Electroacupuncture at the Dazhui and Baihui acupoints and different frequencies (10 and 50 Hz) protects against apoptosis by up-regulating ERK1/2-mediated signaling in rats after global cerebral ischemia [PDF]
Objective(s): This study assessed the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation at different frequencies at the Dazhui and Baihui acupoints in the subacute phase after transient global cerebral ischemia (GCI).

Amino-terminal cysteine residues of RGS16 are required for palmitoylation and modulation of G(i)- and G(q)-mediated signaling [PDF]
RGS proteins (Regulators of G protein Signaling) are a recently discovered family of proteins that accelerate the GTPase activity of heterotrimeric G protein α subunits of the i, q, and 12 classes.

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

Revisiting allostery in CREB-binding protein (CBP) using residue-based interaction energy
CREB-binding protein (CBP) is a multi-subunit scaffold protein complex in transcription regulation process, binding and interacting with ligands such as mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) and c-Myb allosterically. Here in this study, we have revisited the concept of allostery in CBP via residue-based interaction energy calculation based on molecular dynamics

Scalp electroacupuncture (SA) through activation of the trigeminal pathway exerts anti‐inflammatory, antidepressant, and anxiolytic effects in an animal model of post‐traumatic stress disorder induced by single prolonged stress. This suggests that SA is involved in neuroinflammation and changes in brain‐derived neurotrophic factor protein through the ...

Diet transition to a high-fat diet for 3 weeks reduces brain omega-3-fatty acid levels, alters BDNF signaling and induces anxiety & depression-like behavior in adult rats [PDF]
Background: The consumption of diets high in calories and low in nutrient value is becoming increasingly common in modern society, which can lead to metabolic disorders like diabetes and obesity, and potentially to psychiatric disorders.

Liposomal Delivery of L‐2‐Hydroxyglutarate for Targeting Epigenetic Dysregulation in Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis involves cartilage degeneration, inflammation, and epigenetic dysregulation. A liposomal formulation of the TET1 inhibitor L‐2‐hydroxyglutarate to overcome rapid joint clearance was developed. The formulation showed good physicochemical properties, reduced inflammatory and catabolic gene expression in chondrocytes, and alleviated ...

The T2238C human atrial natriuretic peptide molecular variant and the risk of cardiovascular diseases [PDF]
Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) is a cardiac hormone which plays important functions to maintain cardio-renal homeostasis. The peptide structure is highly conserved among species. However, a few gene variants are known to fall within the human ANP gene.
