Syntaxin 4-enhanced plasma membrane repair is independent of dysferlin in skeletal muscle

Syntaxin 4-Enhanced Plasma Membrane Repair is Independent of Dysferlin in Skeletal Muscle Background Introduction Plasma membrane repair (PMR) is a crucial process for cells to maintain membrane integrity, preventing cell death, especially in vital organs such as skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, a sarcolemmal calcium-binding protein, has been shown to p...

p300 maintains primordial follicle activation by repressing VEGFA transcription

Mechanism Study of p300 Maintaining Primordial Follicle Activation by Inhibiting VEGFA Transcription Academic Background In the female reproductive system, primordial follicles (PFs) are the earliest formed follicles in the ovary, remaining dormant and awaiting activation to enter the growth phase. The activation of primordial follicles is a key fa...

Gut-Kidney Interaction Reinforces Dapagliflozin-Mediated Alleviation in Diabetic Nephropathy

Mechanism Study of Dapagliflozin Improving Diabetic Nephropathy via the Gut-Kidney Axis Academic Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes, with approximately 40% of individuals with type 1 or type 2 diabetes developing DN in the advanced stages of the disease. Although clinical managemen...

Identification of Polycystin 2 Missense Mutants Targeted for Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation

Identification of Polycystin 2 Missense Mutants Targeted for Endoplasmic Reticulum-Associated Degradation Academic Background Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a common genetic disorder that ultimately leads to end-stage renal disease. ADPKD primarily arises from mutations in the PKD1 and PKD2 genes, which encode Polycystin 1 ...
