Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Tumor interstitial fluid formation, characterization and clinical implications

Frontiers in Oncology, 2015
The interstitium, situated between the blood and lymph vessels and the cells, consists of a solid or matrix phase and a fluid phase, together constituting the tissue microenvironment.

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Cysteine Cathepsins and Their Extracellular Roles: Shaping the Microenvironment

Cells, 2019
For a long time, cysteine cathepsins were considered primarily as proteases crucial for nonspecific bulk proteolysis in the endolysosomal system. However, this view has dramatically changed, and cathepsins are now considered key players in many important

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Effective Extracellular Volume Fraction Determined by Equilibrium Contrast-Enhanced CT for Differentiating Autoimmune Pancreatitis from Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether extracellular volume (ECV) fraction as determined by contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) can help distinguish between autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) and pancreatic ductal ...

Determination of Extracellular Space in Amphibian Muscle [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 1967
The volumes of distribution of inulin and dextran in the sartorius, stomach, and cardiac muscle of the frog agree rather closely. That these spaces represent the volume of extracellular water is supported by the observation that efflux of sucrose can be divided into a fast and a slow phase and that the fast-moving fraction corresponds closely with ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Reducing Extracellular Ca2+ Induces Adenosine Release via Equilibrative Nucleoside Transporters to Provide Negative Feedback Control of Activity in the Hippocampus

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2017
Neural circuit activity increases the release of the purine neuromodulator adenosine into the extracellular space leading to A1 receptor activation and negative feedback via membrane hyperpolarization and inhibition of transmitter release.

Epigenetic blind spots – the role of DNA methylation dynamics in stem cell‐based models of embryogenesis

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Embryo‐like structures (stembryos) are an innovative tool, but they are hindered by experimental variability and limited developmental potential. DNA methylation is crucial for mammalian development, but its status in stembryo models is poorly characterized.
