A Hypertrophic Stimulus Drives Age-Dependent Transcript Isoform Switching With and Without Differential Gene Expression in Skeletal Muscle. [PDF]
A combined analysis of short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq demonstrates reduced isoform switching after an acute hypertrophic stimulus in aged muscle and identifies age‐dependent isoforms that may not be detected with total gene‐level analyses. ABSTRACT Aged skeletal muscle has a reduced ability to adapt to hypertrophic stimuli concomitant with ...

Leukodystrophy in Tanzania: A Case Study Highlighting Diagnostic Dilemmas and Clinical Implications [PDF]
ABSTRACT Leukodystrophies are rare inherited neurodegenerative disorders characterized by progressive white matter dysfunction and neurological decline. In low‐resource settings, limited access to advanced neuroimaging, biochemical investigations, and genetic testing often delays diagnosis and complicates differentiation from more common infectious ...

Accumulation of prosaposin and progranulin around the subfornical organ induces polydipsia in SAP-D-deficient mice [PDF]
Prosaposin (PSAP), a precursor of saposins, is essential for lysosomal hydrolysis of sphingolipids. It binds with progranulin (PGRN) and transports from the Golgi to lysosomes, where it is processed into saposins.

Prosaposin orchestrates a TGFβ1-driven paracrine loop between Schwann cells and gastric cancer to accelerate perineural invasion [PDF]
Perineural invasion (PNI) is an established adverse prognostic factor in gastric cancer (GC), yet the molecular events initiating this process remain poorly defined.

The transmembrane IL-15 isoform expressed on human melanoma cells triggers modulatory effects on tumor progression upon stimulation with the soluble IL-15Rα chain [PDF]
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is expressed in various cancers, including melanoma, where it exists in distinct membrane-associated isoforms. Primary melanoma cells predominantly express the non-cleavable transmembrane form (tmbIL-15), while metastatic cells ...
