Retinoic Acid Signalling Regulates Zebrafish Tooth Germ Repair Following Injury
Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.Retinoic acid signalling may regulate the repair processes in a tooth germ injury model using Tg(scpp5:Dendra2‐NTR) zebrafish and the nitroreductase (NTR)/metronidazole (MTZ) system. ABSTRACT Although the role of retinoic acid (RA) signalling in odontogenesis is well established, its involvement in the repair of injured tooth germs remains unclear.

Protein mis-folding and human disease
, 2010 Serum Amyloid P Component (SAP), a putative molecular chaperone, is a homopentamericplasma protein of 25kDa subunits. It binds to the amyloid fibrils ofmisfolded proteins, which cause amyloidosis in humans. SAP not only stabilizesamyloid fibrils but also

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Cardiac amyloidosis is commonly associated with cardiac conduction disease. We sought to determine the prevalence of advanced conduction disease requiring a pacemaker in patients with known cardiac amyloidosis to evaluate current screening practices among patients receiving pacemakers.

Cryptogenic ischemic stroke in cardiac transthyretin amyloidosis and sinus rhythm: a case report
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineCardiac amyloidosis is a group of diseases characterized by the deposition of amyloid fibers in cardiac tissue. Two forms are mainly reported: light chain (AL) and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis.

The design of a potent amyloid-β protein (Aβ) inhibitor plays a pivotal role in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite endogenous transthyretin (TTR) being recognized as an Aβ inhibitor, the weak inhibitory and blood brain ...

Transthyretin gene expression in choroid plexus first evolved in reptiles
, 1993 The presence of transthyretin in mammals and birds, but not amphibia, suggested that transthyretin expression first appeared in stem reptiles. Therefore, transthyretin synthesis was studied in a lizard.

Utilization and Prognosis of Cardiac Device Implantation in AL Versus ATTR Amyloidosis
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction Cardiac amyloidosis can cause congestive heart failure, arrhythmias, and heart blocks, which frequently require cardiac device implantation (CDI). However, the differences between light chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis CDI requirements are unknown. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted using the

Arquivos de Neuro-PsiquiatriaBackground Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv) is an inherited, progressive, and fatal disease still largely underdiagnosed. Mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene cause the TTR protein to destabilize, misfold, aggregate, and ...

In vitro muscle contraction: A technical review on electrical pulse stimulation in C2C12 cells
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Electrical pulse stimulation (EPS) of skeletal muscle cells is increasingly used to model exercise In vitro. The murine C2C12 myotube system has become a common platform for such studies, yet wide variability in EPS protocols hampers reproducibility and cross‐study comparisons.
