Role of purinergic receptors in the Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
AbstractEtiology of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is not fully understood. Different pathological processes are considered, such as amyloid deposition, tau protein phosphorylation, oxidative stress (OS), metal ion disregulation, or chronic neuroinflammation. Purinergic signaling is involved in all these processes, suggesting the importance of nucleotide

Abstract Background Radiotherapy (RT) is a key treatment modality in cancer therapy, utilizing high‐energy radiation to directly kill tumor cells. Recent research has increasingly highlighted RT's potential to indirectly enhance antitumor immunity. However, this immune activation alone often fails to generate sustained systemic antitumor responses.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Abstract Efforts to use transcriptomics for toxicity testing have classically relied on the assumption that chemicals consistently produce characteristic transcriptomic signatures that are reflective of their mechanism of action. However, the degree to which transcriptomic responses are conserved across different test methodologies has seldom been ...

ABSTRACT Aquaporin‐4 (AQP4) is a water‐selective channel expressed in glial cells throughout the central nervous system (CNS). It serves as the primary water channel in the neuropil and plays roles in physiological functions, including regulating water homeostasis by adjusting cell volume and modulating neuronal activity. Different isoforms of AQP4 are

Purinergic receptors in neurogenic processes
Neurogenesis is a process of generating functional neurons, which occurs during embryonic and adult stages in mammals. While neurogenesis during development phase is characterized by intensive proliferation activity in all regions of the brain to form the architecture and neural function of the nervous system, adult neurogenesis occurs with less ...

Astroglial CB1 Reveal Sex‐Specific Synaptic Effects of Amphetamine
Astroglial CB1R mediates long‐term synaptic plasticity (LTD) in the Nucleus accumbens. Amphetamine saturates adenosine receptors and blocks LTD in males, but not females. Locomotor effects of amphetamine require astroglial CB1R in males, but not in females.

A Xanthine Derivative With Novel Heat Shock Protein 90‐Alpha Inhibitory and Senolytic Properties
This study aimed to find safe senolytic drugs that selectively eliminate senescent cells. Focusing on HSP90 inhibitors, we employed a virtual screening to identify novel, safer compounds (A). K5, a xanthinic candidate, effectively eliminated senescent cells in various cellular models (B), extended lifespan in flies, and reduced aging signs in mice (C).

This study shows that human and mouse brains contain a different pool of strains that differentially affect the formation of Aβ and tau aggregates. Moreover, the murine seeds trigger an unresponsiveness microglial state, which causes the loss of plaque microglial coverage and affects the formation of amyloid plaques, leading to more severe neuritic ...
