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.

Flow Cytometry Characterization and Analysis of Glial and Immune Cells from the Spinal Cord

Neuroglia
Several protocols have been developed with the aim of characterizing glial and immune cells from the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a small number of these protocols have demonstrated the ability to yield satisfactory results following ...

Effect of mechanical stimulation on tissue heterotopic ossification: an in vivo experimental study

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Background: Heterotopic ossification of tendons and ligaments (HOTL) is a common clinical condition characterized by the absence of discernible features and a lack of effective treatment. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that mechanical stimulation

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

c-Jun reprograms Schwann cells of injured nerves to generate a repair cell essential for regeneration.

, 2012
The radical response of peripheral nerves to injury (Wallerian degeneration) is the cornerstone of nerve repair. We show that activation of the transcription factor c-Jun in Schwann cells is a global regulator of Wallerian degeneration.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Immunomodulation by 4-Hydroxy-TEMPO (TEMPOL) and Dimethyl Fumarate (DMF) After Ventral Root Crush (VRC) in C57BL/6J Mice: A Flow Cytometry Analysis

Biology
Spinal motor nerve root lesions can happen after avulsion or crush, generating acute motoneuron death and synaptic loss, consequently, causing motor and sensory dysfunctions. Local response is mediated by astroglial and microglial cells, giving rise to a

Linking Alpha-Synuclein to the Actin Cytoskeleton: Consequences to Neuronal Function

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Alpha-Synuclein (αSyn), a protein highly enriched in neurons where it preferentially localizes at the pre-synapse, has been in the spotlight because its intraneuronal aggregation is a central phenomenon in Parkinson’s disease.

Neuropeptides Involved in Facial Nerve Regeneration

Biomedicines, 2021
Neuropeptides and neurotransmitters act as intermediaries to transmit impulses from one neuron to another via a synapse. These neuropeptides are also related to nerve degeneration and regeneration during nerve damage.

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 ...
