Proteostasis of organelles in aging and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cells rely on regulated proteostasis mechanisms to keep their internal compartments functioning properly. When these mechanisms fail, damaged proteins accumulate, disrupting organelles, such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi, and lysosomes, as well as membraneless organelles, such as stress granules, processing bodies, the ...

Novel anti-prion compounds screening in prion-infected cell culture model combined with surface plasmon resonance analysis

Scientific Reports
Prions are misfolded proteins (PrPSc) capable of inducing the same conformational change in normal prion proteins (PrPC). These aberrant proteins are responsible for neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans, for which no effective treatments ...

Molecular dynamics simulations elucidate the misfolding mechanisms of secretion‐defective pancreatic lipase variants

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Misfolding mutations in pancreatic lipase have been identified as potential contributors of chronic pancreatitis, an inflammatory disease of the human pancreas. Here, we describe the effect of these misfolding mutations on pancreatic lipase structure using molecular dynamics simulations and structural modeling.

Bone Grafts: Everything You Need to Know

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This review classifies bone grafts (autograft, allograft, xenograft, synthetic) by source and osteogenic/inductive/conductive potential, linking material properties and mechanisms to clinical indications in periodontal and dental regeneration. Key challenges—limited osteoinduction, poor vascularisation, unbalanced resorption, handling difficulties, and

Detection limitations of prion seeding activities in blood samples from patients with sporadic prion disease

BMC Neurology
Background Human prion diseases (HPDs) are fatal neurodegenerative disorders characterized by abnormal prion proteins (PrPSc). However, the detection of prion seeding activity in patients with high sensitivity remains challenging.

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,

Evolutionary behaviour of bacterial prion-like proteins.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Prions in eukaryotes have been linked to diseases, evolutionary capacitance, large-scale genetic control and long-term memory formation. In bacteria, constructed prion-forming proteins have been described, such as the prion-forming protein recently ...

The GSK3/SHAGGY‐like OsGSK3 phosphorylates and inhibits phase separation of OsFCA at Ser‐43 and Ser‐45 to regulate brassinosteroid signaling and rice architecture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
A working model for GLYCOGEN SYNTHASE KINASE 3‐mediated phosphorylation of FLOWERING CONTROL LOCUS A in the regulation of brassinosteroid signaling and rice growth and development. Summary Brassinosteroid (BR) signaling plays a critical role in rice (Oryza sativa L.) grain development.

Long‐term stability of horizontal bone augmentation at implant sites

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Horizontal bone augmentation is a fundamental surgical procedure in regenerative implant dentistry. In recent decades, this procedure has evolved, enabling clinicians to achieve predictable and stable horizontal bone augmentation that supports dental implant restorations.
