Noggin depletion in adipocytes promotes obesity in mice. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
ObjectiveObesity has increased to pandemic levels and enhanced understanding of adipose regulation is required for new treatment strategies. Although bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) influence adipogenesis, the effect of BMP antagonists such as Noggin ...

Heart‐On‐a‐Chip with Integrated Ultrasoft Mechanosensors for Continuous Measurement of Cell‐ and Tissue‐Scale Contractile Stresses

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
We present a heart‐on‐a‐chip platform embedded with ultrasoft mechanosensors for real‐time, multi‐scale stress mapping in engineered cardiac tissues. The system enables simultaneous quantification of local cell‐generated stresses and global tissue contractile forces.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not

Across species: A comparative perspective on red cell homeostasis and its influence on our understanding of human physiology and disease

open access: yesBritish Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
This review highlights how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans. A comparative perspective has enhanced our knowledge of human red cell pathophysiology Summary This review emphasises how studies on animal red cells have enriched our understanding of the behaviour of those from humans.

Preclinical models for evaluating psychedelics in the treatment of major depressive disorder

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Psychedelic drugs have seen a resurgence in interest as a next generation of psychiatric medicines with potential as rapid‐acting antidepressants (RAADs). Despite promising early clinical trials, the mechanisms which underlie the effects of psychedelics are poorly understood.

PDE4D and PDE3B orchestrate distinct cAMP microdomains in 3T3‐L1 adipocytes

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Basal conditions: •Ins/PDE3B lowers cytoplasmic cAMP (cyt‐cAMP) without affecting plasma membrane cAMP (pm‐cAMP). •Insulin decreases lipid droplet cAMP (LD‐cAMP) independent of PDE3B. •FGF1/PDE4D modestly reduces both cyt‐ and pm‐cAMP, while PDE4D alone can modulate LD‐cAMP. ISO stimulation: •Ins/PDE3B has minimal impact on cyt‐cAMP.
