamf) receptors are positive or negative regulators of adaptive and innate immune responses, and of several autoimmune diseases. Here we report that the transfer of Slamf6-/- B6 CD4+ T cells into ...
