SCGN deficiency results in colitis susceptibility
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects 1.5–3.0 million people in the United States. IBD is genetically determined and many common risk alleles have been identified. Yet, a large proportion of genetic predisposition remains unexplained.

Syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 are required for efficient retrograde transport of several exogenous and endogenous cargo proteins [PDF]
Retrograde transport allows proteins and lipids to leave the endocytic pathway to reach other intracellular compartments, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN)/Golgi membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and, in some instances, the cytosol. Here, we have used

Stability, folding dynamics, and long-range conformational transition of the synaptic t-SNARE complex [PDF]
Synaptic soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) couple their stepwise folding to fusion of synaptic vesicles with plasma membranes.

VAMP5 and distinct sets of cognate Q-SNAREs mediate exosome release
Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are largely classified into two types, plasma-membrane derived sEVs and endomembrane-derived sEVs. The latter type (referred to as exosomes herein) is originated from late endosomes or multivesicular bodies (MVBs).

A model for the self-organization of vesicular flux and protein distributions in the Golgi apparatus [PDF]
The generation of two non-identical membrane compartments via exchange of vesicles is considered to require two types of vesicles specified by distinct cytosolic coats that selectively recruit cargo and two membrane-bound SNARE pairs that specify fusion ...

Characteristics of a Surgical Snare Using Microwave Energy
Currently, minimally invasive treatments that insert various treatment devices into an endoscope are actively being performed. A high-frequency (HF) snare is commonly used as an energy device inserted into an endoscope.

Coronary sinus reducer transfemoral extraction after intraprocedural device migration: A case report
The coronary sinus reducer migration during implantation procedure is a rare complication with no standard bailout strategy. Transfemoral extraction of the reducer can be a safe and successful method, as demonstrated by this case report.

LRRK2 phosphorylates pre-synaptic N-ethylmaleimide sensitive fusion (NSF) protein enhancing its ATPase activity and SNARE complex disassembling rate [PDF]
Background Lrrk2, a gene linked to Parkinson\u2019s disease, encodes a large scaffolding protein with kinase and GTPase activities implicated in vesicle and cytoskeletal-related processes.

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.
