Cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF) is an unconventional neurotrophic factor that is a disease-modifying drug candidate for Parkinson's disease. CDNF has pleiotropic protective effects on stressed cells, but its mechanism of action remains incompletely understood. Here, we use state-of-the-art advanced structural techniques to resolve the structural basis of CDNF interaction with GRP78, the master regulator of the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway.

Durable response to chimeric antigen receptor T (CART) cell therapy remains limited in part due to CART cell exhaustion. Here, we investigate the regulation of CART cell exhaustion with three independent approaches including: a genome-wide CRISPR knockout screen using an in vitro model for exhaustion, RNA and ATAC sequencing on baseline and exhausted CART cells, and RNA and ATAC sequencing on pre-infusion CART cell products from responders and non-responders in the ZUMA-1 clinical trial. Each of these approaches identify interleukin (IL)-4 as a regulator of CART cell dysfunction.

We reported that parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment could reduce vertebral endplate sclerosis and improve pain behaviors in aging, SM/J and young lumbar spine instability (LSI) mice. Aberrant innervation noted in the vertebral body and endplate during spinal degeneration was reduced with PTH treatment in aging and LSI mice as quantified by PGP9.

Acute ingestion of exogenous ketone supplements in the form of a (R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate (R-BD R-βHB) ketone monoester (KME) can attenuate declines in oxygen availability during hypoxic exposure and might impact cognitive performance at rest and in response to moderate-intensity exercise. In a single-blind randomized crossover design, 16 males performed assessments of cognitive performance before and during hypoxic exposure with moderate exercise [2 × 20 min weighted ruck (∼22 kg) at 3.2 km/h at 10% incline] in a normobaric altitude chamber (4572 m, 11.
