Apolipoprotein E4, the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, is shown to internalize into neurons and intersect with amyloid-β in endosomes-autophagosomes of neurites and modulate intraneuronal amyloid-β-42.

Objective: Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is abundantly expressed in adipocytes and downregulated in adipose tissue from individuals with obesity or insulin resistance. The main aims of this work were to investigate the involvement of SIKs in the regulation of glucose uptake in primary mature human adipocytes and to identify mechanisms underlying this regulation.

Methods: Primary mature adipocytes were isolated from human, rat, or mouse adipose tissue and treated with pan-SIK inhibitors.

Porous tissue-engineered 3D-printed scaffolds are a compelling alternative to autografts for the treatment of large periorbital bone defects. Matching the defect-specific geometry has long been considered an optimal strategy to restore pre-injury anatomy. However, studies in large animal models have revealed that biomaterial-induced bone formation largely occurs around the scaffold periphery.

Apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is the most important genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Among the earliest changes in AD is endosomal enlargement in neurons, which was reported as enhanced in ApoE4 carriers. ApoE is thought to be internalized into endosomes of neurons, whereas β-amyloid (Aβ) accumulates within neuronal endosomes early in AD.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 presents multi-organ complications with complex pathophysiology, necessitating improved understanding to better predict disease progression and enhance treatment outcomes.
  • Early in the pandemic, researchers faced challenges due to limited patient data and conflicting information, prompting the development of causal models using Bayesian networks to analyze the disease's mechanisms.
  • The study involved extensive collaboration with medical experts to create structured causal maps, resulting in two key models that outline the progression from initial respiratory infection to potential complications.
