Prodromal Parkinson's disease and the catecholaldehyde hypothesis: Insight from olfactory bulb organotypic cultures

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 37, Issue 12, December 2023., 2023
Olfactory dysfunction is one of the most prevalent symptoms of Parkinson's disease preceding clinical onset by up to a decade. However, PD models focus mainly on motor symptoms and nigrostriatal degeneration. Here, we characterize cultured olfactory bulb organotypic slices and cells and explore the effect of DOPAL, a metabolite of dopamine.

Guidelines for mouse and human DC generation

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 53, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
The article on DC generation is part of the DC Guidelines article collection providing methods for the isolation of mouse and human cellular sources that can be cultured with different growth factors to generate the known subsets of DC. Abstract This article is part of the Dendritic Cell Guidelines article series, which provides a collection of state ...

Sexually dimorphic oxytocin receptor‐expressing (OXTR) neurons in the anteroventral periventricular nucleus (AVPV) in the postpartum female mouse are involved in maternal behavior

open access: yesJournal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 35, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
The purpose of the present study was to understand the function of sexually dimorphic OXTR neurons. The study revealed that the activity of the sexually dimorphic OXTR neurons is necessary for maternal behavior in female mice. Abstract Maternal care is crucial for the survival and development of offspring.

Exploring causal mechanisms and quantifying direct and indirect effects using a joint modeling approach for recurrent and terminal events

open access: yesStatistics in Medicine, Volume 42, Issue 22, Page 4028-4042, 30 September 2023., 2023
Abstract Recurrent events are commonly encountered in biomedical studies. In many situations, there exist terminal events, such as death, which are potentially related to the recurrent events. Joint models of recurrent and terminal events have been proposed to address the correlation between recurrent events and terminal events.

Variability in nutrient composition of the edible long‐horned grasshopper (Ruspolia differens) in Uganda and its potential in alleviating food insecurity

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 3558-3574, June 2023., 2023
Long‐horned grasshoppers are consumed in over 21 African countries. Crude protein (28%–45%), crude fat (41%–54%), and energy (582–644 Kj/100 g) of grasshoppers are comparable to that of plant and animal origins. Grasshopper meal could be considered as functional food ingredients capable of supplying adequate essential macro‐ and micronutrients ...

Monoclonal antibodies for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma: A literature review

open access: yesCancer Reports, Volume 6, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a relatively common and heterogenous malignancy of different organs, such as the skin, esophagus, and lungs. Although most cases experience good survival with surgical methods, management of advanced types of the disease remains challenging.

Rare, common, alien and native species follow different rules in an understory plant community

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Many parks and forests have experienced centuries of multispecies invasions. Using a multi‐site turnover metric, we differentiate between the structure and drivers of the geographically rare and common alien and native understorey plants. Distinct differences were identified between the alien and native species; namely that natives were driven by ...

Tumor‐stroma ratio is associated with Miller‐Payne score and pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HER2‐negative early breast cancer

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, Volume 149, Issue 5, Page 1181-1188, 1 September 2021., 2021
Abstract The tumor‐stroma ratio (TSR) has proven to be a strong prognostic factor in breast cancer, demonstrating better survival for patients with stroma‐low tumors. Since the role of the TSR as a predictive marker for neoadjuvant chemotherapy outcome is yet unknown, this association was evaluated for HER2‐negative breast cancer in the prospective ...

Enhanced differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells toward the midbrain dopaminergic neuron lineage through GLYPICAN‐4 downregulation

open access: yesSTEM CELLS Translational Medicine, Volume 10, Issue 5, Page 725-742, May 2021., 2021
Schematic representation of the functional properties acquired by human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) following GLYPICAN‐4 (GPC4) downregulation versus control. This includes impaired in vivo tumorigenesis as assessed by flank xenografts, and enhanced differentiation toward ventral midbrain dopaminergic (VMDA) neuron progenitors both in vitro

Comorbidities and complications in adults with pyruvate kinase deficiency

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 484-492, April 2021., 2021
Abstract Objectives Pyruvate kinase (PK) deficiency is caused by PKLR gene mutations, leading to defective red blood cell glycolysis and hemolytic anemia. Rates of comorbidities and complications by transfusion history and relative to the general population remain poorly quantified.
