Molecular Mechanism of Prolactin-Releasing Peptide Recognition and Signaling via its G Protein-Coupled Receptor

Analysis of the Molecular Recognition and Signal Transduction Mechanism of PRRP and PRRPR Research Background Neuropeptides, as the most abundant signaling molecules in the nervous system, have over 100 identified types and play critical roles in processes like metabolism, pain sensation, and reproduction. Among them, RF-amide neuropeptides are cha...

Targeting a Chemo-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuit Reveals Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Pancreatic Cancer

Targeting Chemotherapy-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuitry for Therapeutic Potential in Pancreatic Cancer Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer, with a five-year survival rate that remains extremely low. Over 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced, unresectable stage, where existin...

Bacterial Toxins Induce Non-Canonical Migracytosis to Aggravate Acute Inflammation

Report on the Study of Bacterial Toxins Inducing Non-Canonical Migracytosis and Aggravating Acute Inflammation Background and Research Objectives In recent years, the discovery of migrasomes, a new type of membrane structure, has gained significant attention in the scientific community for its role in cell migration and various biological functions...

Selective Advantage of Mutant Stem Cells in Human Clonal Hematopoiesis Associated with Attenuated Response to Inflammation and Aging

Selective Advantage of Clonal Hematopoietic Mutant Stem Cells in Aging and Inflammatory Responses Background and Research Motivation Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) is an aging-related phenomenon in the hematopoietic system, where hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) acquire specific somatic mutations and undergo expansion, causing a particular mutated cell l...

Increased Cholesterol Synthesis Drives Neurotoxicity in Patient Stem Cell-Derived Model of Multiple Sclerosis

Lipid Metabolism Mechanisms in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A New Study on Multiple Sclerosis Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a common inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS). As the disease progresses, patients gradually experience neurological damage and disability. Although there have been advances in the trea...
