Glucose Transporter 1 Deficiency Impairs Glucose Metabolism and Barrier Induction in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Astrocytes.

J Cell Physiol

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Center for Blood-Brain Barrier Research, Jerry H. Hodge School of Pharmacy, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Amarillo, Texas, USA.

Glucose is a major source of energy for the brain. At the blood-brain barrier (BBB), glucose uptake is facilitated by glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1). GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome (GLUT1DS), a haploinsufficiency affecting SLC2A1, reduces glucose brain uptake.

Background: There is still no conclusive understanding of whether the glucokinase regulator (GCKR) gene rs780094 and rs1260326 polymorphisms predispose to gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effect of the GCKR polymorphisms on GDM susceptibility.

Methods: Seven literature databases were searched (from inception to February 17, 2024) to locate relevant studies included in further meta-analysis.

Pollen Morphology of Gentiana L. (Gentianaceae) in Türkiye.

Microsc Res Tech

January 2025

Faculty of Science, Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Pamukkale University, Denizli, Türkiye.

This study investigates the pollen morphology of 13 taxa of Turkish Gentiana using a statistical approach, contributing to their taxonomy. The aim is to elucidate the palynological characteristics of the taxa and to reveal their contributions to the systematic understanding of the genus Gentiana. The pollen grains are monad, radially symmetrical, isopolar, and tricolporate.

Background: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is an uncommonly recognised condition typified by gynaecomastia, small testes and aspermatogenesis. It is caused by a supernumerary X chromosome, resulting in a 47 XXY karyotype. Since its first description, the phenotype of KS has evolved and there is a much greater appreciation of the subtle features of the condition.
