Study of the cell biological role of Lowe Syndrome protein OCRL1
Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is caused by mutations in a phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphatase, OCRL1, and is believed to lead to an elevation of its preferred substrate, PI(4,5)P2.

Vascular smooth muscle cell mechanotransduction: Pathways, phenotypes and emerging technologies
Abstract figure legend Vascular smooth muscle cells are exposed to mechanical stimuli from the blood flow and the extracellular matrix. The cells sense the signals from cyclic stretch, shear stress, hydrostatic pressure and matrix stiffness through specialized mechanosensors, such as mechanosensitive ion channels or cell surface receptors including ...

Clinical, genetic and molecular aspects of membranous nephropathy
Membranous Nephropathy (MN) is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). MN is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies target antigens at the level of the glomerular basement membrane.

Bothropstoxin-I and bothropstoxin-II are phospholipase A2 homologues isolated from Bothrops jararacussu snake venom. The former is devoid of phospholipase A2 activity whereas the latter has very low enzymatic activity. In this study, we have investigated

ABSTRACT Introduction Preclinical evidence suggests that dysregulation of the ceramide‐sphingosine‐1‐phosphate (S1P) axis may have analgesic properties. However, currently approved S1PR1 modulators such as fingolimod are hindered for this indication as they induce lymphopenia.

This study demonstrates that the hepatoprotective effect of Polygonatum cyrtonema polysaccharide (PCP) is mediated by its gut microbiota‐derived metabolome, which enriches Bifidobacterium pseudolongum, suppresses the gut–liver axis of AA metabolism, and inhibits hepatic MAPK signaling. ABSTRACT Polygonatum cyrtonema, a traditional Chinese medicinal and

Idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is characterized by anti-phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) antibodies, yet current detection methods lack sensitivity or are invasive. We developed a chemiluminescent assay to address these limitations. Three PLA2R

ABSTRACT Background and aims Non‐alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) affects about a quarter of the world's population. Liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing the progressive form of NAFLD called Non‐alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) but it is invasive, prone to sampling errors and observer variability, and impractical for widespread ...
