Upon injury, fibroblasts in the surrounding tissue become activated, migrating into the wound in a controlled manner. Once they arrive, they contract the wound and remodel the stroma. While certain cell surface receptors promote fibroblast migration, others cause repulsion between fibroblasts upon contact, seemingly opposing their clustering within the wound bed.

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is a thin shell of gap junction coupled GABAergic inhibitory neurons that regulate afferent sensory relay of the thalamus. The TRN receives dopaminergic innervation from the midbrain, and it is known to express high concentrations of D1 and D4 receptors. Although dopaminergic modulation of presynaptic inputs to TRN has been described, the direct effect of dopamine on TRN neurons and its electrical synapses is largely unknown.

Context: Metabolomics is becoming increasingly popular for detecting markers that indicate the presence of a specific disease. However, it is usually applied to studying individual ailments, yielding results that may not be directly relevant to people with multiple health conditions.
Objective: Our study proposes a different approach to explore metabolic crosstalk between various disease states.

Post-translational SUMOylation of nuclear and cytosolic proteins maintains homeostasis in eukaryotic cells and orchestrates programmed responses to changes in metabolic demand or extracellular stimuli. In excitable cells, SUMOylation tunes the biophysical properties and trafficking of ion channels. Ion channel SUMOylation status is determined by the opposing enzyme activities of SUMO ligases and deconjugases.
