Role for the liver X receptor agonist 22‐ketositosterol in preventing disease progression in an Alzheimer's disease mouse model

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Liver X receptors (LXRs) are promising therapeutic targets for alleviating Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. We assessed the impact of the semi‐synthetic LXR agonist 22‐ketositosterol on disease progression in an AD mouse model.

Hydrothermally Synthesized Cerium Phosphate with Functionalized Carbon Nanofiber Nanocomposite for Enhanced Electrochemical Detection of Hypoxanthine

Chemosensors
This work presents the detection of hypoxanthine (HXA), a purine derivative that is similar to nucleic acids who overconsumption can cause health issues, by using hydrothermally synthesized cerium phosphate (CePO4) followed by a sonochemical approach for

Rapid, Diagnostic Test for Cardiac Ischemia [PDF]

, 2017
Current methods to detect cardiac ischemia rely on biomarkers such as troponin. Elevated levels of troponin are observed hours after the cardiac event.

Unlocking the power of immune checkpoint inhibitors: Targeting YAP1 reduces anti‐PD1 resistance in skin cutaneous melanoma

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti­PD1, revolutionized melanoma treatment. However, resistance and low response rates remain problems. Our goal was to pinpoint actionable biomarkers of resistance to anti‐PD1 treatment and verify therapeutic effectiveness in vivo.

Klebsiella pneumoniae contributes to altered cytotoxicity of thiopurines in vitro: Possible implications of biotransformation and bacterial metabolism

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and purpose Thiopurines are used in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but some patients do not respond. Because the gut microbiota influences drug efficacy and IBD‐patient microbiota presents increased bacterial abundance, we investigated the impact of candidate Enterobacteriaceae on drug cytotoxicity, metabolism and ...

Cardioprotective effects of the extracellular chaperone clusterin in acute myocardial infarction

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, EarlyView.
In vivo, CLU−/− mice were more susceptible to acute myocardial infarction than CLU+/+ mice. Moreover, inflammation and histone levels were significantly increased in CLU−/− mice compared to CLU+/+ mice following ischemia/reperfusion. In vitro, CLU protects cardiomyocytes from histone‐ and/or hypoxia‐induced cell death.

Disentangling strictly self-serving mutations from win-win mutations in a mutualistic microbial community

eLife, 2019
Mutualisms can be promoted by pleiotropic win-win mutations which directly benefit self (self-serving) and partner (partner-serving). Intuitively, partner-serving phenotype could be quantified as an individual’s benefit supply rate to partners.

Metabolism of hypoxanthine in wheat shoots

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015
The incorporation of [¹⁴C] glycine and [8-^l4C] hypoxanthine to some purine derivatives in overground parts of wheat seedlings was studied. It was found that adenylic acid could be synthesized from glycine and also from free hypoxanthine and in both processes inosinic acid is an intermediate metabolite.

The microbiota–gut–brain axis in Huntington's disease: pathogenic mechanisms and therapeutic targets

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 6, Page 1282-1315, March 2025.
Disturbances of the microbiota–gut–brain axis are evident in people with Huntington's disease (HD) and in HD animal models. Here, we provide an overview of how the trillions of microorganisms residing in the gut, their secretory products, and the microbiota–gut–brain axis may contribute to HD pathogenesis.

Harnessing nucleotide metabolism and immunity in cancer: a tumour microenvironment perspective

The FEBS Journal, Volume 292, Issue 9, Page 2155-2172, May 2025.
This review explores how changes in nucleotide metabolism affect the tumour microenvironment and immune responses in cancer. Here, we discuss the dual role of nucleotide metabolism in promoting cancer cell growth and shaping immune suppression. We highlight how therapies targeting nucleotide pathways can enhance immunotherapy efficacy, offering new ...
