Is Adipose Tissue Inflammation the Culprit of Obesity‐Associated Comorbidities?

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In individuals with obesity, the onset of chronic comorbidities coincides with the excessive accumulation of adipose tissue in various tissue beds. As obesity progresses, adipose tissue becomes increasingly dysfunctional causing chronic low‐grade inflammation.

Weight Loss‐Associated Remodeling of Adipose Tissue Immunometabolism

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Obesity is a multifactorial condition characterized by excessive adiposity and systemic chronic low‐grade inflammation. Recent literature reflects a growing appreciation for the complex interplay between metabolism and the immune system in the pathogenesis of obesity‐related health conditions.

Neuroimmune pathophysiology of long COVID

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Although COVID‐19 was originally considered a respiratory illness, it is now well established that SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can have far‐reaching impacts on the nervous system. Neurological symptoms such as chemosensory dysfunction are frequently observed during acute infection and approximately 10% of COVID‐19 cases will go on to develop new or persistent

Autoantibodies and Inflammation in Schizophrenia

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
The potential role of autoantibodies in the etiology of schizophrenia is a key research focus because growing evidence suggests an association between immune dysfunction and psychotic disorders. This hypothesis is supported by findings indicating immune‐related abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia, including chronic inflammation and genetic ...

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor α7 Subunit Mediates Migration of Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Toward Nicotine

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004
GbaSM-4 cells, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) derived from brain basilar arteries, were shown to migrate toward d-nicotine by augmenting the actin cytoskeleton in their cell bodies and lamellipodia, and expression of nicotinic acetylcholine ...

Microgravity‐induced changes in skeletal muscle and possible countermeasures: What we can learn from bed rest and human space studies

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite exercise countermeasures to sustain health and performance in spaceflight, complete maintenance of muscle mass and functions in microgravity is still not possible for most astronauts. The principal cause of the limited effectiveness of existing exercise countermeasures is the difficulty in achieving full loading forces in space.

Optogenetic methods to stimulate gamma motor neuron axons ex vivo

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract It is challenging to stimulate gamma motor neurons, which are important regulators of muscle spindle afferent function, without also recruiting alpha motor neurons. Here, we test the feasibility of stimulating gamma motor neuron axons using optogenetics in two transgenic mouse lines. We used an ex vivo muscle–nerve preparation in adult mice to
