Immunoglobulin Kappa Light Chain Produced by Cardiomyocytes and Participates in Maintaining Intercalated Disc Integrity

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study identifies Igκ expression in cardiomyocytes, with predominant localization at ICDs. Cardiomyocyte‐specific Igκ knockout induces cardiac dysfunction and ICDs structural disorganization. Mechanistically, Igκ stabilizes plectin to facilitate desmin‒actin network assembly and anchor desmin to DSP, which is critical for maintaining ICDs ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Age‐Related Taste Dysfunction Deciphered by Spatiotemporal Transcriptomics

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2026.
Multi‐omics profiling reveals that aging impairs stem/progenitor cell differentiation and taste bud regeneration in the posterior tongue. Age‐related macrophage polarization remodeling, marked by the accumulation of pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophages, contributes to a Thbs1‐enriched inhibitory niche that limits taste cell growth and differentiation ...

Proteomic profile of CSF obtained at the time of diagnosis determines amyotrophic lateral sclerosis progression and survival: CXCL7 levels in disease prognosis and survival

open access: yesBrain Pathology, Volume 36, Issue 5, September 2026.
Untargeted multiomic profiling of cerebrospinal fluid reveals that proteomic, but not lipidomic, signatures robustly distinguish ALS patients from controls and stratify individuals by survival, highlighting marked molecular differences between short survival and long survival disease.

Keratins Regulate p38MAPK-Dependent Desmoglein Binding Properties in Pemphigus

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Keratins are crucial for the anchorage of desmosomes. Severe alterations of keratin organization and detachment of filaments from the desmosomal plaque occur in the autoimmune dermatoses pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus (PF), which are mainly ...

Effects of Algae β‐Glucan Supplementation on the Performance and Intestinal Immune System of Healthy Weaned Piglets

open access: yesJournal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, Volume 110, Issue 5, Page 642-654, September 2026.
ABSTRACT While β‐glucans from plants and yeasts have been extensively studied in weaned piglets, studies examining algae β‐glucans are scarce. Thus, the present study aimed to examine the effects of feeding algae β‐glucan in weaned piglets. Male, 21‐day‐old, weaned crossbred piglets were allotted to three experimental groups, which were fed either an ...

USING THE FROG EPIDERMIS TO UNCOVER DESMOSOME FUNCTION AND REGULATION IN THE DEVELOPING EMBRYO [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The desmosome is one of the major cell adhesion junctions found in the epithelia, heart, and hair follicle. Described as a “rivet” that hold cells together, it provides these tissues with the integrity to withstand the tremendous forces they face in ...

Protein Phosphatase 2A: More Than a Passenger in the Regulation of Epithelial Cell–Cell Junctions

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2019
Cell–cell adhesion plays a key role in the maintenance of the epithelial barrier and apicobasal cell polarity, which is crucial for homeostasis. Disruption of cell–cell adhesion is a hallmark of numerous pathological conditions, including invasive ...

Assessment of Phenotype, Oxidative Stress and Biomacromolecule Oxidation in Human Chronic Skin Wound Epidermis in Active Debridement Tissue Versus Endstage Wounds

open access: yesWound Repair and Regeneration, Volume 34, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Impairment of cutaneous healing occurs in association with numerous comorbidities including diabetes, vascular insufficiency and immobility. Standard management of chronic wounds includes removal of necrotic tissue and infection management, but no biomarkers are used to guide appropriate debridement distance.

Differential Effects of Desmoglein 1 and Desmoglein 3 on Desmosome Formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The desmoglein plays an important part in the formation of desmosomes. We constructed recombinant adenoviruses containing desmoglein 1 and desmoglein 3 derivatives partly lacking the extracellular domain (desmoglein 1ΔEC and desmoglein 3ΔEC, respectively)
