Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how plectin (PLEC), a cytolinker, affects aquaporin 4 (AQP4) expression and astrocyte behavior in glioblastoma (GBM)
- Researchers utilized various methods, including immunohistochemistry and cell line experiments, to analyze the relationship between plectin and AQP4 in GBM samples
- Findings revealed that plectin deficiency decreased AQP4 aggregation size and altered the cytoskeleton's organization, suggesting plectin's significant role in GBM cell migration and volume regulation.
Several studies indicate the influence of olanzapine on bone metabolism; however, the results are contradictory. We evaluated the effects of olanzapine on the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, physiological alveolar bone turnover, and alveolar bone modeling due to an applied orthodontic force. Adult male rats (n=48) were treated with either olanzapine or a vehicle for 21 days; then 8 rats from each group were sacrificed and the rest were divided into 4 groups: control, appliance-only, olanzapine-only, and olanzapine-appliance.

As sequencing is becoming cheaper, faster and more accurate, it is rapidly being incorporated into clinical laboratories. In 2003, the completion of the first human genome opened the door to personalized medicine.
