Beyond the GTP‐cap: Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of microtubule catastrophe

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Microtubule dynamics are essential for myriad cellular processes. The switching between microtubule growth and shrinkage is traditionally explained by the loss of a protective “cap” of GTP‐bound tubulin subunits from the growing microtubule end. New research shows that features beyond the nucleotide content at the growing end impact microtubule ...

Role of Testosterone Signaling in Microglia: A Potential Role for Sex‐Related Differences in Alzheimer's Disease

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Testosterone enhances Aβ‐induced autophagy in microglia via the non‐genomic testosterone receptor GPRC6A, promoting Aβ clearance by suppressing ERK phosphorylation and inhibiting mTOR activation. In male 5xFAD mice, testicular removal reduces microglial autophagy and Aβ clearance, which is restored by testosterone.

Microtubule Organization and Microtubule-Associated Proteins (MAPs)

open access: yes, 2016
Dendrites have a unique microtubule organization. In vertebrates, dendriticmicrotubules are organized in antiparallel bundles, oriented with their plusends either pointing away or toward the soma. The mixed microtubule arrayscontrol intracellular trafficking and local signaling pathways, and are essential fordendrite development and function.

LIPUS Promotes Calcium Oscillation and Enhances Calcium Dependent Autophagy of Chondrocytes to Alleviate Osteoarthritis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A non‐invasive and safe physical therapy, low‐intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can alleviate osteoarthritis. This study dynamically “visualizes” the invisible mechanical stimuli of LIPUS on living chondrocytes by fluorescence imaging technology in the form of calcium oscillations, confirming LIPUS maintains cartilage homeostasis by promoting ...

DAPK3 is Essential for DBP‐Induced Autophagy of Mouse Leydig Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study has confirmed that death‐associated protein kinase 3 (DAPK3) is essential for dibutyl phthalate (DBP)‐induced autophagy of mouse Leydig cells, and is regulated by both transcription factor specific protein 2 (Sp2) and parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligase (PRKN), and melatonin can alleviate DBP‐induced autophagy of the cells.

Microtubule Disruption Without Learning Impairment in the Unicellular Organism, Paramecium: Implications for Information Processing in Microtubules

open access: yesBasic and Clinical Neuroscience, 2022
Introduction: Information processing in microtubules is an open question that has not been adequately addressed. It was suggested that microtubules could store and process information in the nervous system or even support consciousness.

Sperm‐Derived CircRNA‐1572 Regulates Embryogenesis and Zygotic Genome Activation by Targeting CCNB2 via Bta‐miR‐2478‐L‐2

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Sperm‐derived circRNA‐1572 competitively binds to bta‐miR‐2478‐L‐2 through a “sponge” mechanism to regulate cyclin B2 (CCNB2) expression, thereby modulating the distribution of fibrous actin (F‐actin) in early pig embryos, ensuring proper chromosome segregation during mitosis, and facilitating normal embryo cleavage and zygotic genome activation.
