“…This study presents estimates of PCa prevalence, incidence, death, years-of-life-lost (YLLs), years-lived-with-disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted-life-years (DALYs), and the burden attributable to smoking during 1990-2019 in North Africa and Middle East using data of Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) Study 2019.…”

Investigating the Role of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2 (ACSS2) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expression in Clinical Samples and Insights from In Vitro Models by Mezher, Nawal

“…ACSS2 inhibition significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-1β, and TNF-α, and attenuated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of p65 and ERK/MEK. These findings highlight a pro-inflammatory role for ACSS2 in IBD and identify it as a potential therapeutic target, warranting further validation in advanced models, including patient-derived organoids and in vivo systems.…”

α-ketoglutarate (αKG) acts as a protective factor against chronic stress and has antidepressant properties by modulating BDNF levels in the brain by Eid, Fady

“…In the hippocampus, aKG increases BDNF levels possibly through the PGC1a-BDNF pathway. In the NAc, aKG decreases BDNF levels possibly through the FNDC5-BDNF pathway.…”

A BRET-based Mpro biosensor containing a nanobody and tandem cleavage sites shows an increased cleavage rate by Geethakumari, Anupriya M

“…Gaussian accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations of the predicted alpha-helical synthetic Mpro cleavage sequences revealed a dynamic nature of the cleavage sequences, which is critical for their efficient cleavage, and a relatively short end-to-end distances, which is required for high BRET. Live cell assays revealed a cleavage sequence length-dependent resonance energy transfer, except for the 12× -syn cleavage site, and an increased rate of cleavage and a decreased pharmacological inhibitor efficacy for the Mpro biosensor containing 2× cleavage sequences. …”
