Mutant SOD1 from spinal cord of G93A rats is destabilized and binds to inner mitochondrial membrane
Mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Mechanisms of mutant SOD1 toxicity are unknown, but increased SOD1 activity can boost production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the mitochondrial intermembrane

A retrospective study of the prevalence of the canine degenerative myelopathy associated superoxide dismutase 1 mutation (SOD1: c. 118G> A) in a referral population of German Shepherd dogs from the UK [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Canine degenerative myelopathy (CDM) is an adult onset, progressive neurodegenerative disease of the spinal cord. The disease was originally described in the German Shepherd dog (GSD), but it is now known to occur in many other dog breeds.

We unveil that CLC orchestrates the dual role of eosinophil recruitment via CCL26 and tissue remodelling via POSTN in allergic rhinitis, identifying it as a potential therapeutic target. ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic airway inflammation driven by a type 2 immune response, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its persistence and tissue

Molecular Lysine Tweezers Counteract Aberrant Protein Aggregation. [PDF]
Molecular tweezers (MTs) are supramolecular host molecules equipped with two aromatic pincers linked together by a spacer (Gakh, 2018). They are endowed with fascinating properties originating from their ability to hold guests between their aromatic ...

Single cell analysis reveals the involvement of the long non-coding RNA Pvt1 in the modulation of muscle atrophy and mitochondrial network [PDF]
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as important players in the regulation of several aspects of cellular biology. For a better comprehension of their function, it is fundamental to determine their tissue or cell specificity and to identify their

The diagram of the mechanism of action by which UroA regulates RF. ABSTRACT The global prevalence and mortality rates associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have been on a continuous rise over recent decades. Renal fibrosis (RF) serves as a critical factor in the progression of CKD to end‐stage renal disease.

Alterations in oxidative, inflammatory and apoptotic events in short-lived and long-lived mice testes [PDF]
Aged testes undergo profound histological and morphological alterations leading to a reduced functionality. Here, we investigated whether variations in longevity affect the development of local inflammatory processes, the oxidative state and the ...

The hypoxic transcription factor KlMga2 mediates the response to oxidative stress and influences longevity in the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis [PDF]
Hypoxia is defined as the decline of oxygen availability, depending on environmental supply and cellular consumption rate. The decrease in O2 results in reduction of available energy in facultative aerobes.
