The occurrence of tolerance to a central depressant effect of nicotine [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1972 Summary . Rats were injected with 0·8 mg nicotine/kg, 0·8 mg amphetamine/kg or with saline immediately before being tested for 30 min in activity boxes. . During the first 3 trials the nicotine group were less active than the controls but from trial 5 onwards nicotine had a stimulant effect.

FoxO1 signaling in B cell malignancies and its therapeutic targeting
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.FoxO1 has context‐specific tumor suppressor or oncogenic character in myeloid and B cell malignancies. This includes tumor‐promoting properties such as stemness maintenance and DNA damage tolerance in acute leukemias, or regulation of cell proliferation and survival, or migration in mature B cell malignancies.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Venom peptides have shown promise in treating pain. Our study uses computer screening to identify a peptide that targets a sodium channel (NaV1.7) linked to chronic pain. We produced the peptide in the laboratory and refined its design, advancing the search for innovative pain therapies.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...

Mechanisms of central tolerance for B cells [PDF]
Nature Reviews Immunology, 2017 Immune tolerance hinders the potentially destructive responses of lymphocytes to host tissues. Tolerance is regulated at the stage of immature B cell development (central tolerance) by clonal deletion, involving apoptosis, and by receptor editing, which reprogrammes the specificity of B cells through secondary recombination of antibody genes.

Identification of novel small molecule inhibitors of ETS transcription factors
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.ETS transcription factors play an essential role in tumourigenesis and are indispensable for sprouting angiogenesis, a hallmark of cancer, which fuels tumour expansion and dissemination. Thus, targeting ETS transcription factor function could represent an effective, multifaceted strategy to block tumour growth. The evolutionarily conserved E‐Twenty‐Six

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae amino acid transporter Lyp1 has a broad substrate spectrum
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Yeast Amino acid Transporter family members mediate the import of amino acids, ranging from substrate specialists to generalists. Here, we show that the specialist transporter, Lyp1, has a broader substrate spectrum than previously described, with affinity constants spanning from micromolar to millimolar.

T-cell tolerance and autoimmunity in transgenic models of central and peripheral tolerance
Current Opinion in Immunology, 1994 Experiments with transgenic mice expressing genes encoding both antigens in defined tissues and T-cell receptor genes of known specificities have enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune states. They have also shed light on the means by which potentially autoreactive cells may be prevented from exerting ...
