SDPR–STK38 axis controls the proliferation–differentiation balance in alveolar type II cells

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
The present study identifies SDPR as a pivotal regulator orchestrating the balance between proliferation and differentiation in alveolar type II (AT2) cells. In SDPR+/+ cells, SDPR binds to and inhibits STK38 activity, thereby sustaining GSK‐3β signaling functionality to promote cyclin D1 degradation and maintain cell cycle homeostasis.

Modification and Application of a Commercial Whole-body Plethysmograph to Monitor Respiratory Abnormalities in Neonatal Mice

Bio-Protocol, 2017
Proper breathing is essential for mammals to acquire oxygen after birth and requires coordinated actions among several tissues, including diaphragm, intercostal muscles, trachea, bronchi, lung and respiration-regulating neurons located in the medulla ...

Possible therapeutic repositioning of valproic acid: From epileptic seizures to acute kidney injury

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Valproic acid, an anticonvulsant, may be repositioned to prevent acute kidney injury due to ischemia followed by reperfusion. It preserves renal functions, electrolyte homeostasis and active sodium transport in kidney tubules, and blocks the onset of hypertension.

Effect of epileptogenesis on hypercapnic cardioventilatory response in kainic acid rats

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cardioventilatory failure is the leading mechanism proposed to underlie sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurs predominantly at night in patients with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Interictal hypercapnic cardioventilatory responses are suggested to be involved, as they are ablated in chronically epileptic ...

Glucagon‐Like Peptide‐1 Receptor Agonist‐Based Agents and Body Composition: Filling More Gaps

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The last 2 decades have seen historic advances in the treatment of obesity. We are entering an era of defining obesity not by weight‐based outcomes but by changes in body composition. Glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) are forming the platform for obesity treatments based on their high level of efficacy. Body composition can

A 4D geometric morphometrics workflow to quantify complex biological motion

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Quantifying biological motion is fundamentally tied to quantifying the biological structures that produce that motion. Yet, this dependence makes it essential to decouple motion from static morphology to enable general, comparable analyses across individuals and conditions. In this work, we present a methodological pipeline to study biological

Adoptive transfer of allergen-expressing B cells prevents IgE-mediated allergy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionProphylactic strategies to prevent the development of allergies by establishing tolerance remain an unmet medical need. We previously reported that the transfer of autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) expressing the major timothy grass ...
