Soluble Neuropilin-1 Response to Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes: Increased Risk or Protection in SARS-CoV-2 Infection? by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…The Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is activated in type 2 diabetes (T2D); therefore, the aim of this study was to determine if hypoglycaemia-induced stress in T2D would potentiate serum NRP1(sNRP1) levels, reflecting an increased risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection.…”

Decreased methylglyoxal-mediated protein glycation in the healthy aging mouse model of ectopic expression of UCP1 in skeletal muscle by Jinit, Masania

“…We found both young and aged HSA-mUCP1 mice had decreased advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) formed from MG, lysine-derived Nε(1-carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL) and arginine-derived hydroimidazolone, MG-H1, whereas protein glycation by glucose forming Nε-fructosyl-lysine (FL) was increased ca. 2-fold, compared to wildtype controls. …”

Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) activates WNT/β‐catenin signalling in breast cancer cells via epigenetic silencing of DKK1 and DKK3 by Harshita Shailesh (14779408)

“…However, the role of PRMT5 in breast cancer remains underexplored. In this study, we show that PRMT5 is overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines, and that it promotes WNT/β-CATENIN proliferative signalling through epigenetic silencing of pathway antagonists, <i>DKK1</i> and <i>DKK3</i>, leading to enhanced expression of <i>c-MYC</i>, <i>CYCLIN D1</i> and <i>SURVIVIN</i>. …”

Emerging Glycation-Based Therapeutics—Glyoxalase 1 Inducers and Glyoxalase 1 Inhibitors by Naila Rabbani (291722)

C1 neurons excite locus coeruleus and A5 noradrenergic neurons along with sympathetic outflow in rats by Abbott, S. B.

“…Stimulation of ChR2-expressing neurons at 20 Hz produced modest increasesin LC and A5 neuronal discharge. In additional rats, the retrotrap ezoid nucleus region wasdestroyed with substance P–saporin prior to lentivirus injection into the rostral ventrolateralmedulla, increasing the propor tion of C1 ChR2-expressing neurons (83%). …”
