Stronger inflammatory/cytotoxic T cell response in women identified by microarray analysis [PDF]
Women develop chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like lupus more often than men. The mechanisms causing the increased susceptibility are incompletely understood, although estrogen is believed to contribute.

Differential redox state contributes to sex disparities in the response to influenza virus infection in male and female mice [PDF]
Influenza virus replicates intracellularly exploiting several pathways involved in the regulation of host responses. The outcome and the severity of the infection are thus strongly conditioned by multiple host factors, including age, sex, metabolic ...

Andrographolide Modulates Fibrogenic and Oxidative Stress Responses in Human Lung Fibroblasts
ABSTRACT Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been reported to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System
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 ...

Multi-Omics Analyses Detail Metabolic Reprogramming in Lipids, Carnitines, and Use of Glycolytic Intermediates between Prostate Small Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma and Prostate Adenocarcinoma. [PDF]
As the most common cancer in men, prostate cancer is molecularly heterogeneous. Contributing to this heterogeneity are the poorly understood metabolic adaptations of the two main types of prostate cancer, i.e., adenocarcinoma and small cell ...

Glutathione is a critical cellular reductant and its homeostasis is required for maintenance of intracellular redox balance. glutamate‐cysteine ligase (GCL) catalyses the ATP‐dependent peptide bond formation between gamma‐carboxylate of glutamate and cysteine, the first step of glutathione biosynthesis.
