Unmasking GluN1/GluN3A excitatory glycine NMDA receptors

Nature Communications, 2018
GluN3A and GluN3B are glycine-binding subunits belonging to the NMDA receptor (NMDAR) family that can assemble with the GluN1 subunit to form unconventional receptors activated by glycine alone.

C9orf72 repeat expansions cause neurodegeneration in Drosophila through arginine-rich proteins [PDF]

, 2014
An expanded GGGGCC repeat in C9orf72 is the most common genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A fundamental question is whether toxicity is driven by the repeat RNA itself and/or by dipeptide repeat proteins ...

Gd‐Induced Oxygen Vacancy Creation Activates Lattice Oxygen Oxidation for Water Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
DFT calculations shows that Gd incorporation into Fe‐doped NiO raises the O 2p band center, lowers oxygen vacancy formation energy, and thus promotes the LOM mechanism for OER. Gd and Fe co‐doped NiO nanosheets synthesized via spray combustion exhibits a low overpotential of 227 mV and maintains stable AEMWE performance for over 120 h, demonstrating ...

High glycine concentration increases collagen synthesis by articular chondrocytes in vitro: acute glycine deficiency could be an important cause of osteoarthritis

Amino Acids, 2018
Collagen synthesis is severely diminished in osteoarthritis; thus, enhancing it may help the regeneration of cartilage. This requires large amounts of glycine, proline and lysine.

Bacteria‐Derived Extracellular Vesicle as A “Trojan Horse” for Selective M1 Macrophage‐Targeting in A Multi‐Cellular Entanglement Environment

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The temporary transition of macrophages from a pro‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M1) to an anti‐inflammatory phenotype of macrophages (M2) is crucial for tissue repair and regeneration processes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are utilized as a “trojan horse” for specific M1 macrophage‐targeting and anti‐inflammatory drug delivery ...
