ATP13A2 is involved in intracellular polyamine transport in lung epithelial cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Spermidine transport in lung epithelial cells involves the polyamine transporter ATP13A2. Cell proliferation is associated with the upregulation of ATP13A2. Polyamines are present in all living cells and are implicated in various crucial cellular processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy.

Raman‐based label‐free microscopic analysis of the pancreas in living zebrafish larvae
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Forward stimulated Raman scattering (F‐SRS) and epi coherent anti‐Stokes Raman scattering (E‐CARS) allow label‐free discrimination of distinct subcellular structures in the pancreas of living zebrafish larvae. Given the straightforward applicability, we anticipate broad implementation of Raman microscopy in other organs and across various biomedical ...

Dapagliflozin prevents methylglyoxal‐induced retinal cell death in ARPE‐19 cells
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Diabetic macular oedema is a diabetes complication of the eye, which may lead to permanent blindness. ARPE‐19 are human retinal cells used to study retinal diseases and potential therapeutics. Methylglyoxal is a compound increased in uncontrolled diabetes due to elevated blood glucose.
