The immunological landscape of the area postrema in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
Aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive neuromyelitis spectrum disorder is characterized by large tissue destructive lesions in medulla, spinal cord, and optic nerves, with only partial recovery from clinical symptoms, and by lesions with very little tissue destruction and mostly complete recovery from clinical symptoms, as seen in the area postrema ...

Serum Retinol-Binding Protein 4 as a Marker for Cardiovascular Disease in Women

PLoS ONE, 2012
Elevated serum level of retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been associated with obesity-related co-morbidities including insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension.The present study examined the relationship between serum level of RBP4 and various risk factors related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) in men and women.284 subjects (139 males ...

Structural and biochemical basis for retinol‐binding protein 4 antagonism by tinlarebant

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Retinol‐binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin superfamily that is connected to disease states such as insulin resistance, fatty liver disease and ocular disorders including Stargardt disease. Several retinoid and non‐retinoid antagonists of this protein have been developed for potential clinical use, but none have

Characteristics of retinol accumulation from serum retinol-binding protein by cultured Sertoli cells [PDF]

, 1989
The uptake of retinol was examined in cultured Sertoli cells when retinol was provided as a complex with the transport protein retinol-binding protein (RBP). Sertoli cells accumulated [3H]retinol in a time- and temperature-dependent manner. At 32 °C, the

Protein mis-folding and human disease

, 2010
Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP), a putative molecular chaperone, is a homopentamericplasma protein of 25kDa subunits. It binds to the amyloid fibrils ofmisfolded proteins, which cause amyloidosis in humans. SAP not only stabilizesamyloid fibrils but also

Histological manifestations of vitamin A toxicity in the liver

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Analysing clinicopathological data from 1960 to 2025, this study characterizes the spectrum of liver injury associated with chronic vitamin A toxicity. Hepatic stellate cell hypertrophy/hyperplasia and sinusoidal fibrosis emerge as the predominant features, providing a morphological basis for diagnosing vitamin A hepatotoxicity.

Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.
