DP1 receptor blockade attenuates microglial senescence and cognitive decline caused by PTGDS in exosomes from aged brains. ABSTRACT Aging leads to neurodegenerative diseases, such as cognitive decline, which are induced by persistent chronic low‐grade inflammation in the brain driven by microglial activation.

Diversity and evolution of ABC proteins in mycorrhiza-forming fungi [PDF]
Background: Transporter proteins are predicted to have an important role in the mycorrhizal symbiosis, due to the fact that this type of an interaction between plants and fungi requires a continuous nutrient and signalling exchange.

Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects >25 million people worldwide and is often associated with neuroinflammation. Increasing evidence links deficiency or malfunctioning of the enzyme phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), which converts 3‐phosphoglycerate to generate serine and the neurotransmitter glycine, with (drug‐resistant ...

Bacillus anthracis edema factor substrate specificity: evidence for new modes of action [PDF]
Since the isolation of Bacillus anthracis exotoxins in the 1960s, the detrimental activity of edema factor (EF) was considered as adenylyl cyclase activity only.

Stabilization of Human Multidrug Resistance Protein 4 (MRP4/ABCC4) Using Novel Solubilization Agents [PDF]
Membrane proteins (MPs) are important drug discovery targets for a wide range of diseases. However, elucidating the structure and function of native MP is notoriously challenging as their original structure has to be maintained once removed from the lipid bilayer.

Prostaglandin pathway gene expression in human placenta, amnion and choriodecidua is differentially affected by preterm and term labour and by uterine inflammation [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elucidation of the biochemical pathways involved in activation of preterm and term human labour would facilitate the development of effective management and inform judgements regarding the necessity for preterm tocolysis and post-term ...

Perinatal Maturation of Drug Transporters and Claudin‐5 at the Blood–Brain Barrier
P‐gp expression in the developping human cortex increases with age. In the mouse, gatekeepers of BBB integrity and transport are upregulated: tighter blood–brain barrier, increased claudin 5/Slco1a4/P‐gp expression as well as enhanced P‐gp‐mediated BBB efflux.
