Identification of genes involved in osteoblast differentiation with an shRNA-based approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from bone marrow and they can differentiate in a variety of cell types, including osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, myoblasts, hepatocytes, and neural cells.

Metabolism of the neuromodulator D-serine

open access: yes, 2010
Over the past years, accumulating evidence has indicated that d-serine is the endogenous ligand for the glycine-modulatory binding site on the NR1 subunit of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors in various brain areas.

D-Serine metabolism in C6 glioma cells : Involvement of alanine-serine-cysteine transporter (ASCT2) and serine racemase (SRR) but not D-amino acid oxidase (DAO)

open access: yes, 2010
D-serine is an endogenous N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor coagonist. It is synthesized from L-serine by serine racemase (SRR), but many aspects of its metabolism remain unclear, especially in the forebrain, which lacks active D-amino acid oxidase ...

Structural and Functional Adaptation of Vancomycin Resistance VanT Serine Racemases

open access: yesmBio, 2015
Vancomycin resistance in Gram-positive bacteria results from the replacement of the d-alanyl–d-alanine target of peptidoglycan precursors with d-alanyl–d-lactate or d-alanyl–d-serine (d-Ala-d-Ser), to which vancomycin has low binding affinity.

Involvement of trimethylamine N-oxide in major depressive disorder via astrocytic d-Serine dysregulation

open access: yesNeurotherapeutics
Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a co-metabolite of the gut microbiota and host, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various neuropsychiatric disorders. However, its role in major depressive disorder (MDD) remains poorly understood.

Astrocyte D-serine modulates the activation of neuronal NOS leading to the development of mechanical allodynia in peripheral neuropathy

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2019
Spinal D-serine plays an important role in nociception via an increase in phosphorylation of the N -Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor GluN1 subunit (pGluN1). However, the cellular mechanisms underlying this process have not been elucidated.

Human serine racemase structure/activity relationship studies provide mechanistic insight and point to position 84 as a hot spot for \u3ci\u3eβ\u3c/i\u3e-elimination function [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
There is currently great interest in human serine racemase, the enzyme responsible for producing the NMDA co-agonist D-serine. Reported correlation of D-serine levels with disorders including Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, and ischemic brain damage (elevated ...

The role of DAAO in cognitive impairment of offspring mice induced by arsenic exposure during early developmental stage.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Arsenic exposure model of offspring mice was established and intervened with 6-chlorobenzo[d]isoxazol-3-ol (CBIO), a D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) inhibitor, to explore the role of DAAO in cognitive impairment of offspring mice induced by arsenic during ...
