Identification of Urinary CD44 and Prosaposin as Specific Biomarkers of Urinary Tract Infections in Children With Neurogenic Bladders

Biomarker Insights, 2019
Purpose: Distinguishing urinary tract infection (UTI) from urinary tract colonization (UTC) in children with neurogenic bladders who require clean intermittent catheterization (CIC) is challenging.

Peripheral targets for neuropathic pain

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Neuropathic pain represents a significant clinical challenge, with still limited pharmacological approaches to symptomatic relief. This review focuses on molecular targets implicated in neuropathic pain, particularly those involved in peripheral mechanisms. Using the IUPHAR/BPS database of biological targets, their occurrence together with ‘neuropathic

Ambient air pollution decreased normal fertilization rate via the mediation of seminal prosaposin

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Objective: This study focuses on the association between seminal concentration of prosaposin and ambient air pollutants and whether the association affects the normal fertilization rate in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.

A prosaposin-derived Peptide alleviates kainic Acid-induced brain injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Four sphingolipid activator proteins (i.e., saposins A-D) are synthesized from a single precursor protein, prosaposin (PS), which exerts exogenous neurotrophic effects in vivo and in vitro.

Administration of prosaposin-derived neurotrophic factor to neural tube defects facilitates regeneration and restores neurological functions

iScience, 2023
Summary: Neural tube defects (NTDs) cause fetal and pediatric deaths or lifelong neurological disabilities. No effective treatment is currently available for NTDs.

Molecular Control of Neural Stem Cell Quiescence in the Adult Zebrafish Telencephalon: Established Mechanisms and an Integrative Hypothesis

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 12, December 2026.
Adult zebrafish radial glia quiescence is controlled by at least four mechanisms: Notch3, BMP‐Id1, Nr2f1b and Midkine‐a. We propose these act as partially redundant inputs, biased along the antero‐posterior axis that set quiescence depth. ABSTRACT The zebrafish telencephalon is an excellent model for adult neurogenesis under physiological and ...

Prosaposin maintains lipid homeostasis in dopamine neurons and counteracts experimental parkinsonism in rodents

Nature Communications, 2023
Prosaposin (PSAP) modulates glycosphingolipid metabolism and variants have been linked to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Here, we find altered PSAP levels in the plasma, CSF and post-mortem brain of PD patients.

Mr BMT Achieves Systemic Macrophage Replacement With Preservation of Tissue Homeostasis

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 58, 19 October 2026.
Microglia replacement by bone marrow transplantation (Mr BMT) enables systemic replacement of tissue‐resident macrophages. Despite persistent macrophage and tissue remodeling across multiple organs, core biological functions and innate immune responses remain preserved, supporting long‐term maintenance of organismal homeostasis and the therapeutic ...

Biophysical Characterization and Proteomic Analysis of Small Extracellular Vesicles Derived From Different Neural Cell Lines

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2026.
This study systematically compares small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from four neural cell lines, revealing how cellular origin shapes vesicle biophysical properties and proteomic cargo. Distinct, lineage‐specific signatures linked to neuronal, astrocytic, and microglial functions are identified, highlighting the importance of cell source ...

Hypoxia-ischemia alters distribution of lysosomal proteins in rat cortex and hippocampus

Biology Open, 2018
Neuronal excitotoxicity induced by glutamatergic receptor overstimulation contributes to brain damage. Recent studies have shown that lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) is involved in ischemia-associated neuronal death.
