Disease-specific phenotypes in dopamine neurons from human iPS-based models of genetic and sporadic Parkinson's disease
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) offer an unprecedented opportunity to model human disease in relevant cell types, but it is unclear whether they could successfully model age-related diseases such as Parkinson's disease ...
Generation of neurons from somatic cells of healthy individuals and neurological patients through induced pluripotency or direct conversion
Access to healthy or diseased human neural tissue is a daunting task and represents a barrierfor advancing our understanding about the cellular, genetic, and molecular mechanisms underly-ing neurogenesis and neurodegeneration. ...
Neurokinin receptors differentially mediate endogenous acetylcholine release evoked by tachykinins in the neostriatum.
The regulation of neostriatal cholinergic function by tachykinins (TKs) has been studied by measuring endogenous ACh released from rat neostriatal slices. Septide (SEP; a highly selective substance P analog), neurokinin A ...
Immunoelectron microscopic localization of transforming growth factor alpha in rat colon
Transforming growth factor alpha (TGF alpha) is a polypeptide, which binds to the epidermal growth factor receptor to carry out its function related to cell proliferation and differentiation. The ultrastructural localisation ...
Cellubrevin is present in the basolateral endocytic compartment of hepatocytes and follows the transcytotic pathway after IgA internalization
The endocytic compartment of polarized cells is organized in basolateral and apical endosomes plus those endocytic structures specialized in recycling and transcytosis, which are still poorly characterized. The complexity ...
Autophagy-mediated NCOR1 degradation is required for brown fat maturation and thermogenesis
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis affects energy balance, and thereby it has the potential to induce weight loss and to prevent obesity. Here, we document a macroautophagic/autophagic-dependent mechanism of peroxisome ...
Investigation of CCL18 and A1AT as potential urinary biomarkers for bladder cancer detection
BACKGROUND: In this study, we further investigated the association of two biomarkers, CCL18 and A1AT, with bladder cancer (BCa) and evaluated the influence of potentially confounding factors in an experimental model. ...
Spontaneous functional recovery after focal damage in neuronal cultures
Damage in biological neuronal networks triggers a complex functional reorganization whose mechanisms are still poorly understood. To delineate this reorganization process, here we investigate the functional alterations of ...
Updated Toolbox for Assessing Neuronal Network Reconstruction after Cell Therapy
Cell therapy has proven to be a promising treatment for a range of neurological disorders, including Parkinson Disease, drug-resistant epilepsy, and stroke, by restoring function after brain damage. Nevertheless, evaluating ...
Pituitary Tumor-Transforming Gene 1/Delta like Non-Canonical Notch Ligand 1 Signaling in Chronic Liver Diseases.
The management of chronic liver diseases (CLDs) remains a challenge, and identifying effective treatments is a major unmet medical need. In the current review we focus on the pituitary tumor transforming gene (PTTG1)/delta ...
SLAM Family Receptors and Autoimmunity
The immune system is responsible for the defense against a wide array of pathogens but without responding to each individual’s (self) antigens. Autoimmune diseases are characterized by a loss of tolerance to self antigens ...
Histone H4 acetylation is dysregulated in active seminiferous tubules adjacent to testicular tumours
Study question: Is histone H4 acetylation (H4ac) altered in the seminiferous tubules of patients affected by testicular tumours? Summary answer: A considerable dysregulation of H4ac was detected in the cells of the ...
Design, synthesis, and in vitro and in vivo characterization of new memantine analogs for Alzheimer's disease
Currently, of the few accessible symptomatic therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD), memantine is the only N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) blocker approved by the FDA. This work further explores a series of memantine ...
Preclinical study of microphthalmia-associated transcription factor inhibitor ML329 in gastrointestinal stromal tumor growth
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) comprise about 80% of mesenchymal neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract. Although imatinib mesylate is the preferred treatment, the development of drug resistance highlights the ...
Ubiquitination mediates Kv1.3 endocytosis as a mechanism for protein Kinase C-dependent modulation
The voltage-dependent potassium channel Kv1.3 plays essential physiological functions in the immune system. Kv1.3, regulating the membrane potential, facilitates downstream Ca2+ -dependent pathways and becomes concentrated ...
Maternal proteomic profiling reveals alterations in lipid metabolism in late-onset fetal growth restriction
Fetal growth restriction defined as the failure to achieve the fetal genetic growth potential is a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. The role of maternal adaptations to placental insufficiency in this ...
Andronet News. Spring/Summar 2025
We are more than halfway through the grant period and in the follow-up of this year’s biggest ANDRONET activity, the European Testis Workshop (ETW). This biennial event gathering ‘testis enthusiasts’ took place in ...
MicroCT imaging reveals differential 3D micro-scale remodelling of the murine aorta in ageing and Marfan syndrome
Aortic wall remodelling is a key feature of both ageing and genetic connective tissue diseases, which are associated with vasculopathies such as Marfan syndrome (MFS). Although the aorta is a 3D structure, little attention ...
Mediterranean Diet Pattern: Potential Impact on the Different Altered Pathways Related to Cardiovascular Risk in Advanced Chronic Kidney Disease
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the most common cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Several studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet reduces the risk of CVD due to its influence ...
Caveolin interaction governs Kv1.3 lipid raft targeting
The spatial localization of ion channels at the cell surface is crucial for their functional role. Many channels localize in lipid raft microdomains, which are enriched in cholesterol and sphingolipids. Caveolae, specific ...
