Endosome-lysosomes and neurodegeneration

open access: yesBiomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 1994
A number of the major human and animal neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and sheep scrapie, are characterised by deposits of amyloid, arising through incomplete breakdown of membrane proteins. Although our knowledge concerning these diseases is increasing, they remain largely untreatable.

Autophagosome maturation in primary rat hepatocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Nutrient deprivation of eukaryotic cells elicits a rapid survival response, including the induction of autophagy. Autophagy, or "self-eating", involves the formation of autophagosomes from an unknown membrane source and the sequestration of cytosolic ...

Identification and characterisation of calcitonin receptor isoforms expressed in glioblastoma derived glioma stem and U‐87 MG cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Glioblastoma cells express calcitonin receptor variants (CT receptor isoforms) that may help them survive stress. Using qPCR, transcript‐specific long‐read nanopore sequencing, immunofluorescence co‐localisation and comparative sequence analysis, this study identifies a novel alternatively spliced CALCR transcript that encodes the CTb receptor isoform ...

New aspects of a small GTPase RAB35 in brain development and function

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
In eukaryotic cells, organelles in the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways actively exchange biological materials with each other through intracellular membrane trafficking, which is the process of transporting the cargo of proteins, lipids, and

Retromer-Mediated Trafficking of Transmembrane Receptors and Transporters

open access: yesMembranes, 2015
Transport between the endoplasmatic reticulum, the Golgi-network, the endo-lysosomal system and the cell surface can be categorized as anterograde or retrograde, describing traffic that goes forward or backward, respectively.

Presynaptic Endosomes

open access: yes, 2009
Presynaptic endosomes are intracellular organelles involved in the recycling and degradation of receptors and membrane proteins. They also play a role in maintaining the pool of synaptic vesicles and in the recycling of dense-core vesicle membranes ...

Sertraline Treatment Can Mimic Niemann‐Pick Type C Biomarker Profile: A Diagnostic Pitfall

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oxysterols (cholestane‐3β,5α,6β‐triol and 7‐ketocholesterol) and N‐palmitoyl‐O‐phosphocholineserine (PPCS) are sensitive biomarkers for Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) screening. However, false‐positive results occur, with a biomarker profile suggestive of NPC despite the absence of pathogenic variants in genes involved in NPC or ...

Hepatocyte Autophagy in Malaria: Current Concepts, Emerging Mechanisms, and Future Therapeutic Directions

open access: yesPathogens
The liver stage of Plasmodium infection represents a critical bottleneck in malaria pathogenesis and a unique interface between parasite development and hepatocyte-intrinsic immunity. Recent evidence suggests that hepatocytes do not eliminate liver-stage

Phagophores evolve from recycling endosomes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The membrane origins of autophagosomes have been a key unresolved question in the field. The earliest morphologically recognizable structure in the macroautophagy/autophagy itinerary is the double-membraned cup-shaped phagophore.

Fusogenic RNA Nanomodules for Fusion‐Mediated and Multiplexed siRNA Delivery

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A fusogenic lipid‐layered RNA nanomodules (L‐CRAMs) enable high‐capacity and long‐lasting siRNA delivery through membrane fusion. These nanomodules carry exceptionally large siRNA payloads, avoid conventional endosomal uptake, and release multiple functional siRNAs through Dicer‐mediated processing.
