Human Cytomegalovirus Protein UL38 Inhibits Host Cell Stress Responses by Antagonizing the Tuberous Sclerosis Protein Complex

open access: yes, 2008
SummaryHuman cytomegalovirus proteins alter host cells to favor virus replication. These viral proteins include pUL38, which prevents apoptosis. To characterize the mode of action of pUL38, we modified the viral genome to encode an epitope-tagged pUL38 ...

The effect of a bout of resistance exercise on skeletal muscle protein metabolism after severe fasting

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
Resistance exercise (RE) activates the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway and increases muscle protein synthesis. Severe fasting induces 5′ adenosine monophosphate‐activated protein kinase (AMPK), which attenuates mTORC1

GSK-3β at the Crossroads in Regulating Protein Synthesis and Lipid Deposition in Zebrafish

open access: yesCells, 2019
In this study, the mechanism by which GSK-3β regulates protein synthesis and lipid deposition was investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio). The vector of pEGFP-N1-GSK-3β was constructed and injected into the muscle of zebrafish.

Precision therapies for genetic epilepsies in 2025: Promises and pitfalls

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract By targeting the underlying etiology, precision therapies offer an exciting paradigm shift to improve the stagnant outcomes of drug‐resistant epilepsies, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies. Unlike conventional antiseizure medications (ASMs) which only treat the symptoms (seizures) but have no effect on the underlying ...

mTORC2 controls neuron size and Purkinje cell morphology independent of mTORC1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Prenatal brain development is mainly accomplished by extensive proliferation of neuronal precursor cells whereas postnatal brain growth in mammals is mainly mediated by the growth of those post-mitotic nerve cells.

Prenatal betamethasone–postnatal N‐methyl‐D‐aspartic acid model of spasms: Update on mechanisms and treatments

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Infantile epilepsy spasms syndrome (IESS), formerly known as infantile spasms or West Syndrome, is a severe epilepsy syndrome affecting about 3 in 10,000 newborns in the United States. Characterized by clusters of epileptic spasms, interictal hypsarrhythmia, and developmental delays, IESS has diverse causes, including structural‐metabolic ...

Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 gene product interacts with human SMAD proteins. A molecular link of two tumor suppressor pathways.

open access: yesThe Journal of biological chemistry, 2004
Tuberin (TSC2) is a tumor suppressor gene. At the cellular level, tuberin is required as a critical regulator of cell growth, neuronal differentiation, and tumor suppression. Here we report a critical role for tuberin in late stage myeloid cell differentiation.

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Early dietary restriction in rats alters skeletal muscle tuberous sclerosis complex, ribosomal s6 and mitogen-activated protein kinase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Intrauterine growth restriction is linked to decreased lean body mass and insulin resistance. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates muscle mass and glucose metabolism; however, little is known about maternal dietary restriction and skeletal ...

Nail Toxicities Associated With Anticancer Therapies in Children

open access: yesJEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nail toxicities are a frequent yet often underrecognized component of dermatologic adverse events in children receiving anticancer therapies. Both conventional cytotoxic chemotherapy and newer targeted agents can affect the nail matrix, nail bed and periungual tissues, producing a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations that range from ...
