Mesenchymal stem cells as cellular factories for targeted P2X7 blockade after traumatic brain injury
Neuroprotection, EarlyView.This manuscript presents a novel therapeutic strategy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) engineered as living drug factories to deliver a P2X7‐blocking nanobody for treatment of ischemic stroke. By combining targeted cellular delivery with sustained local immunomodulation, the approach aims to overcome key limitations of systemic biologic ...

Purinergic and Cholinergic Drugs Mediate Hyperventilation in Zebrafish: Evidence from a Novel Chemical Screen. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 A rapid test to identify drugs that affect autonomic responses to hypoxia holds therapeutic and ecologic value. The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a convenient animal model for investigating peripheral O2 chemoreceptors and respiratory reflexes in ...

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.Antiplatelet agents target the cyclooxygenase‐1 (COX‐1)/thromboxane A2 (TXA2) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP)‐P2Y12 (cytochrome P450 2C19 [CYP2C19]‐metabolized) platelet activation pathways, resulting in either drug resistance or over‐inhibition. The individualized therapeutic window balances ischemic risk (triggered by high on‐treatment platelet ...

Purinergic System Signaling in Metainflammation-Associated Osteoarthritis
Frontiers in Medicine, 2020 Inflammation triggered by metabolic imbalance, also called metainflammation, is low-grade inflammation caused by the components involved in metabolic syndrome (MetS), including central obesity and impaired glucose tolerance. This phenomenon is mainly due

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Impact of sleep insufficiency and recovery on cancer development
Sleep Research, EarlyView.Abstract Sleep plays a critical role in overall health, and modern lifestyles, such as shift work and late‐night activities, can significantly impact sleep condition. Insufficient sleep has been associated with various adverse health outcomes, including an increased risk of tumor development.
