CK2α Deficiency Drives Myocardial Fibrosis via Desmin‐Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CK2α preserves mitochondrial homeostasis by phosphorylating Desmin to recruit Cryab, ensuring proper filament assembly. CK2α deficiency disrupts this interaction, causing mitochondrial dysfunction, metabolic shifts, bioenergetic failure, and oxidative stress—ultimately establishing a pro‐fibrotic environment that drives cardiac fibrosis.

Development and validation of Triticum phytobiological method as an alternative procedure for investigating in vivo acute toxicity on mice [PDF]

, 2017
The goal of this study was to validate an alternative method for determining in vivo acute toxicity using vegetal material instead of laboratory animals, starting from the phytobiological method known also as the Triticum technique.

Resolution of Refractory Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia in Costello Syndrome Using Trametinib: A Case Supporting MEK Inhibitors as Targeted, Specific Antiarrhythmic

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arrhythmias affect approximately half of patients with Costello syndrome (CS, OMIM # 218040), with non‐reentrant atrial tachycardia being the most common. This case describes an infant with Costello syndrome carrying the pathogenic HRAS c.34G>A (p.G12S) variant who developed early‐onset, drug‐refractory multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT ...

Regulation of Neuromodulator Receptor Efficacy - Implications for Whole-Neuron and Synaptic Plasticity [PDF]

, 2004
Membrane receptors for neuromodulators (NM) are highly regulated in their distribution and efficacy - a phenomenon which influences the individual cell's response to central signals of NM release.

Aging and aerobic fitness affect the contribution of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves to the rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating [PDF]

, 2011
Sedentary aging results in a diminished rapid cutaneous vasodilator response to local heating. We investigated whether this diminished response was due to altered contributions of noradrenergic sympathetic nerves; assessing 1) the age-related decline and,

Nano‐Gs Protein Peptidomimetics: Rational Design of Gα C‐Terminus‐Derived Peptides Mimicking Key Components of Gs‐β2AR Interactions

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are major therapeutic targets. Modulating GPCR activity through intracellular sites is evolving. A structure‐ and computation‐assisted approach generated small G protein‐derived peptidomimetics targeting the intracellular binding crevice of the β2 adrenergic receptor mimicking features of the full G protein.

Single prazosin infusion in prelimbic cortex Fosters extinction of amphetamine-induced conditioned place preference [PDF]

, 2017
Exposure to drug-associated cues to induce extinction is a useful strategy to contrast cue-induced drug seeking. Norepinephrine (NE) transmission in medial prefrontal cortex has a role in the acquisition and extinction of conditioned place preference ...

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.
