The process of internalization of the Shiga toxin A subunit via formation of a complex with the Shiga toxin B subunit, which specifically binds to the Gb3 receptor. The peptide is designed to act as a carrier of drugs into cancer cells. Here, we explored the potential of peptides derived from the catalytic A subunit of Shiga toxin (STxA) to be drug ...

Intentional inhibition of actions in humans [PDF]
A crucial component of human behavioural flexibility is the capacity to inhibit actions at the last moment before action execution. This behavioural inhibition is often not an immediate reaction to external stimuli, but rather an endogenous ‘free ...

Enhancement of tonic and phasic GABAergic currents following nitric oxide synthase inhibition in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is involved in synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus through different presynaptic and postsynaptic mechanisms that include the modulation of the GABAergic neurotransmission.

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Effect of sensory deprivation and locus coeruleus phasic electrical stimulation following the deflection of adjacent whisker on response properties of principal whisker related-neurons in layer IV of rat barrel cortex [PDF]
Background: Barrel cortex of rodents is responsible for sensory information processing via facial whiskers. Locus coeruleus (LC), main source of cortical norepinephrine (NE), influences tactile sensory processing.

Associations between Tonic and Phasic Irritability and Cognitive Functions [PDF]
Irritability is a transdiagnostic construct linked to difficulties in emotion regulation and executive functioning, including sustained attention, response inhibition, conflict monitoring, decision-making, and planning.

Intracellular mechanisms underlying prostaglandin F2α-stimulated phasic myometrial contractions [PDF]
These studies sought to test the hypothesis that prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α)-stimulated phasic myometrial contractions are characterized by the activation of the phosphatidylinositol-signaling pathway resulting in the generation of cytosolic calcium ...

Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
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 ...
