Redox environment modulates aggregation of ataxin‐3 in vitro — Implications for drug screening of cysteine‐rich proteins

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Redox environment modulates in vitro aggregation of Ataxin‐3, the protein implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 3. Reducing conditions stabilize native monomers and prevent aggregation, whereas oxidative conditions promote the formation of non‐native conformers and disulfide‐linked oligomers within the Josephin domain (JD).

Inhibition of group-I metabotropic glutamate receptors protects against prion toxicity.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Prion infections cause inexorable, progressive neurological dysfunction and neurodegeneration. Expression of the cellular prion protein PrPC is required for toxicity, suggesting the existence of deleterious PrPC-dependent signaling cascades.

Novel murine closed‐loop auditory stimulation paradigm elicits macrostructural sleep benefits in neurodegeneration

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Boosting slow‐wave activity (SWA) by modulating slow waves through closed‐loop auditory stimulation (CLAS) might provide a powerful non‐pharmacological tool to investigate the link between sleep and neurodegeneration. Here, we established mouse CLAS (mCLAS)‐mediated SWA enhancement and explored its effects on sleep deficits in neurodegeneration,

Japan Brain Bank Net (JBBN)

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Autopsies have long been performed to determine the cause of death in the medical field. In fact, autopsies have significantly contributed to our understanding of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Patients and their families who wish to donate bodies for autopsy may have various expectations, such as contributing to the development of treatments ...

First Report of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) of the Leporine Shadow of Prion Protein Gene (SPRN) and Absence of Nonsynonymous SNPs in the Open Reading Frame (ORF) in Rabbits

Animals
Prion disorders are fatal infectious diseases that are caused by a buildup of pathogenic prion protein (PrPSc) in susceptible mammals. According to new findings, the shadow of prion protein (Sho) encoded by the shadow of prion protein gene (SPRN) is ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

Doppel as an early‐stage biomarker promoting EMT and dissemination in ovarian cancers

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1755-1768, 15 March 2026.
What's new? Existing biomarkers for ovarian cancer (OC) lack the sensitivity and specificity needed to consistently distinguish the malignancy from non‐ovarian influences and other cancers. Here, the authors explored the ability of the prion‐like protein Doppel, normally found in the male testes, to detect OC.
