Heterotropic regulation and negative homotropic cooperativity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We identified a structural module common to some proteins that couple negative cooperativity with heterotropic regulation, two features that rarely coexist. These proteins are ring‐like and present an ordered asymmetry whereby noncontacting subunits are symmetric, and their tertiary structure differs from that of contacting subunits.

Microscopy Research and Technique, 2004 AbstractGlycogen autophagy, which includes the sequestration and degradation of cell glycogen in the autophagic vacuoles, is a selective process under conditions of demand for the massive hepatic production of glucose, as in the postnatal period. It represents a link between autophagy and glycogen metabolism. The formation of autophagic vacuoles in the

Threonine 348 regulates the subcellular localization of PTEN
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Thr348 in the C2 domain is a key contributor to PTEN subcellular localization. The PTEN350 fragment and PTENA4 accumulated in the nucleus, whereas PTENK13R,A4 predominantly localized to the plasma membrane. In contrast, substitution of Thr348 with Asp (T348D) disrupted these characteristic localization patterns, resulting in predominant cytoplasmic ...

Glycogen Metabolism and Its Role in Growth and Encystation in Entamoeba histolytica
Life, 2023 Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan that causes diarrheal disease in approximately 100 million people worldwide every year. E. histolytica has two forms, the growing trophozoite and the infectious cyst.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work establishes a novel method for generating multicellular liver organoids from control and MASH donor iPSCs. The model recapitulates several disease‐specific characteristics, with MASH donor‐derived organoids showing higher susceptibility. Lipidomic profiling of MASH organoids closely resembles MASH liver biopsies.

The Vaginal Microenvironment: The Physiologic Role of Lactobacilli
Frontiers in Medicine, 2018 In addition to being a passage for sperm, menstruum, and the baby, the human vagina and its microbiota can influence conception, pregnancy, the mode and timing of delivery, and the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections.

ACG Case Reports Journal, 2019 ABSTRACT Glycogenic hepatopathy is excessive intrahepatic glycogen accumulation. It is a rare complication of long-standing, poorly controlled type 1 diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a 19-year-old woman with a history of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and frequent admissions for diabetic ketoacidosis, who presented with abdominal ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals that NF‐κB1‐driven TRAIP upregulation in ALD correlates with disease severity. Mechanistically, TRAIP directly binds β‐catenin via its CC domain and promotes its K48‐linked ubiquitination and degradation, which is independent of the GSK3β/β‐TrCP pathway.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An optimized ex vivo human liver slice culture system preserves tissue architecture, hepatocyte function, and immune‐stromal complexity for at least five days. By refining slice thickness, oxygenation, air‐liquid interface, and extracellular matrix support, the platform enables human‐relevant hepatotoxicity testing and mechanistic studies, offering a ...
