Dvl, an important component of the Wnt signalling pathway, is thought to be involved in synaptogenesis. In this study, we investigated whether Dvl regulates neurotransmitter release. Knockdown of Dvl in PC12 cells suppressed K(+)-induced dopamine release, and this phenotype was restored by expression of Dvl-1. We identified synaptotagmin (Syt) I, which is involved in neurotransmitter release, as a Dvl-binding protein. Dvl directly bound to the C2B domain of Syt I. Dvl colocalized with Syt I at the tip of neurites of differentiated PC12 cells and of neurons in the rat dorsal root ganglion. Dvl and Syt I was located in large dense-core vesicles, which contain dopamine. In addition, endocytosis of vesicles containing Syt I was suppressed in Dvl knockdown PC12 cells. Dvl inhibited the binding of Syt I to the complex consisting of syntaxin-1A and SNAP-25. Furthermore, micro2-adaptin of AP-2, which is known to play a role in endocytosis, formed a complex with Dvl and Syt I. Taken together, these results suggest that Dvl is involved in endo- and exocytotic processes through the binding to Syt I.

An innovative integrated three-dimensional (3D) bioprinted gastric microtissue electrochemical biosensor was developed in this study for the detection of allergen ovalbumin (OVA). In this system, OVA triggers the release of histamine from gastric microtissue, which then undergoes a redox reaction on the electrode surface, leading to an increase in the peak current. Gelatin methacrylate hydrogel serves as a scaffold for the 3D culture of RBL-2H3 and PC-12 cells for partially restoring allergic reactions in the human body in vitro.

Galantamine plays a crucial role in the management of brain disorders. In this study, a series of galantamine analogues were designed, synthesized and evaluated as potential therapeutic agents for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Compound C2, a dual inhibitor of cholinesterase, was obtained by introducing a benzylpyridine ring to the hydroxyl group of galantamine.

Unlabelled: Ischemic stroke ranks as the second leading cause of global mortality and disability. Although reperfusion is crucial for salvaging brain tissue, it carries the risk of secondary injuries, such as ferroptosis. Gastrodin, a neuroprotective compound found in Chinese herbal medicine, may regulate this process.

Objective: This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which nanovesicles (NVs) transport curcumin(CUR) across the blood-brain barrier to treat hypothalamic neural damage induced by heat stroke by regulating the expression of poly(c)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2).
Methods: Initially, NVs were prepared from macrophages using a continuous extrusion method. Subsequently, CUR was loaded into NVs using sonication, yielding engineered cell membrane Nanovesicles loaded with curcumin (NVs-CUR), which were characterized and subjected to in vitro and in vivo tracking analysis.
