Prostate-specific membrane antigen cleavage of vitamin B9 stimulates oncogenic signaling through metabotropic glutamate receptors

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2018
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) or folate hydrolase 1 (FOLH1) is highly expressed on prostate cancer. Its expression correlates inversely with survival and increases with tumor grade.

Astrocytes: Orchestrators of brain gas exchange and oxygen homeostasis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter the body via breathing; in the brain astrocytes play a key role balancing oxygen delivery with carbon dioxide removal. Abstract If we consider neurons like muscles during exercise, the demand for oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) elimination is constantly changing.

Therapeutic Potential of Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor Modulators

Current Neuropharmacology, 2012
Glutamate is the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (CNS) and is a major player in complex brain functions. Glutamatergic transmission is primarily mediated by ionotropic glutamate receptors, which include NMDA, AMPA and ...

Diverse Subpopulations of Reactive Astrocytes Following Chronic Toxoplasma Infection

Glia, Volume 73, Issue 10, Page 2003-2024, October 2025.
Main Points Toxoplasma infection results in distinct astrocyte subpopulations. Chronically labeled reactive astrocytes appear transcriptionally plastic and can regain acute inflammatory responding and naive homeostatic astrocytic gene patterns in the presence of ongoing neuroinflammation.

Beyond the tumor: Enhancing pancreatic cancer therapy through glutamine metabolism and innovative drug delivery

Journal of Cell Communication and Signaling, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2025.
The top row shows key drivers‐KRAS, c‐Myc and HIF‐1a‐alongside gut and tumor microbiota, all converging on glutamine metabolism in PDAC. At the center, glutamine handling is depicted as the linchpin of tumor growth, biosynthesis and immune modulation. The green panel lists major intervention strategies: DON‐loaded nanoparticles, prodrugs (DRP‐104/JHU ...

Molecular architecture of language‐related cortical areas revealed by integrative proteomic and connectome analyses

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Wu et al. studied why certain brain areas are more connected than others. They found that areas with similar protein patterns tend to work together more closely. Additionally, they found when one area is affected such as in brain tumours, other areas with similar patterns especially contralateral regions might help.

The mRNA Translation Inhibitor Vioprolide A Prevents Inflammatory Pain‐Like Behaviour With Limited Action on Already Established Pain‐Like Behaviour in Mice

European Journal of Pain, Volume 29, Issue 8, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Accumulating evidence indicates that pharmacological inhibition of the translational machinery is a therapeutic strategy for various diseases. However, whether inhibitors of mRNA translation might be suitable for pain therapy remains poorly understood. Here, we tested the potential analgesic effects of the natural product vioprolide

Importance of Shank3 Protein in Regulating Metabotropic Glutamate Receptor 5 (mGluR5) Expression and Signaling at Synapses

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Shank3/PROSAP2 gene mutations are associated with cognitive impairment ranging from mental retardation to autism. Shank3 is a large scaffold postsynaptic density protein implicated in dendritic spines and synapse formation; however, its specific ...

Central Pattern Generators in Spinal Cord Injury: Mechanisms, Modulation, and Therapeutic Strategies for Motor Recovery

JOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
This study explores the role of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) in locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). It examines CPG organization, function, and modulation through amino acids, biogenic amines, and acetylcholine. Therapeutic strategies, including pharmacological, electrical, and optogenetic approaches, are reviewed, alongside current
