Microtubule Inner Protein CFAP77 Contributes to Sperm Motility and Male Fertility in Mice

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sperm motility is essential for male fertility, and its regulation is dependent on the structural integrity of the axoneme. The axoneme consists of a conserved “9+2” microtubule arrangement and is supported by microtubule inner proteins. However, the functional significance of many microtubule inner proteins remains unclear.

Nigrostriatal dynein changes in A53T alpha-synuclein transgenic mice [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2wb]

F1000Research, 2014
The accumulation of misfolded a-synuclein is mechanistically linked to neurodegeneration in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other alpha-synucleinopathies. However, how alpha-synuclein causes neurodegeneration is unresolved.

Optic nerve sheath meningioma exhibits neural niche‐associated transcriptomic features and rare copy number variation‐linked evolution

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Optic nerve sheath meningiomas are typically NF2‐intact with few copy number alterations and are generally clinically indolent. Rare aggressive recurrences are associated with progressive accumulation of copy number variations, including CDKN2A/B homozygous deletion, 1q gain, and 14q loss.

Opening closed inward rectifier potassium channel doors

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Inwardly rectifying potassium (KIR) channels are essential regulators of membrane potential in excitable and non‐excitable tissues. Although KIR channels exhibit a biophysical preference for potassium influx due to voltage‐dependent block of outward current by polyamines and Mg2+, under physiological conditions, they predominantly mediate K+ efflux ...

Mitochondrial Transfer in the Tumor Microenvironment

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Mitochondria are actively exchanged among tumor, immune, stromal, and neuronal cells within the tumor microenvironment. Such transfer rewires tumor metabolism, promotes immune evasion, and drives therapy resistance. Targeting mitochondrial transfer or harnessing mitochondrial transplantation represents a promising strategy to restore antitumor immunity

Prevalence and Nationality Distribution of Known and Novel Genetic Variants in Children With Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia in the State of Qatar

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
CT scan image of a 17‐year‐old female with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) showing dextrocardia and bilateral bronchiectasis. The study describes genetic mutations affecting patients with PCD in Qatar and the corresponding clinical phenotype of affected patients.

Reconstruction of native cellular microanatomy in a novel bioengineered full thickness human nasal mucosal construct

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bioengineered tissue constructs are vital technologies employed in in vitro testing of both fundamental biological principles and industrial screening practices. Current approaches to modelling the nasal mucosa in vitro are not representative and are associated with limitations that impact their reliability and predictive value.

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Mitochondrial control of ciliary gene expression and structure in striatal neurons

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Neurons drive animal behaviour by receiving and transmitting information and require energy, primarily supplied by mitochondria, to function. Additionally, neurons need to sense environmental changes to adapt, a function that is locally played by the primary cilia.

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.
