Light without fright: a synthetic route to fluorescent primary phosphanes (RPH(2)) that are resistant to air oxidation both in the solid state and in chloroform solution is described. These versatile precursors undergo hydrophosphination to give tripodal ligands and subsequently fluorescent transition-metal complexes.

Impact of Glucocorticoid-Associated Stress-Like Conditions on Aquaporin-4 in Cultured Astrocytes and Its Modulation by Adenosine A Receptors.

Astrocytes participate in brain clearance of extracellular proteins and metabolites, through the activity of the water channel aquaporin-4 (AQP4), which can be deregulated in stress-related disorders, impairing brain waste clearance. The present study investigates the impact of dexamethasone (Dexa), a synthetic glucocorticoid used as a simplified in vitro stress model, on astrocytic AQP4 and its modulation by adenosine A receptors (AR), which blockade reverses conditions related with maladaptive stress, such as anxiety and depression. The clearance of proteins in primary astrocytic cultures, assessed using 5 kDa FITC-dextran and 45 kDa TRITC-dextran uptake, was decreased by a 24 h exposure to 100 nM Dexa.

Background: Fluorescence molecular imaging, a potent and non-invasive technique, has become indispensable in medicine for visualizing molecular processes. In surgical oncology, it aids treatment by allowing visualization of tumor cells during fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS). Targeting the urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR), overexpressed during tissue remodeling and inflammation, holds promise for advancing FGS by specifically highlighting tumors.

Objective: Somatic variants causing epilepsy are challenging to detect, as they are only present in a subset of brain cells (e.g., mosaic), resulting in low variant allele frequencies.

Background: Imbalanced Fe levels can lead to oxidative stress and initiate ferroptosis, an Fe-dependent cell death that involves lipid peroxidation and can lead to neuron cell loss in neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD). While the Fe/Fe ratio has been identified as the primary determining factor for lipid peroxidation, the role of Fe redox equilibrium and dynamic in AD is not well understood, due to limited tools for visualizing Fe and Fe simultaneously. To overcome this limitation, we recently reported DNAzyme-based sensors for simultaneous imaging of Fe and Fe.

Alzheimers Dement

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive, irreversible neurodegeneration, leading to memory loss and cognitive decline. In mouse models of AD, global decreases in cerebral blood flow (CBF) are brought on by the plugging of capillaries by arrested neutrophils, and the administration of the neutrophil-specific antibody against Ly6G (anti-Ly6G) reduces these capillary stalls in minutes and improves cognitive function within hours. This suggests that at least some aspects of neural activity impairment are reversible, but the mechanism of this recovery - and what specific neural activity is normalized - is not yet known.
