Exercise attenuates neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease rat model by regulating the level of adenosine 2A receptor

85 views | Dec 23 2023

Exercise appears to mitigate Parkinson's disease symptoms in rats by reducing neurodegeneration through a-synuclein aggregation reduction and adenosine 2A receptor modulation, although the co-administration of an adenosine A2A receptor agonist reverses these beneficial effects.

Targeting GSTP1 as Therapeutic Strategy against Lung Adenocarcinoma Stemness and Resistance to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors

33 views | Nov 07 2023

The study reveals that upregulation of Glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) supports cancer stem cells, tumor self-renewal, metastasis, and resistance to targeted therapies, making it a promising therapeutic target for long-term control of LUAD. [Read the Full Post]

Inhibition of the MAPK/c-Jun-EGR1 Pathway Decreases Photoreceptor Cell Death in the rd1 Mouse Model for Inherited Retinal Degeneration

44 views | Aug 06 2023

This study demonstrated that early growth response-1 (EGR1) promotes photoreceptor cell death in a mouse model of retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and inhibiting the MAPK/c-Jun pathway reduces EGR1 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP1) expression, offering a potential therapeutic avenue for RP.

Anisomycin inhibits Coxsackievirus B replication by promoting the lysosomal degradation of eEF1A1

80 views | Jun 07 2023

Anisomycin has been found to inhibit CVB type 3 infection and reduce viral replication by promoting lysosomal degradation of eEF1A1, which makes it a potential antiviral candidate for the treatment of CVB infection. [Read the Full Post]

Effect of Pre-Meal Metformin With or Without an Acute Exercise Bout on Postprandial Lipemic and Glycemic Responses in Metabolic Syndrome Patients: A Randomized, Open Label, Crossover Study

141 views | Mar 12 2023

Pre-meal metformin administration 30 minutes prior to the meal has favorable effects on postprandial total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels compared to its administration with the meal, and the addition of one exercise bout only improves postprandial glycemia and insulinemia in metabolic syndrome patients.

Delay of endothelial cell senescence protects cerebral barrier against age-related dysfunction: role of senolytics and senomorphics

53 views | Sep 16 2022

Jingyuan Ya et al. found that effectively mitigate accumulation of senescent endothelial cells in cerebrovasculature might prevent age-related BBB dysfunction and might be of prophylactic or therapeutic value to extend lifelong health and wellbeing. [Read the Full Post]

Autophagic sequestration of SQSTM1 disrupts the aggresome formation of ubiquitinated proteins during proteasome inhibition

51 views | Sep 15 2022

Chenliang Zhang et al. demonstrated that in the early stage of proteasome inhibition, the maturation of the autophagosome was suppressed, which facilitated aggresome formation of misfolded proteins. [Read the Full Post]
