In this study, we analyzed the CYP3A inhibitory components of star fruit Averrhoa carambola L., using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The stereoisomer of procyanidin B1 and B2 and/or the trimer consisting of catechin and/or epicatechin were suggested to be potent inhibitory components.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Vanderbilt Genetics Institute, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.

Background: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) leveraging endophenotypes beyond case/control diagnosis, such as brain amyloid β pathology, have shown promise in identifying novel variants and understanding their potential functional impact. In this study, we leverage two brain amyloid β pathology measurement modalities, PET imaging and neuropathology, to address sample size limitations and to discover novel genetic drivers of disease.

Method: We conducted a meta-analysis on an amyloid PET imaging GWAS (N = 7,036, 35% amyloid positive, 53.

Diversity in Notch ligand-receptor signaling interactions.

Elife

January 2025

Division of Biology and Biological Engineering, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, United States.

The Notch signaling pathway uses families of ligands and receptors to transmit signals to nearby cells. These components are expressed in diverse combinations in different cell types, interact in a many-to-many fashion, both within the same cell (in cis) and between cells (in trans), and their interactions are modulated by Fringe glycosyltransferases. A fundamental question is how the strength of Notch signaling depends on which pathway components are expressed, at what levels, and in which cells.

Background: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a validated risk locus for developing late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). ACE1 controls blood pressure through the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), but it is also present and acts locally in the brain. Hypertension is associated with an increased risk for developing AD, and people taking select RAS-targeting therapeutics have reduced incidence of AD.

Introduction: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), a highly heterogeneous malignancy is often associated with unfavorable prognosis. Due to its unique anatomical position and the absence of effective early inspection methods, surgical intervention alone is frequently inadequate for achieving complete remission. Therefore, the identification of reliable biomarker is crucial to enhance the accuracy of screening and treatment strategies for HNSCC.
