Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment
Ibrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 59-73, Spring 2025.The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Haematologica, 2016 The tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) negatively regulates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-AKT signaling and is often inactivated by mutations (including deletions) in a variety of cancer types, including T-cell acute ...

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Suppurative nevus comedonicus (SNC) is a variant of nevus comedonicus in which the characteristic features coexist with recurrent inflammatory lesions that clinically resemble those of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). We present the ultrasound characteristics of this entity and emphasize the value of high‐resolution dermatologic ultrasound both as a ...

Alpha beta-and gamma-secretases in alzheimer s disease
Frontiers in Bioscience, 2012 Generation of Amyloid peptide (Abeta) is at the beginning of a cascade that leads to Alzheimer's disease. Currenty, the mechanisms of Abeta generation and Abeta prevention are subject of intensive research. Amyloid precursor protein (APP), as well as beta- and gamma-secretases are the principal players involved in Abeta production, while alpha ...

The translation initiation factor 3f (eIF3f) exhibits a deubiquitinase activity regulating Notch activation. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2010 Activation of the mammalian Notch receptor after ligand binding relies on a succession of events including metalloprotease-cleavage, endocytosis, monoubiquitination, and eventually processing by the gamma-secretase, giving rise to a soluble ...

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder affecting intertriginous areas. Long‐standing HS can undergo malignant transformation into squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), particularly in the perineal and gluteal regions. We report a 54‐year‐old man with severe, treatment‐refractory HS complicated by an aggressive verrucous

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

In Silico Structure‐Guided Design of Peptide Candidates Targeting γ‐Secretase Subunit Assembly
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The γ‐secretase complex is a membrane‐embedded protease essential for intramembrane cleavage of substrates such as Notch receptors and the amyloid precursor protein (APP), processes central to cancer progression and Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology.

The Neuroprotective Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate (Punica granatum)
Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.The Effect of a Waste Byproduct Obtained From Pomegranate on Neurodegeneration. ABSTRACT Pomegranate is an exceptional fruit that can have several beneficial effects on human health. The peel of pomegranate, a waste product, should be recovered as it still contains valuable constituents, including phenolic compounds, minerals and fibre. The recovery of

Gamma-secretase-dependent signaling of receptor tyrosine kinases [PDF]
Oncogene, 2018 Human genome harbors 55 receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). At least half of the RTKs have been reported to be cleaved by gamma-secretase-mediated regulated intramembrane proteolysis. The two-step process involves releasing the RTK ectodomain to the extracellular space by proteolytic cleavage called shedding, followed by cleavage in the RTK transmembrane ...
