Proteomic Signatures of Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss in the Mouse Cochlea
Cell Biology International, Volume 50, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Hearing loss affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide and has substantial social, educational, and economic consequences. Although genetic studies have identified numerous hearing‐loss‐associated genes, the molecular changes accompanying noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL) remain incompletely understood.

Prosaposin is a regulator of progranulin levels and oligomerization
Nature Communications, 2016 Increasing progranulin (PGRN) levels is a promising approach for treating frontotemporal dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases. Here Nicholson et al.show that the prosaposin (PSAP) locus is associated with plasma PGRN levels and demonstrate that ...

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.1. Microglial functions arise from dynamic, context‐dependent programs rather than fixed M1/M2 phenotypes. 2. Inflammatory, interferon‐responsive, phagocytic/lipid‐metabolic and repair‐associated programs coexist across disease stages and brain regions. 3.

Adipocyte‐Derived Leptolin Enhances Energy Expenditure and Prevents Obesity
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 46, 17 August 2026.We identified a novel adipokine, which we named leptolin. In humans, leptolin levels in white adipose tissue were positively correlated with exercise and negatively associated with body mass index. We observed elevated leptolin in serum from athletes and lower leptolin in serum from obese individuals.

Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is a fatal neurodegenerative disease primarily affecting motor neurons. Two key protein inclusions found in lower motor neurons serve as neuropathological hallmarks of the disease in human tissue: the TDP43‐positive inclusion and the cystatin C‐positive Bunina body.

Nonclassical MHC‐I Molecules: Emerging Therapeutic Targets in Next‐Generation Immunotherapy
MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.Immunotherapies dependent on classical MHC‐I molecules face significant challenges, including extreme polymorphism and frequent downregulation in pathological conditions. This review discusses how nonclassical MHC‐I molecules (HLA‐E, HLA‐F, HLA‐G, CD1, MR1) may potentially circumvent these limitations through restricted genetic diversity, stable ...

Prosaposin overexpression following kainic acid-induced neurotoxicity.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Because excessive glutamate release is believed to play a pivotal role in numerous neuropathological disorders, such as ischemia or seizure, we aimed to investigate whether intrinsic prosaposin (PS), a neuroprotective factor when supplied exogenously in ...

Expression of prosaposin and its receptors in the rat cerebellum after kainic acid injection
IBRO Reports, 2017 Prosaposin (PSAP), a highly conserved glycoprotein, is a precursor of saposins A–D. Accumulating evidence suggests that PSAP is a neurotrophic factor that induces differentiation and prevents death in a variety of neuronal cells through the active region
