Melatonin-enhanced hyperactivation of hamster sperm [PDF]
Reproduction, 2008 Abstract The effects of melatonin on reproductive function were examined using hamster spermatozoa. When 1 pM to 1 μM melatonin was added to the mTALP medium, hyperactivation was significantly enhanced. Antagonists and agonists of the melatonin receptor (i.e., MT1 and MT2) were added to the medium.

Hippocampal hyperactivation in presymptomatic familial Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Annals of Neurology, 2010 AbstractObjectiveThe examination of individuals who carry fully penetrant genetic alterations that result in familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD) provides a unique model for studying the early presymptomatic disease stages. In AD, deficits in episodic and associative memory have been linked to structural and functional changes within the hippocampal ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Progesterone significantly enhances the mobility of boar spermatozoa [PDF]
BioDiscovery, 2013 Progesterone released from the cumulus cells of the oocyte causes a number of physiological responses in human sperm cells including hyperactivation, acrosome reaction and chemotaxis. We employed a validated sperm mobility assay, which involves measuring

Molecular mechanism of hyperactivation conferred by a truncation of TRPA1
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractA drastic TRPA1 mutant (R919*) identified in CRAMPT syndrome patients has not been mechanistically characterized. Here, we show that the R919* mutant confers hyperactivity when co-expressed with wild type (WT) TRPA1. Using functional and biochemical assays, we reveal that the R919* mutant co-assembles with WT TRPA1 subunits into heteromeric ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Defective HIV proviruses: possible involvement in the HIV infection pathogenesis
Вопросы вирусологииThis review article analyzes information obtained from a literature search on defective HIV genomes (HIV-1, Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Lentivirus, Orthoretrovirinae, Retroviridae). It discusses the origins of defective HIV genomes, their potential for

Cell Reports, 2020 Summary: Central to anti-tumor immunity are dendritic cells (DCs), which stimulate long-lived protective T cell responses. Recent studies have demonstrated that DCs can achieve a state of hyperactivation, which is associated with inflammasome activities ...

Translating whole‐genome doubling into precision medicine in cancer
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Whole‐genome doubling creates a WGD‐positive tumor state characterized by persistent chromosomal instability, karyotypic diversification, and cellular stress. These same biological pressures drive aggressive tumor evolution while exposing therapeutic vulnerabilities, providing a rationale for WGD‐informed precision medicine. Whole‐genome doubling (WGD)

Effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine on spermatozoal hyperactivation and in vitro fertilization in mice
The Journal of Reproduction and Development, 2019 In this study, we examined the effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) on the motility and hyperactivation of mouse spermatozoa. In addition, we examined whether 5-HT increases the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in mice.
