Abstract Aims Our aim was to synthesize current evidence on the association between parental smoking and incidence of type 1 diabetes and islet autoantibody positivity (IA) in the offspring by conducting a systematic review and meta‐analysis. Methods We searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane Library until January 21, 2021, for human studies with ...

Allenamides Playing Domino: A Redox‐Neutral Photocatalytic Synthesis of Functionalized 2‐Aminofurans
Abstract A photoredox catalytic synthesis of functionalized 2‐aminofurans is proposed starting from α‐halo carbonyl substrates and N‐allenamides. The protocol proves to be efficient and sustainable thanks to: i) the use of visible light as green energy source, ii) the redox‐neutral nature of the transformation, allowing to avoid additives and strong ...

Alzheimer's disease drug development pipeline: 2022
Abstract Introduction Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents a global health crisis. Treatments are needed to prevent, delay the onset, slow the progression, improve cognition, and reduce behavioral disturbances of AD. We review the current clinical trials and drugs in development for the treatment of AD.

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Assembled from the α7 and β3 Subunits [PDF]
Intracellular recordings were performed in voltage-clamped Xenopus oocytes upon injection with a mixture of cDNAs encoding the beta3 and mutant alpha7 (L247Talpha7) neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) subunits. The expressed receptors maintained sensitivity to methyllycaconitine and to alpha-bungarotoxin but exhibited a functional profile

CHRNA7, encoding the neuronal alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (a7nAChR), is highly expressed in the brain, particularly in the hippocampus. It is situated in the 15q13.3 chromosome region, frequently associated with a Copy Number Variation (CNV),

Alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in macrophage apoptosis and efferocytosis
The development of atherosclerotic lesions depends on an important inflammatory component mediated mostly by macrophages. Notably, apoptosis of macrophages within the lesion and efficient clearance of apoptotic cells are key factors in lesion progression.

Proteomic Analysis of an α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Interactome [PDF]
The alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) is well established as the principal high-affinity alpha-bungarotoxin-binding protein in the mammalian brain. We isolated carbachol-sensitive alpha-bungarotoxin-binding complexes from total mouse brain tissue by affinity immobilization followed by selective elution, and these proteins were ...
