Are Advanced Oxidation Protein Products (AOPPs) Levels Altered in Neuropsychiatric Disorders? An Integrative Review.

Neuropsychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), and schizophrenia (SZ) are considered a public health problem since it interferes in personal relationships and at work. The pathophysiological mechanisms of these mental disorders are still not completely understood. The variety and heterogeneity of symptoms, as well as the absence of biomarkers, make the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of these disorders difficult.

Cutting Edge: Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 Subunit Cbx4 Positively Regulates Effector Responses in CD8 T Cells.

CTL differentiation is controlled by the crosstalk of various transcription factors and epigenetic modulators. Uncovering this process is fundamental to improving immunotherapy and designing novel therapeutic approaches. In this study, we show that polycomb repressive complex 1 subunit chromobox (Cbx)4 favors effector CTL differentiation in a murine model.

Aquatic training improves HbA1c, blood pressure and functional outcomes of patients with type 2 diabetes: A systematic review with meta-analysis.

Aim: This study aimed to summarize the effects of aquatic training on the health outcomes of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.

Methods: This is a systematic review with meta-analysis that followed the PRISMA recommendations. Searches were performed in four databases in April 2021.

Epigenetic regulation of T cells by Polycomb group proteins.

T cells are critical for pathogen elimination, tumor surveillance, and immunoregulation. The development, activation, and differentiation of CD8 and CD4 T lymphocytes are a set of complex and dynamically regulated events that require epigenetic control. The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are a family of diverse and evolutionarily conserved epigenetic modulators fundamentally involved in several mechanisms of gene regulation.

A chloride channel blocker prevents the suppression by inorganic phosphate of the cytosolic calcium signals that control muscle contraction.

Key Points: Accumulation of inorganic phosphate (P ) may contribute to muscle fatigue by precipitating calcium salts inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Neither direct demonstration of this process nor definition of the entry pathway of P into SR are fully established.  We showed that P promoted Ca release at concentrations below 10 mm and decreased it at higher concentrations.
