Mild/moderate phenotypes in AADC deficiency: Focus on the aromatic amino acid decarboxylase protein. [PDF]
Abstract AADC deficiency is a severe neurometabolic inherited rare disorder due to the absence or decrease of dopamine and serotonin levels, causing deep motor and neurodevelopmental impairments. The disease is often fatal in the first decade of life, and pharmacological treatments (dopamine agonists, pyridoxine, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors as the

Guidelines for mouse and human DC functional assays
Conventional DC (cDC) represent a heterogenous family of professional antigen‐presenting cells. Basic functions common to all tissue‐resident cDC include antigen uptake, lymph node migration, and naive T cell priming to induce appropriate effector and regulatory T cell responses.

Methylphosphonate Is Utilized by Commensal Microbiota of Macroalgae in the Oligotrophic Sargasso Sea
Abstract The essential nutrient phosphorus is biologically scarce in the Sargasso Sea, yet the pelagic macroalgae Sargassum, for which this area of the North Atlantic Ocean is named, thrives. We tested the hypothesis that Sargassum holobionts utilize methylphosphonate (MPn) as an alternative source of phosphorus, finding lysis liberated phosphonate ...

Monitoring regional astrocyte diversity by cell type‐specific proteomic labeling in vivo
Main Points In vivo metabolic labeling enables astrocyte‐specific proteome analysis in four brain regions by LC–MS/MS. Biological processes or key astrocytic proteins show subtle variances between brain regions and region‐specific disease associations. Abstract Astrocytes exhibit regional heterogeneity in morphology, function and molecular composition ...
