Neurotoxicity of Hcy. (A figure that best represents the scope of the paper.) Homocysteine can reduce the tightness of endothelial cell connections, increase vascular permeability, and damage the blood–brain barrier. Homocysteine activates various glutamate receptors on the surfaces of neurons and glial cells, triggering excitotoxicity, promoting the ...

We have demonstrated that blocking CXCR4 may be a potent anti-metastatic therapy for CXCR4-related oral cancer. However, as CXCR4 antagonists are currently in clinical use to induce the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, continuous administration ...

Main Points Multi‐omics reveal Annexin‐A2 (A2) and S100a10 (A10) as SCN astrocyte enriched proteins. Disrupting A2‐A10 complex elevates astrocyte Ca2+ and compromises SCN timekeeping. Astrocytic A2‐A10 is a critical control point for SCN network rhythms.

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Alzheimer's disease (AD), a chronic neurodegenerative disorder, is portrayed by neurocognitive decline in the structure and function of the human brain. Various factors are implicated in the pathogenesis to neuroplasticity alteration in the brain of an individual afflicted with AD.

Glutamine Metabolism: Molecular Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Tumor cells adapt to nutrient‐poor environments by altering metabolism to acquire essential nutrients. They convert glutamine into glutamate and α‐ketoglutarate, supporting mTOR activation and sugar biosynthesis. Disruption of mTORC1 signaling is linked to disease, while glutamine and leucine activation promotes cell growth and inhibits autophagy ...
