Baicalin Depresses the Sympathoexcitatory Reflex Induced by Myocardial Ischemia via the Dorsal Root Ganglia

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Myocardial ischemia (MI) is one of the major causes of death in cardiac diseases. Purinergic signaling is involved in bidirectional neuronal-glial communication in the primary sensory ganglia.

P2X₃ Knock-Out Mice Reveal a Major Sensory Role for Urothelially Released ATP [PDF]

, 2001
The present study explores the possible involvement of a purinergic mechanism in mechanosensory transduction in the bladder using P2X₃ receptor knock-out (P2X₃ ⁻⁄⁻) and wild-type control (P2X₃ ⁺⁄⁺) mice.

Fluorescence fluctuation analysis of Arabidopsis thaliana somatic embryogenesis receptor-like kinase and brassinosteroid insensitive 1 receptor ologomerization. [PDF]

, 2008
Receptor kinases play a key role in the cellular perception of signals. To verify models for receptor activation through dimerization, an experimental system is required to determine the precise oligomerization status of proteins within living cells ...

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Mechanisms and consequences of reduced dendritic growth of cerebellar Purkinje cells [PDF]

, 2012
The cerebellum is a brain region crucial for coordination and motor learning. Being the principal output cell of the cerebellar cortex, Purkinje cell loss and degeneration play an important role in many cerebellar diseases.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Gene transfer to respiratory epithelial cells via the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway [PDF]

, 1992
Gene-based therapies for a variety of inherited and acquired pulmonary diseases will require the development of vectors capable of safe and efficient transfer of DNA to the respiratory epithelium.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses
