Revealing the tumor suppressive sequence within KL1 domain of the hormone Klotho.

Klotho, a 1012 amino acid transmembrane protein, is a potent tumor suppressor in different cancer types. Klotho is composed of two internal repeats KL1 and KL2, and the tumor suppressor activity is primarily attributed to the KL1 domain. Despite its significant role in regulating various cancer-related pathways, the precise mechanism underlying its tumor suppressor activity remains unresolved.

Electrolyte Imbalance in Anti-LGI1 Encephalitis: It Is Not All in Your Head.

Background And Objectives: Antileucine-rich glioma-inactivated 1 (anti-LGI1) autoimmune encephalitis was first described in 2010 and is today the most common type of limbic encephalitis. During the course of the disease, 60%-88% of the patients develop hyponatremia. The etiology of the sodium disorder is unclear, often presumed to be the result of the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
