The microbiome in human skin aging
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐related skin changes encompass the well‐known visible phenotypic alterations, together with microbiome dysbiosis and a series of molecular aging hallmarks. These hallmarks characterize not only a fully stablished aged phenotype but also the skin aging process itself.

5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) cellular sequestration during chronic exposure delays 5-HT3 receptor resensitization due to Its subsequent release [PDF]
, 2014 The serotonergic synapse is dynamically regulated by serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) with elevated levels leading to the down-regulation of the serotonin transporter and a variety of 5-HT receptors, including the 5-HT type-3 (5-HT3) receptors.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Single-array measurements reveal non-uniform, mosaic-like chemosensory arrays in bacteria
Nature CommunicationsMotile bacteria use supramolecular arrays to detect effector gradients in their environment. In Escherichia coli, thousands of chemoreceptor molecules with diverse sensory properties cooperatively modulate the kinase activity of these arrays and, via ...

Expression of neuropeptides – galanin and Reg2 - in subcategories of nociceptors after nerve injury [PDF]
, 2010 PhDNeuropeptides show dynamic changes in expression after nerve injury, and have been implicated in chronic pain states. I sought to compare expression of two peptides which are upregulated after nerve injury, galanin and Reg2, and to determine the ...

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

AAVR Expression is Essential for AAV Vector Transduction in Sensory Hair Cells
Advanced ScienceAdeno‐associated virus (AAV) vectors are a leading platform for gene therapy. Recently, AAV‐mediated gene therapy in the inner ear has progressed from laboratory use to clinical trials, but the lower transduction rates in outer hair cells (OHCs) in the ...
