Unraveling the Morphological and Functional Maturation Mechanisms Underlying Human Neural Development Using iPSCs‐Derived Neuronal Model

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)‐derived neuronal model, Tian and colleagues reveal that voltage‐gated calcium channels Cav1.2 and Cav1.3, and their mediated calcium ion influx, are essential for early morphogenesis of human neuronal development, while ECEL1 underlies human neuronal functional developmental maturation through CALM3 ...

Detecting Repetitions and Periodicities in Proteins by Tiling the Structural Space [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The notion of energy landscapes provides conceptual tools for understanding the complexities of protein folding and function. Energy Landscape Theory indicates that it is much easier to find sequences that satisfy the "Principle of Minimal Frustration ...

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

A Perspective on the Role of Dynamic Alternative RNA Splicing in the Development, Specification, and Function of Axon Initial Segment

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Alternative splicing is a powerful mechanism for molecular and functional diversification. In neurons, alternative splicing extensively controls various developmental steps as well as the plasticity and remodeling of neuronal activity in the adult brain.

Biogenesis of the Avian Erythroid Membrane Skeleton : Receptor-mediated Assembly and Stabilization of Ankyrin (Goblin) and Spectrin [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Ankyrin is an extrinsic membrane protein in human erythrocytes that links the αß-spectrin-based extrinsic membrane skeleton to the membrane by binding simultaneously to the ß-spectrin subunit and to the transmembrane anion transporter.

CaMKII-dependent regulation of cardiac Na(+) homeostasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Na(+) homeostasis is a key regulator of cardiac excitation and contraction. The cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) channel, NaV1.5, critically controls cell excitability, and altered channel gating has been implicated in both inherited and acquired arrhythmias.

Cardiac ankyrins in health and disease [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2009
Ankyrins are critical components of ion channel and transporter signaling complexes in the cardiovascular system. Over the past 5 years, ankyrin dysfunction has been linked with abnormal ion channel and transporter membrane organization and fatal human arrhythmias.

A Subset of Pro‐inflammatory CXCL10+ LILRB2+ Macrophages Derives From Recipient Monocytes and Drives Renal Allograft Rejection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers a recipient‐derived monocyte‐to‐macrophage trajectory that drives inflammation during kidney transplant rejection. Using over 150 000 single‐cell profiles and more than 850 biopsies, the authors identify CXCL10+ macrophages as key predictors of graft loss.

Exon organization and novel alternative splicing of Ank3 in mouse heart. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Ankyrin-G is an adaptor protein that links membrane proteins to the underlying cytoskeletal network. Alternative splicing of the Ank3 gene gives rise to multiple ankyrin-G isoforms in numerous tissues.

Mechanisms of spinal glial activation in chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy: Focus on microglia and astrocytes

open access: yesIbrain, EarlyView.
Chemotherapy‐induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) remains a major clinical challenge, with central sensitization considered an important pathological mechanism in its occurrence and persistence. This review focuses on spinal astrocytes and microglia, systematically summarizing the pathological mechanisms of spinal glial cells involved in CIPN caused by
