Innate immune response is differentially dysregulated between bipolar disease and schizophrenia [PDF]
Articles in PressSchizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are severe psychiatric conditions with a neurodevelopmental component. Genetic findings indicate the existence of an overlap in genetic susceptibility across the disorders. Also, image studies

Immune involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders: Insights from single‐cell transcriptomic studies
Neuropsychiatric disorders pose profound challenges to both research and treatment, largely due to their clinical heterogeneity and the limited understanding of their underlying biological mechanisms. While bulk RNA sequencing (bulk RNA‐seq) has been widely used to study gene expression, it cannot resolve cell‐type‐specific signals or detect rare ...

Tear proteome analysis in ocular surface diseases using label-free LC-MS/MS and multiplexedmicroarray biomarker validation [PDF]
We analyzed the tear film proteome of patients with dry eye (DE), meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), and normal volunteers (CT). Tear samples were collected from 70 individuals.

ABSTRACT Cell recognition and uptake of extracellular vesicles (EVs) is mediated by a variety of surface molecules. Growing interest has recently been drawn towards glycan structures on EVs. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a negatively charged glycosaminoglycan that can decorate the surface of EVs from different origins.

Influence of SERPINA1 Gene Polymorphisms on Anemia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Background. Anemia is one of the predominant hematological conditions, whereas chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a predominant respiratory disease. These two diseases were found to be interlinked, but the physiological pathways are still unclear. Aim.

An antibody that prevents serpin polymerisation acts by inducing a novel allosteric behavior [PDF]
Serpins are important regulators of proteolytic pathways with an antiprotease activity that involves a conformational transition from a metastable to a hyperstable state. Certain mutations permit the transition to occur in the absence of a protease; when

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

Haplotype-Aware Detection of SERPINA1 Variants by Nanopore Sequencing
α-1 Antitrypsin (AAT) is an acute-phase reactant with immunomodulatory properties that mainly inhibits neutrophil elastase. Low serum levels cause AAT deficiency (AATD), an underdiagnosed condition that predisposes to pulmonary and hepatic diseases. The SERPINA1 gene, which encodes AAT, contains >500 variants.
