Biopterin in Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Tetrahydrobiopterin is an essential co-factor in the natural synthesis of dopamine. Oral tetrahydrobiopterin was given in small doses to four patients with early Parkinson's disease but had no discernible effect.

Hippo Pathway Drives Durable Non‐Cell‐Autonomous Ferroptosis Resistance in Lung Cancer
YAP/TAZ, key effectors in lung cancer progression, paradoxically sensitize tumor cells to ferroptosis. This study reveals that YAP/TAZ‐low cells confer non‐cell‐autonomous, GCH1‐mediated durable ferroptosis resistance to neighboring YAP/TAZ‐high cells via a soluble factor, highlighting a Hippo pathway‐linked mechanism of tumor adaptation and survival ...

Cardiomyocyte tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis regulates fatty acid metabolism and susceptibility to ischaemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
New Findings What is the central question of this study? What are the physiological roles of cardiomyocyte-derived tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) in cardiac metabolism and stress response? What is the main finding and its importance? Cardiomyocyte BH4 has

The Leishmania phosphatase PTP1, and possibly the genetically similar PTP2, interacts with the Leishmania transmembrane protein DUF21. When both ptp1 and ptp2 are knocked out of Leishmania (LdΔPTP1/2), the parasite can no longer survive without magnesium in vitro and has reduced viability in the host macrophage. Conversely, in duf21 knockout (LdΔDUF21),

Further Insights Into Anticholinergic Action Informed by Japanese Anticholinergic Risk Scale
ABSTRACT The increased anticholinergic burden caused by medications in older adults is one of the adverse drug reactions of particular concern, as it can exacerbate the onset of geriatric syndromes or induce cognitive dysfunction, and is also related to the issue of polypharmacy.

Genomic data offer a powerful tool for studying the molecular interactions between parasites and their hosts, but they remain scarce for parasitic monogenean flatworms. This study presents the first high‐quality phased genome assembly for monogeneans (Gyrodactylus kobayashii), and uses it to predict key interacting proteins between monogenean parasite ‐

Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide: the gasotransmitter paradigm of the vascular system. [PDF]
There are several reviews on NO and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) and their role in vascular diseases in the current relevant literature. The aim of this review is to discuss, within the limits of present knowledge, the interconnection between these two ...

Consensus Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Deficiency
ABSTRACT Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyses the rate‐limiting step in dopamine biosynthesis. Autosomal recessive tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency (THD) leads to clinical phenotypes reflecting the deficiency of dopamine, norepinephrine, or epinephrine in the central nervous system (CNS), presenting along a continuous spectrum from mild to severe forms ...
