Targeting Supramolecular Active Complexes of Nav1.7/Nav1.8 to Relieve Chronic Neuropathic Pain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In mice and patients with severe chronic neuropathic pain (NP), Nav1.7, Nav1.8, TrkB, and five cytoskeletal proteins form supramolecular active complexes (SMACs) with polygonal lattice structures as noxious signal amplifiers in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons.

Arrhythmogenic Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
After a 20-year-old woman suddenly died, autopsy showed characteristic findings of biventricular arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Screening of her family members revealed the same desmoplakin gene mutation and imaging abnormalities predominantly involving ...

Highly Biomimetic Ectodermal Epithelial Organoids for Epithelial Barrier Stimulation Assays

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evaluating the potential toxicity of pharmaceuticals and biomaterials to ectodermal epithelia, such as the oral mucosa and skin, is indispensable in pre‐clinical assessments. However, this remains a challenge primarily owing to the lack of physiologically relevant and accurate screening models.

Profound Re-Organization of Cell Surface Proteome in Equine Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cells in Response to In Vitro Culturing [PDF]

, 2012
The purpose of this study was to characterize the cell surface proteome of native compared to cultured equine retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. The RPE plays an essential role in visual function and represents the outer blood-retinal barrier.

Targeted Anti‐IL‐1 Immunomodulatory Therapy in Pediatric Onset PPP1R13L‐Related Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive loss‐of‐function variants in PPP1R13L cause an ultra‐rare cardiocutaneous syndrome characterized by rapidly progressive arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). PPP1R13L encodes iASPP, which has two potentially overlapping mechanisms driving ACM as both a regulator of NFκB‐mediated inflammation and a binding partner within the ...

Striatins as plaque molecules of zonulae adhaerentes in simple epithelia, of tessellate junctions in stratified epithelia, of cardiac composite junctions and of various size classes of lateral adherens junctions in cultures of epithelia- and carcinoma-derived cells [PDF]

, 2014
Proteins of the striatin family (striatins 1–4; sizes ranging from 90 to 110 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) are highly homologous in their amino acid sequences but can differ in their cell-type-specific gene expression patterns and ...

FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1485-1489, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

A case for genetic testing: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy presenting as myocarditis

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited cardiomyopathy associated with fibrofatty tissue replacement of the ventricular tissue. The disease can cause ventricular dysfunction and arrhythmias and can increase the risk of sudden cardiac death ...

Deciphering the full spectrum of Castleman diseases based on a cohort of 700 patients in a western country

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
The spectrum of Castleman diseases has expanded over the past three decades. The phenotype of the diseases varies not only among the three major types but also according to the patient ancestry. Summary Under the Castleman disease (CD) eponym, three distinct diseases sharing common pathological features have been described over time.
