Chronic microinflammation in high myopia suppresses MANF in lens epithelial cells. MANF normally resides within MAMs and promotes ubiquitin‐mediated degradation of the ER Ca2+ pump SERCA2. MANF loss causes pathological SERCA2 accumulation, MAM hyperassembly, and disrupted ER‐to‐mitochondria Ca2+ transfer, leading to mitochondrial failure, oxidative ...

Store-operated Ca2+ entry is remodelled and controls in vitro angiogenesis in endothelial progenitor cells isolated from tumoral patients. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) may be recruited from bone marrow to sustain tumor vascularisation and promote the metastatic switch. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving EPC proliferation and tubulogenesis could outline novel ...

Advances in FGF/FGFR Signaling: Implications for Disease and Therapy
The FGF/FGFR signaling is indispensable for the maintenance of physiological homeostasis and governs multiple biological processes, including embryonic development, bone metabolism, angiogenesis, and neurogenesis, whereas aberrant hyperactivation of this pathway drives the progression of malignancies and autoimmune disorders, including inflammatory ...

BackgroundAn increase in the frequency of circulating endothelial colony forming cells (ECFCs), the only subset of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) truly belonging to the endothelial phenotype, occurs in patients affected by primary myelofibrosis (PMF)

Review of Congenital Myasthenic Syndrome Caused by Pathogenic Variants in GFPT1
ABSTRACT Glutamine:fructose‐6‐phosphate transaminase 1 (GFPT1) catalyzes the first and rate‐limiting step of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) to generate UDP‐GlcNAc. GFPT1 exon 9 is specifically spliced in in striated muscles, which makes a long isoform of GFPT1 (GFPT1‐L).

On the Role of Store-Operated Calcium Entry in Acute and Chronic Neurodegenerative Diseases
In both excitable and non-excitable cells, calcium (Ca2+) signals are maintained by a highly integrated process involving store-operated Ca2+ entry (SOCE), namely the opening of plasma membrane (PM) Ca2+ channels following the release of Ca2+ from ...

Urotensin II receptor deletion mitigates high‐fat diet‐induced kidney injury and renal lipid remodeling. Male wild‐type (WT) and urotensin II receptor–knockout (UT KO) mice were fed a high‐fat diet (HFD; 60% kcal from fat) for 33 weeks. In cultured mouse podocytes, urotensin II (UII)–UT signaling enhanced transient receptor potential canonical 6 (TRPC6)

DHCR24 Alleviates DNA Damage in Senescent Vascular Endothelial Cells via ENKUR/Ca2+ Signaling
In senescent vascular endothelial cells, DHCR24 deficiency triggers ENKUR‐dependent Ca2+ overload, which in turn induces endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, ultimately exacerbating oxidative stress and DNA damage. ABSTRACT DNA damage is considered one of the major contributors to aging.

Dysregulation of Neuronal Calcium Signaling via Store-Operated Channels in Huntington's Disease
Huntington's disease (HD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by motor, cognitive, and psychiatric problems. It is caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the huntingtin protein that leads to striatal degeneration via the ...

Prosociality: Against Consequentialism and Towards Relationality
ABSTRACT Prosocial behaviour is a topic of concern within sociology and the social sciences more broadly. Though defined in various ways, the dominant theme of existing definitions of prosociality centres the causal power of an act in producing real or intended benefits for some other agents, at a cost to the agent that performed the act.
