Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Joseph the MoUSE — Mouse Ultrasonic Sound Explorer

SoftwareX
Joseph the MoUSE — Mouse Ultrasonic Sound Explorer (MoUSE) software aims to address the issue of manual analysis of recordings from experiments on rodents by introducing automatic techniques for ultrasonic vocalization (USV) detection. It combines deep learning (DL) methods with classical pattern recognition and computer graphics algorithms.

The mouse that trolled [PDF]

Journal of Law and the Biosciences, 2015
As one of the actors in the mouse trolling drama detailed in Bubela, Vishnubhakat and Cook-Deegan (2015),1 I might say that, although I was not aware of this or contacted by the authors before publication, I am in complete agreement with their paper and its conclusions.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Mouse MRI shows brain areas relatively larger in males emerge before those larger in females

Nature Communications, 2018
Sex differences occur in various aspects of neurodevelopment. Here the authors use manganese-enhanced MRI at nine different postnatal stages to detail the development of structural sex differences in the mouse brain.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Acetylated tubulin is essential for touch sensation in mice

eLife, 2016
At its most fundamental level, touch sensation requires the translation of mechanical energy into mechanosensitive ion channel opening, thereby generating electro-chemical signals.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Effect of Shipping on the Microbiome of Donor Mice Used to Reconstitute Germ-Free Recipients

Gut Microbes Reports
The gut microbiome (GM) influences multiple processes during host development and maintenance. To study these events, fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) to germ-free (GF) recipients is often performed.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
