Ex vivo perfusion model of mouse liver and its application to analyze the effects of OCT1 deficiency
IntroductionThe liver plays a critical role in drug pharmacokinetics. In in vivo experiments, it is difficult to isolate the liver’s contribution to drug systemic concentrations from that of the intestine and kidneys.

Aquaporin‐3 and aquaporin‐5 impact the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma spheroids
Schematic representation of the role of aquaporin‐3 (AQP3) and aquaporin‐5 (AQP5) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Both proteins are upregulated in PDAC and are associated with tumor progression and metastatic potential. Silencing AQP3 or AQP5 in PDAC spheroids results in decreased diameter, area, and overall growth, underscoring their key ...

Causes and Consequences of Variability in Drug Transporter Activity in Pediatric Drug Therapy.
Drug transporters play a key role in mediating the uptake of endo-and exogenous substances into cells as well as their efflux. Therefore, variability in drug transporter activity can influence pharmaco- and toxicokinetics and be a determinant of drug ...

Clinical Studies on Drug-Drug Interactions Involving Metabolism and Transport : Methodology, Pitfalls, and Interpretation [PDF]
Many drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are based on alterations of the plasma concentrations of a victim drug due to another drug causing inhibition and/or induction of the metabolism or transporter-mediated disposition of the victim drug. In the worst case,

OATP1A2 mediates Aβ1-42 transport and may be a novel target for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease with an unknown cause. Many studies have suggested that the imbalance between the clearance and accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ) in the brain of AD patients is the main cause of AD development

Evaluating the involvement of autolysosomes in the nuclear translocation of fluorescent proteins
Endogenously expressed fluorescent proteins can be degraded by autophagy and transported to cell nuclei via the nuclear pore complex. But in some cell lines, for example, HeLa cells which are positive for immunoreactivity of a receptor ligand, such as UCN I, in cell nuclei, fusion of autolysosome with the nuclear envelope is involved in the nuclear ...

The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.
