The role of glutamate in dementia

open access: yes, 1998
Glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter, but may also act as an endogenous neurotoxin. There is good evidence for an involvement of the glutamatergic system in the pathophysiology of dementia. The glutamatergic transmission machinery is quite complex and provides a gallery of possible drug targets.

Cytokine Engineering Approaches for Regenerative Medicine

open access: yesAdvanced Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Engineered cytokines represent a powerful strategy to promote tissue repair and regeneration by precisely modulating immune responses. This review highlights recent advances in cytokine engineering, including strategies to enhance half‐life, improve tissue and cell targeting, and control receptor signaling.

Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Activation in Cerebelar Purkinje Cells as Substrate for Adaptive Timing of the Classicaly Conditioned Eye Blink Response [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
To understand how the cerebellum adaptively times the classically conditioned nictitating membrane response (NMR), a model of the metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR) second messenger system in cerebellar Purkinje cells is constructed.

Physics of Selective Targeting of Cancer Cells by Magnetoelectric Nanoparticles: Exploring the Role of Conductivity and Capacitance in Tumor‐Specific Attraction

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Magnetoelectric nanoparticles exploit cancer cells' electrical vulnerabilities—altered membrane charge and higher capacitance—to achieve tumor‐specific targeting without bioreagents. MATLAB simulations reveal how electromagnetic forces create targeting specificity, while external magnetic fields enhance precision. This may enable wirelessly controlled,

LRRC8A Regulates Outer Hair Cell Volume and Electromotility and is Required for Hearing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies LRRC8A‐dependent volume‐regulated anion channels (VRACs) as essential for cochlear outer hair cells' electromotility and auditory signal amplification. LRRC8A deficiency disrupts cell volume control, impairs auditory sensitivity, and causes deafness, while targeted LRRC8A re‐expression restores auditory function.

Cathepsin K Aggravates Pulmonary Fibrosis Through Promoting Fibroblast Glutamine Metabolism and Collagen Synthesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
CTSK plays a critical role in pulmonary fibrosis. Excessive CTSK accumulation interacts with SNX9 to enhance TGF‐β1‐induced SMAD3 activation and GLS1 expression in fibroblasts, driving glutamine metabolism for collagen biosynthesis and exacerbating pulmonary fibrosis.

An Allele of Glutamate Formiminotransferase Triggers 5‐Methyl‐Tetrahydrofolate‐to‐MeFox Conversion and Facilitates Folate Biofortification in Maize

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the distinct roles of the glutamate formiminotransferase (GFT) enzyme in plants. The GFT triggers the conversion of 5‐methyl‐tetrahydrofolate to MeFox in plants, a process distinct from its role as a formiminotransferase in mammals.
