Reproductive health and rheumatoid arthritis

BMC Rheumatology
Abstract Introduction: The prevalence of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has been steadily increasing over the last thirty years, particularly among women. Due to the conflicting results of various studies on the link between rheumatoid arthritis and reproductive health, we have undertaken this study to explore their relationship.

Septin 9 PB domains coordinate centrosome positioning and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Septin 9 polybasic domains couple phosphoinositide‐rich membrane binding to centrosome positioning, Golgi organization, and microtubule acetylation to control epithelial polarity. Their loss disrupts this axis, causing centrosome mispositioning, Golgi fragmentation, reduced microtubule acetylation, and polarity inversion via upregulation of the ...

Associations between organophosphate flame retardants and risk for nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate in offspring

Environmental Sciences Europe
Introduction Nonsyndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is a common congenital malformation with a complex etiology involving many environmental factors. Organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) are a class of emerging contaminants that are associated

Rab14 regulates the transport of human papillomavirus to the trans‐Golgi network for infectious cell entry

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

BDNF secreted by mesenchymal stem cells improves aged oocyte quality and development potential by activating the ERK1/2 pathway

Cell Communication and Signaling
Background Reduced oocyte quality is a key factor in age-related fertility decline, and there are no effective treatments available. The secretome of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-sec) contains various bioactive factors and has the potential to improve ...

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...
