A novel small molecule phagocytosis inhibitor, KB‐208, ameliorates ITP in mouse models with similar efficacy as IVIG

open access: yesTransfusion, Volume 64, Issue 12, Page 2233-2240, December 2024.
Abstract Background The characteristic feature of immune cytopenias involves the process of extravascular phagocytosis, wherein macrophages in the spleen and/or liver engage in the destruction of blood cells that have been opsonized by auto‐ or alloantibodies.

LC–MS‐Based Simultaneous Determination of Biomarkers in Dried Urine Spots for the Detection of Cofactor‐Dependent Metabolic Disorders in Neonates

open access: yesJournal of Separation Science, Volume 47, Issue 22, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Deficiency of cofactors for various enzymes can lead to inborn errors of metabolism. These conditions frequently occur as seizures, which lead to permanent brain damage. Newborn screening for biomarkers associated with these disorders can help in early detection and treatment.

Re‐evaluation of saccharin and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts (E 954) as food additives

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract This opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of saccharin and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts (E 954) as food additives. Saccharin is the chemically manufactured compound 1,2‐benzisothiazol‐3(2H)‐one‐1,1‐dioxide. Along with its sodium (Na), potassium (K) and calcium (Ca) salts, they are authorised as sweeteners (E 954).

Mouse developmental defects, but not paraganglioma tumorigenesis, upon conditional Complex II loss in early Sox10+ cells

open access: yesFASEB BioAdvances, Volume 6, Issue 9, Page 327-336, September 2024.
In humans, paragangliomas (PGLs) form in certain neuroendocrine cells that have lost succinate dehydrogenase, an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Conditional SDH deficiency has not yet been shown to drive PGL formation in mice, limiting available research tools. Here, prenatal SDH knockout in small numbers of SOX10+ precursors of adrenal medulla

Metformin treatment results in distinctive skeletal muscle mitochondrial remodeling in rats with different intrinsic aerobic capacities

open access: yesAging Cell, Volume 23, Issue 9, September 2024.
We tested if the effects of metformin were context specific in skeletal muscle using a rat model (high‐capacity and low‐capacity runners: HCRs/LCRs) with a divide in intrinsic aerobic capacity. Metformin lowered mitochondrial respiration, but a washout of metformin resulted in a doubling of respiratory capacity in HCRs, with no effect in LCRs.

Progress in experimental models to investigate the in vivo and in vitro antidiabetic activity of drugs

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 297-309, June 2024.
Abstract Diabetes mellitus is one of the world's most prevalent and complex metabolic disorders, and it is a rapidly growing global public health issue. It is characterized by hyperglycemia, a condition involving a high blood glucose level brought on by deficiencies in insulin secretion, decreased activity of insulin, or both.

Tests of evolutionary and genetic rescue using flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum, experimentally evolved to thermal conditions

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
We use experimental evolution to test the effects of demographic and evolutionary rescue in populations of Tribolium castaneum previously adapted to high temperature and kept at small population sizes. We find no evidence of rescue in these populations and discuss the results in the context of conservation intervention.

The origin, connectivity, and individual specialization of island wolves after deer extirpation

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2024.
We applied DNA metabarcoding and SNP genotyping to quantify variation in marine foraging behavior within wolf packs, among sexes, and individuals using 957 scats collected from an island and the adjacent mainland from 2016 to 2022. Island wolves consistently consumed sea otters while mainland wolves fed mainly on ungulates and voles with more variation

Limits to species distributions on tropical mountains shift from high temperature to competition as elevation increases

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 94, Issue 1, February 2024.
Abstract Species turnover with elevation is a widespread phenomenon and provides valuable information on why and how ecological communities might reorganize as the climate warms. It is commonly assumed that species interactions are more likely to set warm range limits, while physiological tolerances determine cold range limits.

Nervous system‐related tropism of SARS‐CoV‐2 and autoimmunity in COVID‐19 infection

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Immunology, Volume 54, Issue 1, January 2024.
This review summarizes the current knowledge regarding neurotropism and emerging immune responses in SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. There are direct and indirect effects on the nervous system by SARS‐CoV‐2 infection. Presently, vaccination against SARS‐CoV‐2 is the most effective way of preventing SARS‐CoV‐2 infection of the nervous system. Abstract The effects
