Dynamin 2 in Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease [PDF]

, 2012
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is an inherited neuronal disorder, and is induced by mutations of various genes associated with intracellular membrane traffic and cytoskeleton.

Overcoming intranasal delivery barriers with ultrastable polyzwitterionic siRNA nanocages for enhanced glioblastoma therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A ROS‐responsive, zwitterionic nanocage enables stable, intranasal siRNA delivery to glioblastoma, promoting deep tumor penetration via non‐degradative pathways and trigeminal nerve transport. This platform achieves durable gene silencing and tumor suppression, offering a non‐invasive, storage‐stable strategy for treating glioma and other neurological ...

Endogenous CCL2 neutralization restricts HIV-1 replication in primary human macrophages by inhibiting viral DNA accumulation [PDF]

, 2015
Macrophages are key targets of HIV-1 infection. We have previously described that the expressionof CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2) increases during monocyte differentiation to macrophages and it is furtherup-modulated by HIV-1 exposure.

Tetraspanin‐ESCRT sorting drives miR‐29b packaging into extracellular vesicles to reverse fibrosis in intrauterine adhesions

BMEMat, EarlyView.
MiR‐29b is enriched in extracellular vesicles (EVs) via a tetraspanin transporter‐dependent endocytosis and sorting complex required for the endosomal transport (ESCRT)‐dependent pathway. These EVs target the 3′ untranslated region (3′UTR) of TGFB2, thereby inhibiting the TGF‐β/Smad3 signaling pathway and repairing endometrial damage in intrauterine ...

Ciliate Biology: Dynamin Goes Nuclear [PDF]

Current Biology, 2008
Dynamin and dynamin-related proteins (DRPs) mediate an array of membrane fission processes. A Tetrahymena DRP has adopted a new role, assisting in nuclear differentiation, a finding that further highlights these proteins - and this ciliate - as biological innovators.

Mutation of key lysine residues in the Insert B region of the yeast dynamin Vps1 disrupts lipid binding and causes defects in endocytosis.

PLoS ONE, 2019
The yeast dynamin-like protein Vps1 has roles at multiple stages of membrane trafficking including Golgi to vacuole transport, endosomal recycling, endocytosis and in peroxisomal fission.

Mitochondria and the Actin Cytoskeleton in Neurodegeneration

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mitochondrial dysfunction and cytoskeletal disorganization are widely recognized hallmarks of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Reduced Oligodendrocyte Density and Axonal Caliber Associated With Mitochondrial Alterations in the White Matter of Chronically‐Starved Mice

International Journal of Eating Disorders, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe eating disorder associated with extreme weight loss, hyperactivity, and amenorrhea. Neuroimaging studies revealed brain atrophy and disruption of white matter integrity in the corpus callosum (CC) of patients with AN. However, the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms remain unclear.

The Metabolic Role of Mitochondria in the Perinatal Cardiac Development and Cardiovascular Diseases

Exploration, EarlyView.
This review explores the critical role of mitochondria in heart development and cardiovascular disease. It highlights how mitochondrial maturation during embryonic‐to‐postnatal transition, regulated by oxygen and metabolic changes, shapes cardiac structure and function.

Interkingdom Interactions in the Gut: Ecological Mechanisms, Homeostasis, and Therapeutic Modulation

Gut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut microbiota constitutes a highly complex and dynamic ecosystem that profoundly influences host physiology, metabolism, and immunity. This review provides an integrative overview of the mechanisms through which gut microorganisms—particularly bacteria and fungi—interact with host cells and with each other to maintain intestinal ...
