Repurposing antimicrobial agents for neuroprotection: Mechanisms, clinical potential, and challenges
Antimicrobial agents exert neuroprotective effects through modulation of interconnected pathways. Tetracyclines, macrolides, antimalarial agents, sulfones, and antiparasitic agents suppress neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and apoptosis while preserving mitochondrial function and neurotransmission.

ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.

Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

Divergent remodeling of TRPC channels occurs in Alzheimer's disease, with TRPC3 increased in neurons and reactive astrocytes and TRPC6 reduced in pyramidal neurons. These alterations may contribute to calcium dysregulation, neuroinflammation, and synaptic dysfunction during AD progression.

Elucidating Isoform Specific Roles of Calpain-1 and Calpain-2 in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed women’s cancer in Canada. Average patient survival rates are high, but they are significantly reduced for those patients whose cancer reaches stage IV – metastatic disease.

KU80 suppresses endonuclease G activity to preserve genomic integrity
Under normal conditions, EndoG remains restricted to mitochondria and the genome remains intact. When KU80 is absent, EndoG translocates into the nucleus, where it promotes DNA fragmentation and genomic instability. Thus, this work highlights the importance of KU80 in tightly controlling EndoG localization to preserve genome stability.

Elevated calpain activity in AngII infused calpain-1 +/+ and calpain-1 −/− aortas.
Spectrin breakdown products (A) were detected by Western blotting in tissue extracts from aortas in calpain-1 +/+ x LDL receptor −/− and calpain-1 −/− x −/− LDL receptor −/− mice infused with either saline or AngII for 7 days as a measure of calpain ...

Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Calpain is involved in tumor cell migration and invasion in cancer metastasis but not tumor cell-induced platelet aggregation. [PDF]
以前より腫瘍細胞が血小板凝集能を惹起し,血行性転移における遠隔臓器の血管内皮への接着に重要な役割を果たすと考えられているが,その分子メカニズムについて不明な点も多い。そこで本研究では,カルシウム依存性細胞内システインプロテアーゼであるcalpain に着目し,癌転移におけるcalpain の役割について検討を行った。B16/BL6メラノーマ細胞株,colon-26直腸がん由来細胞株の遊走能,浸潤能はコントロールと比較しcalpain 阻害剤,ALLN 添加により有意に抑制された ...
