Correlative study on impaired prostaglandin E2 regulation in EAT and maladaptive cardiac remodeling via EPAC2 and ST2 signaling in overweight CVD subjects [PDF]
There is recent evidence that the dysfunctional responses of a peculiar visceral fat deposit known as epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) can directly promote cardiac enlargement in the case of obesity.

Renal transplantation in rare monogenic urinary stone disease – A single-center experience
Introduction: Monogenic urinary stone disease (MUSD) tends to be more severe with early onset of symptoms and a higher risk of chronic kidney disease than sporadic USD. The literature on the outcome after renal transplant in patients with certain MUSD is

Lsd1 ablation triggers metabolic reprogramming of brown adipose tissue [PDF]
Previous work indicated that lysine-specific demethylase 1 (Lsd1) can positively regulate the oxidative and thermogenic capacities of white and beige adipocytes.

Efforts to develop new male or female nonhormonal, orally available contraceptives assume that to be effective and safe, targets must be (1) essential for fertility; (2) amenable to targeting by small-molecule inhibitors; and (3) restricted to the ...

A network analysis to identify mediators of germline-driven differences in breast cancer prognosis. [PDF]
Identifying the underlying genetic drivers of the heritability of breast cancer prognosis remains elusive. We adapt a network-based approach to handle underpowered complex datasets to provide new insights into the potential function of germline variants ...

Genetic Testing and FOX News [PDF]
Genetic testing is transforming kidney care, arguably with similar impact as the adoption of kidney biopsies in the 1950s. It is incumbent on nephrologists to teach the genetics of kidney disease and the accessibility of genetic testing.

Because Mg2+ complexes with ATP, changes in intracellular Mg2+ ([Mg2+]i), monitored with Mag‐520, reflect, in part, ATP levels. Mag‐520 allows the concomitant detection of [Mg2+]i and [Ca2+]i. [Mg2+]i increases under two conditions that reduce ATP: starvation and capacitation. Conversely, nutrient addition to starved sperm decrease Mag‐520 fluorescence.

The tyrosine kinase FER is responsible for the capacitation-associated increase in tyrosine phosphorylation in murine sperm [PDF]
Sperm capacitation is required for fertilization. At the molecular level, this process is associated with fast activation of protein kinase A. Downstream of this event, capacitating conditions lead to an increase in tyrosine phosphorylation. The identity
