Aims: Sacubitril/valsartan (Sac/Val) is used for treatment of heart failure. The effect of Sac/Val on regional dysfunction following myocardial infarction (MI) remains uncertain. This study aimed at understanding the effects of Sac/Val on regional function after MI.

Unfolded protein response (UPR) is a central stress response pathway that is hijacked by tumor cells for their survival. Here, we find that IRE1α signaling, one of the canonical UPR arms, is increased in prostate cancer (PCa) patient tumors. Genetic or small molecule inhibition of IRE1α in syngeneic mouse PCa models and an orthotopic model decreases tumor growth.

Large trans-sarcolemmal ionic shifts occur with fatiguing exercise or stimulation of isolated muscles. However, it is unknown how resting membrane potential (E) and intracellular sodium concentration ([Na]) change with repeated contractions in living mammals. We investigated (i) whether [Na] (peak, kinetics) can reveal changes of Na-K pump activity during brief or fatiguing stimulation and (ii) how resting E and [Na] change during fatigue and recovery of rat soleus muscle in situ.

Adapter proteins are flexible and dynamic modulators of cellular signalling that are important for immune cell function. One of these, the T-cell-specific adapter protein (TSAd), interacts with the non-receptor tyrosine kinases Src and Lck of the Src family kinases (SFKs) and Itk of the Tec family kinases (TFKs). Three tyrosine residues in the TSAd C-terminus are phosphorylated by Lck and serve as docking sites for the Src homology 2 (SH2) domains of Src and Lck.
