Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment

Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Retinal and choroidal angiogenesis: a review of new targets

International Journal of Retina and Vitreous, 2017
Retinal and choroidal neovascularization are a major cause of significant visual impairment, worldwide. Understanding the various factors involved in the accompanying physiopathology is vital for development of novel treatments, and most important, for ...

Endometrial Stromal Cell Senescence: A Non‐Negligible Factor in Recurrent Pregnancy Loss

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
As populations age, links between female reproductive aging and infertility are increasingly evident. Cellular senescence, characterized by near‐irreversible cell‐cycle arrest and accumulation of damage, can impair tissue function. In the endometrium, aberrant senescence of endometrial stromal cells (EnSCs) may compromise receptivity, hinder embryo ...

The Immunoregulatory and Hematopoietic Effects of Momelotinib in a Murine Bone Marrow Failure Model

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Momelotinib, a selective small‐molecule inhibitor of JAK1/2 and the bone morphogenic protein receptor kinase activin A receptor type I (ACVR1), exerts its effects by inhibiting the overactivation of the BMP/ACVR1/SMAD signaling pathway. This inhibition reduces hepcidin production in hepatocytes, and reduces inflammation, aberrant cytokine signaling ...

Pathomechanisms of Autoimmune Based Testicular Inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Infection and inflammation of the male reproductive tract are relevant causes of infertility. Inflammatory damage occurs in the special immunosuppressive microenvironment of the testis, a hallmark termed testicular immune privilege, which allows ...

UBE3A Inhibits Trophoblast Cell Migration and Invasion by Promoting ITGB1 Degradation and Affecting PI3K/AKT Signaling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Preeclampsia (PE) is an obstetric disease that is characterized by reduced migration and invasion of placental trophoblast cells. Here, the effects of the E3 ubiquitin ligase UBE3A on the migration and invasion of trophoblast cells were evaluated.

Parkinson's Disease Patient‐Specific Striatum Organoids Show Hallmarks of Increased Inflammation

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dopaminergic neurons from the substantia nigra pars compacta project their axons into the dorsal striatum, forming the nigrostriatal pathway. In Parkinson's disease (PD), dopaminergic terminals degenerate in the striatum, leading to dopamine depletion, which in turn causes alterations in the basal ganglia circuits that are essential

TGF-β: An Important Mediator of Allergic Disease and a Molecule with Dual Activity in Cancer Development

Journal of Immunology Research, 2014
The transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily is a family of structurally related proteins that includes TGF-β, activins/inhibins, and bone morphogenic proteins (BMPs).

Liver Steatosis in Induced Hepatocytes From Carriers of Spinal Muscular Atrophy

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Although classically characterized as a motor neuron disease, spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is increasingly recognized as a multisystem disorder. We previously showed hepatocyte‐intrinsic steatosis in SMA, raising the question of whether SMA carriers, who are typically asymptomatic, may also exhibit subclinical hepatic ...
