THE STIGMATA OF DEGENERATION [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Psychiatry, 1898
In pathology, degeneration means the substitution of a tissue by some other regarded as less highly organized, less complex in structure, of inferior physiological rank, or less suited for the performance of the original function. The same definition may apply equally well in human ontogeny, where we can regard a normal man as possessing a certain ...

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Degenerate mitochondria [PDF]

open access: yesThe EMBO Reports, 2005
Mitochondria are the main sites of biological energy generation in eukaryotes. These organelles are remnants of a bacterial endosymbiont that took up residence inside a host cell over 1,500 million years ago. Comparative genomics studies suggest that the mitochondrion is monophyletic in origin.

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Structural basis for complement factor H-linked age-related macular degeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Nearly 50 million people worldwide suffer from age-related macular degeneration (AMD), which causes severe loss of central vision. A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the gene for the complement regulator factor H (FH), which causes a Tyr-to-His ...

Chitosan modified with PAP as a promising delivery system for melatonin in the treatment of osteoporosis: targeting the divalent metal transporter 1

open access: yesJournal of Biological Engineering
The demands for novel and efficient therapies have gradually increased with the rising concerns of osteoporosis (OP). The most popular method in promoting bone regeneration during osteoporotic conditions consists of loading bioactive materials with ...

IFN-γ selectively suppresses a subset of TLR4-activated genes and enhancers to potentiate macrophage activation

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Macrophage activation is synergistically controlled by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). Here the authors show that IFN-γ promotes macrophage activation not only by activating STAT1-dependent genes, but also by suppressing STAT3 ...
