Brain Processing of Contagious Itch in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis

Frontiers in Psychology, 2017
Several studies show that itch and scratching cannot only be induced by pruritogens like histamine or cowhage, but also by the presentation of certain (audio-) visual stimuli like pictures on crawling insects or videos showing other people scratching ...

Galactokinase 1 Positively Regulates Mitochondrial Respiration by Phosphorylating TIMM13 as a Protein Kinase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
GALK1 acts as a protein kinase beyond the phosphorylation of galactose. GALK1 phosphorylates TIMM13 at Y73 in the cytoplasm. This phosphorylation prevents premature oxidative folding of TIMM13 and ensures its entrance into the intermembrane space of mitochondrion, positively regulating mitochondrial respiration.

Pauses in cholinergic interneuron firing exert an inhibitory control on striatal output in vivo

eLife, 2018
The cholinergic interneurons (CINs) of the striatum are crucial for normal motor and behavioral functions of the basal ganglia. Striatal CINs exhibit tonic firing punctuated by distinct pauses.

Developmentally Guided Differentiation of Ventral Midbrain Dopaminergic Cells Validated in Proteopathy‐Based Parkinson's Disease Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A developmentally guided protocol reproducibly specifies EN1‐positive ventral midbrain dopaminergic (vmDA) progenitors from human pluripotent stem cells and yields functional vmDA neurons. Optogenetic induction of α‐synuclein aggregation elicits selective degeneration of TH‐positive neurons in 2D cultures and 3D neurospheroids, while transplanted ...

Dopamine neurons projecting to the posterior striatum form an anatomically distinct subclass

eLife, 2015
Combining rabies-virus tracing, optical clearing (CLARITY), and whole-brain light-sheet imaging, we mapped the monosynaptic inputs to midbrain dopamine neurons projecting to different targets (different parts of the striatum, cortex, amygdala, etc) in ...

Huntingtin Aggregate‐Responsive Autophagy Gene Circuit Mitigates Disease Pathology in R6/2 Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
CD98‐mediated receptor‐mediated transcytosis enables LIP‐CD98 nanocarriers to cross the blood–brain barrier and deliver ARAA to neurons. mHTT aggregates activate the 11G–NarX sensor, initiating Auto‐P and Trans‐P signaling through the VP48–NarL relay.

PLOD1 Catalytic Activity Stabilizes ENO1 by Limiting FBXW7‐dependent Degradation to Promote Glycolysis and TMZ Resistance in Glioblastoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PLOD1 interacts with ENO1 and limits its FBXW7‐dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation through a mechanism requiring PLOD1 catalytic activity. ENO1 stabilization sustains glycolysis, promoting glioblastoma cell proliferation, migration, and temozolomide resistance.

PBRM1 Deficiency in Microglia Leads to Excessive Neurogenesis and Autism‐Like Behaviors via the CCL5‐CCR1/5‐β‐catenin Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microglial PBRM1 deficiency drives excessive hippocampal neurogenesis by enhancing CCL5–CCR1/5 signaling, leading to autism‐like behaviors. A pro‐inflammatory IL1α+/TNFα+ microglial subset is identified as a key cellular contributor to this process. PBRM1 represses Ccl5 expression at the transcriptional level.

Low‐Density Lipoprotein Receptor‐Targeted Biomimetic Nanoplatform Suppresses Glioblastoma Stemness and Remodels Antitumor Immunity via Dual Metabolic Disruption

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐oriented biomimetic nanoplatform couples brain‐tumor delivery with a mechanistically matched regorafenib‐erythrodiol combination. Concurrent disruption of autophagic nutrient salvage and cholesterol homeostasis collapses bioenergetic and signaling support, suppresses glioblastoma stemness, and promotes immunogenic ...
