A New Vista of Opportunity in Diabetes Management: Natural Product‐Based β‐cell Preservation

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Preserving functional β‐cells via natural products offers promising strategy for diabetes treatment. ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of diabetes is β‐cell failure, in which β‐cells cannot modulate insulin secretion to compensate for escalating insulin resistance, pushing forward disease development.

Modulatory effect of iron chelators on adenosine deaminase activity and gene expression in Trichomonas vaginalis

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2015
Trichomonas vaginalis is a flagellate protozoan that parasitises the urogenital human tract and causes trichomoniasis. During the infection, the acquisition of nutrients, such as iron and purine and pyrimidine nucleosides, is essential for the survival ...

Purinergic signalling in the Fragile X mouse cortex [PDF]

, 2021
Disordered communication between cortical neurons and glia underlies many of the characteristics of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common monogenic form of intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Tumor‐Regional Immune Microenvironment: A Critical Factor in the Design of Radiotherapy–Immunotherapy Combination Trials

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Clinical trials combining radiotherapy (RT) with immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) have shown improved outcomes in only a fraction of patients, and optimal strategies for integrating these modalities remain under intense investigation. With a few exceptions, phase III combination trials have yielded disappointing results.

Advances in GPCRs Associated With Wnt Signaling Within the Auditory System

Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) that interact with the Wnt signaling pathway are pivotal for auditory system homeostasis, as they orchestrate inner ear development, hair cell (HC) regeneration, and hearing preservation. Frizzled (FZD) receptors, the core Wnt‐related GPCRs, bind Wnt ligands and co‐receptors (e.g., LRP5/6) to activate both ...

Purinergic Signalling in Inflammatory Renal Disease

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Extracellular purines have a role in renal physiology and adaption to inflammation. However, inflammatory renal disease may be mediated by extracellular purines, resulting in renal injury.

Aberrant alternative splicing of purinergic receptor P2RX4 prevents sensitivity towards combinatorial treatment in colorectal and pancreatic cancer

The Journal of Pathology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recently, we suggested the combination of chemotherapy and P2RX4 inhibition as a promising novel therapeutic approach for P2RX4‐expressing epithelial tumors to prevent paracrine resistance. Here, we aimed to assess whether determining P2RX4 expression status in colorectal and pancreatic cancer patients would allow stratification of potentially

Noise‐Induced Hearing Loss: From Pathological Mechanisms to Therapeutic Interventions

Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Noise‐induced hearing loss (NIHL), a significant non‐genetic form of hearing impairment, is primarily managed through the use of hearing aids and cochlear implants. However, the fundamental pathological mechanisms underlying NIHL remain inadequately addressed.
