Evidence That the Protein Phosphatase Activity of PTEN Contributes to Embryonic Development and Tumor Suppression

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
Mice expressing only mutant PTEN Y138L, a protein which shows normal suppression of cellular AKT yet lacks protein phosphatase activity, die in utero, and heterozygous mice display a range of tumors. This indicates both the lipid and protein phosphatase activities of PTEN work together for normal tumor suppression and embryonic development.

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Intrinsic pH chemosensitivity of acutely dissociated medullary serotonergic and retrotrapezoid neurones

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Central respiratory chemoreceptors (CRCs) are critical for maintaining normal systemic levels of pH and PCO2. A CRC must respond to pH via intrinsic mechanisms. Here we quantified intrinsic chemosensitivity of medullary 5‐HT neurones and retrotrapezoid nucleus (RTN) neurones using acute dissociation.

Electrophysiological properties of the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus motoneurones controlling airway mucus secretion in rats

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acidosis depolarises parasympathetic respiratory motoneurones in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV) and increases their firing frequency by reducing TWIK‐2 channel conductance. Acidosis also activates astrocytes, which further enhance neuronal excitability through NMDA receptor‐dependent glutamatergic signalling.

Bioorthogonal Chemistry in Neurobiology: From Imaging to Proteomics

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
This review highlights emerging strategies for labeling neuronal proteins, enabling visualization and quantitative analysis of their expression, localization, and dynamics. By combining genetic code expansion (GCE), metabolic labeling, and click chemistry‐based labeling, these approaches provide powerful routes to study proteins in specific cells and ...

The protein tyrosine kinases EpsB and PtkA differentially affect biofilm formation in Bacillus subtilis [PDF]

, 2014
The Gram-positive soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis is able to choose between motile and sessile lifestyles. The sessile way of life, also referred to as biofilm, depends on the formation of an extracellular polysaccharide matrix and some extracellular ...

Multifaceted Suppression of Staphylococcal Virulence Phenotypes: In Vitro Study of a Cellular Status With Reduced Agr Activity and Impaired Biofilm

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2026.
Finding of in vitro S. aureus status with reduced Agr activity and impaired biofilm. ABSTRACT Anti‐quorum sensing (QS) therapy has been focused on to reduce the virulence of pathogenic bacteria. However, there is a risk that suppression of the staphylococcal QS Agr system might promote biofilm formation.

Targeted genetic manipulations of neuronal subtypes using promoter-specific combinatorial AAVs for use in wild-type animals

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
Techniques to genetically manipulate the activity of defined neuronal subpopulations have been useful in elucidating function, however applicability to translational research beyond transgenic mice is limited. Subtype targeted transgene expression can be

Mast Cells in Host Defense Against Cutaneous Staphylococcus aureus Infection

Immunology &Cell Biology, Volume 104, Issue 9, Page 867-880, October 2026.
Impact of S. aureus epicutaneous sensitization models on mast cell function in vivo. D. farinae and Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) activate Trpv1+ Tac1+ nociceptors to trigger the release of substance P (SP), which promotes mast cell degranulation through Mrgprb2. S.
