Somatic cell-derived extracellular vesicles and phenotypic outcomes in the next generation
(2023-05-31)
Evidence from both human and animal studies demonstrate that paternal experiences and exposures can cause phenotypic changes in the next generation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by somatic cells are hypothesised ...
Extracellular Vesicles in Hepatobiliary Cancer Management
(2023-04-19)
Cancer is a global health problem that will intensify in the upcoming years and decades. Hepatobiliary cancers, comprising hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) and gallbladder carcinoma (GbCA), are among ...
CA1 Network Dynamics During Impaired Working Memory in Temporal Lobe Epileptic Mice
(2023-06-12)
Around 50 million people worldwide suffer from epilepsy. Seizures are not the only feature of epilepsy that patients suffer from. Despite the fact that other comorbidities of epilepsy such as memory deficits widely impact ...
Functions of the DEAH-box helicase DHX36 in type I interferon signaling
(2023-01-06)
The induction of type I interferons (IFN) is a hallmark of foreign nucleic acids immune sensing by the innate immune system. Based on the universal molecular structure of DNA and RNA throughout all kingdoms of life, the ...
PML and its degradation by arsenic trioxide in interferon-mediated neuro-inflammation
(2023-02-06)
Activation of interferon type-I (IFN-I) production and downstream signaling pathways mediate the tissue response to pathogens such as viruses, but its aberrant activation has been suggested to contribute to the aging process ...
Pharmacologic intervention in macrophage metabolism: Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier inhibition by Mitoglitazone modulates inflammation
(2023-08-09)
Upon Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, macrophages rapidly change their transcriptional- and translational network and rewire their metabolism. Mitochondrial pyruvate import via the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) ...
Legionnaires' Disease - the impact of cigarette smoke and functional lung recovery
(2023-02-14)
Legionnaires’ Disease is a severe type of pneumonia most commonly caused by the bacterial species Legionella pneumophila and Legionella longbeachae. Epidemiological studies show that cigarette smoke is a major risk factor ......
Primary cilia and their effects on immune cell functions and metabolism: a model
(2022-05)
Primary cilia are hair-like protrusions of the plasma membrane that function as cellular antennae and are present on most cells in the human body. Primary cilia dysfunction leads to severe diseases, commonly termed ...
Characterization of the zinc-sensitive metal-regulatory transcription factor 1 in hippocampal epileptic network formation using an animal model of Temporal Lobe Epilepsy
(2023-10-02)
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is the most common form of focal epilepsy. It usually occurs after a transient brain insult, including status epilepticus (SE), which triggers a latent period of epileptogenesis prior to the ......
A basal forebrain to midbrain circuit drives exploratory locomotion
(2023-10-26)
Locomotion is a fundamental behavior that comprises different specialized neuronal networks. In the basal forebrain, the glutamatergic neurons of the medial septum and diagonal band of Broca (MSDBglu) can initiate ......
