A novel NHERF1 mutation in human breast cancer and effects on malignant progression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Na+/H+ exchanger regulatory factor 1 (NHERF1) has been reported to interact with post-synaptic density protein/Drosophila disc large tumour suppressor/zonula occludens 1 protein (PDZ) binding proteins by its two PDZ domains.

Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles‐Based Formulations for Enhanced Oral Delivery of Peptide Drugs: A Case Study on Insulin

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work explores the tailored functionalization of mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) to improve the oral delivery of insulin, as a case study. Insulin confinement within silica mesopores increased drug solubility, and co‐formulation with succinylated β‐lactoglobulin yielded pH‐responsive tablets that limited gastric release and proteolysis, while

Wnt/beta-catenin signaling controls development of the blood–brain barrier [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is confined to the endothelium of brain capillaries and is indispensable for fluid homeostasis and neuronal function. In this study, we show that endothelial Wnt/beta-catenin (beta-cat) signaling regulates induction and ...

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

A promising protein responsible for overactive bladder in ovariectomized mice

open access: yesTaiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2017
Objective: Ovariectomy (OVX) in mice is a model mimicking a neuro-electronic proof of an overactive bladder in postmenopausal women. Overactive bladder (OAB) was recently found to be due to an altered gap junction protein in a rat model. Thus, this study

Space biomedicine‐oriented bioink and biomimetic blood‒brain barrier

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Bioinks and bioprinting play a pivotal role in the successful delivery of cell models and the fabrication of tissue models for space biomedicine research. This study investigated the effects of hypergravity and vibration on two‐dimensional adherent cells and three‐dimensional embedded cells and provided methods for storing hybrid bioink and high ...

Modulation of KATP channels by diazoxide preserves mitochondrial function and barrier integrity under staurosporine‐induced epithelial stress

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose Intestinal barrier dysfunction caused by mitochondrial stress, oxidative damage and apoptosis, are hallmarks of dysbiosis‐associated gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Staurosporine causes downstream features of dysbiosis‐induced epithelial damage.
