Serum d-serine levels are altered in early phases of Alzheimer’s disease: towards a precocious biomarker

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
d-Serine acts as a co-agonist of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) which appear overactivated in AD, while d-aspartate is a modulatory molecule acting on NMDAR as a second agonist.

Epigenetic Activation of ASCT2 in the Hippocampus Contributes to Depression-Like Behavior by Regulating D-Serine in Mice

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
The roles of D-serine in depression are raised concerned recently as an intrinsic co-agonist for the NMDA receptor. However, the mechanisms underlying its regulation are not fully elucidated. ASCT2 is a Na+-dependent D-serine transporter.

An Overview of the Involvement of D-Serine in Cognitive Impairment in Normal Aging and Dementia

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2021
Dementia, of which Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form, is characterized by progressive cognitive deterioration, including profound memory loss, which affects functioning in many aspects of life.

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Serine Deficiency Exacerbates Inflammation and Oxidative Stress via Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis in D-Galactose-Induced Aging Mice

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, 2020
Inflammation and oxidative stress play key roles in the process of aging and age-related diseases. Since serine availability plays important roles in the support of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory defense system, we explored whether serine deficiency ...

D-serine reduces memory impairment and neuronal damage induced by chronic lead exposure

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2021
Although exogenous D-serine has been applied as a neural regulatory intervention in many studies, the role played by D-serine in hippocampal injuries caused by lead exposure remains poorly understood.

Glycosyltransferase Inhibitors:  Synthesis of d-threo-PDMP, l-threo-PDMP, and Other Brain Glucosylceramide Synthase Inhibitors from d- or l-Serine

open access: yes, 2016
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure (1S,2S)-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-N-morpholino-1-propanol (l-threo-PDMP) (1a) from l-serine, and the enantiomer (1R,2R)-1-phenyl-2-decanoylamino-3-morpholino-1-propanol (d-threo-PDMP] (1b) from d-serine is reported.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
