J147 treatment protects against traumatic brain injury by inhibiting neuronal endoplasmic reticulum stress potentially via the AMPK/SREBP-1 pathway.

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is recognized as a crucial contributor to the progression of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and represents a potential target for therapeutic intervention. This study aimed to assess the potential of J147, a novel neurotrophic compound, in alleviating ER stress by modulating related signaling pathways, thereby promoting functional recovery in TBI. To this end, adult mice underwent controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury to induce TBI, followed by oral administration of J147 one-hour post-injury, with daily dosing for 3 to 7 days.

Exploring the structural dynamics of the vesicle priming machinery.

Various cell types release neurotransmitters, hormones and many other compounds that are stored in secretory vesicles by exocytosis via the formation of a fusion pore traversing the vesicular membrane and the plasma membrane. This process of membrane fusion is mediated by the Soluble N-ethylmaleimide-Sensitive Factor Attachment Proteins REceptor (SNARE) protein complex, which in neurons and neuroendocrine cells is composed of the vesicular SNARE protein Synaptobrevin and the plasma membrane proteins Syntaxin and SNAP25 (Synaptosomal-Associated Protein of 25 kDa). Before a vesicle can undergo fusion and release of its contents, it must dock at the plasma membrane and undergo a process named 'priming', which makes it ready for release.

EMG-YOLO: road crack detection algorithm for edge computing devices.

Introduction: Road cracks significantly shorten the service life of roads. Manual detection methods are inefficient and costly. The YOLOv5 model has made some progress in road crack detection.

Cleavage of the syncytial protein of J paramyxovirus is required for its ability to promote cell-cell fusion.

Cell-cell fusion mediated by most paramyxovirus requires fusion protein (F) and attachment protein (H, HN, or G). The F protein is proteolytic cleaved to be fusogenically active. J paramyxovirus (JPV) has a unique feature in the family Paramyxoviridae: It encodes an integral membrane protein, syncytial protein (SP, formerly known as transmembrane protein, TM), which is essential in JPV-promoted cell-cell fusion (i.

EZH2 inhibition induces senescence via ERK1/2 signaling pathway in multiple myeloma.

Epigenetic modifications play an important role in cellular senescence, and enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) is a key methyltransferase involved in epigenetic remodeling in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. We have previously demonstrated that GSK126, a specific EZH2 inhibitor, exhibits anti-MM therapeutic efficacy and safety and ; however, its specific mechanism remains unclear. This study shows that GSK126 induces cellular senescence in MM, which is characterized by the accumulation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) and p21, and increased senescence-associated β galactosidase activity.

The Effects of Resveratrol and Apigenin on Jejunal Oxidative Injury in Ducks and on Immortalized Duck Intestinal Epithelial Cells Exposed to HO.

Oxidative stress increases the apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells and impairs intestinal epithelial cell renewal, which further promotes intestinal barrier dysfunction and even death. Extensive evidence supports that resveratrol and apigenin have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative properties. Here, we investigated the ability of these two compounds to alleviate diquat-induced jejunal oxidative stress and morphological injury, using the duck as a model, as well as the effects of apigenin on oxidative stress induced by HO in immortalized duck intestinal epithelial cells (IDECs).

The SSVEP-based paradigm serves as a prevalent approach in the realm of brain-computer interface (BCI). However, the processing of multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) data introduces challenges due to its non-Euclidean characteristic, necessitating methodologies that account for inter-channel topological relations. In this paper, we introduce the Dynamic Decomposition Graph Convolutional Neural Network (DDGCNN) designed for the classification of SSVEP EEG signals.

Development of high internal phase Pickering emulsions stabilized by egg yolk and carboxymethylcellulose complexes to improve β-carotene bioaccessibility for the elderly.

The work aimed to develop the multi-protein mixture of egg yolk as natural particles to stabilize high internal phase Pickering emulsions (HIPPEs) to improve the bioaccessibility of β-carotene in the elderly. The results showed that the depletion attraction drove the adsorption of egg yolk protein particles at the oil-water interface and the formation of osmotic droplet clusters due to the attachment of particle-coated droplets in the dispersed phase, leading to kinetic blocking and stable gelation of HIPPEs. Rheological measurements showed that HIPPEs had shear thinning, low shear stress, viscoelastic properties, and structural recovery properties, which facilitated easy consumption for the elderly.
