Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Diphthamide synthesis is linked to the eEF2‐client chaperone machinery
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The diphthamide modification of eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2) is important for accurate protein synthesis. We addressed the potential coordination of de novo eEF2 synthesis with simultaneous or subsequent diphthamide modification. Our work reveals that the co‐chaperones Hgh1 and Cpr7, which are known to support folding of nascent ...

Automatic Assessment of Functional Movement Screening Exercises with Deep Learning Architectures [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 (1) Background: The success of physiotherapy depends on the regular and correct performance of movement exercises. A system that automatically evaluates these could support the therapy. Previous approaches in this area rarely rely on Deep Learning methods and do not yet fully use their potential. (2) Methods: Using a measurement system consisting of 17

Cardiovascular abnormalities and impaired exercise performance in adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia [PDF]
, 2015 Context: Patients with classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH) are treated with lifelong glucocorticoids (GCS). Cardiovascular (CV) and metabolic effects of such therapy in adolescents have never been quantified.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

Designing Personalized Interaction of a Socially Assistive Robot for Stroke Rehabilitation Therapy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The research of a socially assistive robot has a potential to augment and assist physical therapy sessions for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal problems (e.g. stroke). During a physical therapy session, generating personalized feedback is critical to improve patient's engagement.

Supervised exercise training as an adjunct therapy for venous leg ulcers: a randomised controlled feasibility trial [PDF]
, 2018 Background Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are typically painful and heal slowly. Compression therapy offers high healing rates; however, improvements are not usually sustained.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

A database of physical therapy exercises with variability of execution collected by wearable sensors [PDF]
Scientific Data (2022) 9:266This document introduces the PHYTMO database, which contains data from physical therapies recorded with inertial sensors, including information from an optical reference system. PHYTMO includes the recording of 30 volunteers, aged between 20 and 70 years old. A total amount of 6 exercises and 3 gait variations were recorded.
