Diabetes is associated with the dysfunction of glucagon-producing pancreatic islet α-cells, although the underlying mechanisms regulating glucagon secretion and α-cell dysfunction remain unclear. While insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells has long been known to be partly controlled by intracellular phospholipid signaling, very little is known about the role of phospholipids in glucagon secretion. Here we show that TMEM55A, a lipid phosphatase that dephosphorylates phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) to phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PI5P), regulates α-cell exocytosis and glucagon secretion.

Background: Spinal manipulation (MAN) and mobilization (MOB) are biomechanically different yet both elicit pain reduction and increased range of motion. Previous investigations have focused on quantifying kinetics (e.g.

Purpose: To illustrate a technique for the removal of subretinal gas via pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with air-fluid exchange and simultaneous manipulation with scleral depression.
Methods: PPV to remove subretinal gas causing persistent macula-off retinal detachment was performed in one eye, and the results were evaluated in this case report. Ports were carefully placed to avoid puncturing the retina, which was significantly displaced anteriorly past the ora serrata due to the buoyancy of the subretinal gas with the patient in a supine position.

Two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic materials are subjects of intense research owing to their intriguing physicochemical properties, which hold great potential for fundamental research and spintronic applications. Specifically, 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic materials retain both structural integrity and chemical stability even at the monolayer level. Moreover, due to their atomic thickness, these materials can be easily manipulated by stacking them with other 2D vdW ferroic and nonferroic materials, enabling precise control over their physical properties and expanding their functional applications.

Reprogramming tryptophan metabolism (TRP) may be able to overcome immunosuppression and restore the immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) response in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) resistant to ICB therapy because TRP metabolism is involved in the kynurenine/indole and serotonin pathways of tryptophan metabolism. Herein, employing amitriptyline (AMI), an antagonist of TLR4 and serotonin transporter (SERT), we revealed that AMI remodels the immunological landscape of EOC. In particular, AMI lowered the expression of IDO1, IL-4I1, and PD-L1, the quantity of KYN and indoles, and the level of immunosuppressive immune cells MDSC, Tregs, and CD8CD39+/PD-1+ T cell.
