Published: November 2018

How amyloid‐β (Aβ) and tau exacerbate Alzheimer's disease (AD) at a subcellular level is only incompletely understood. Norambuena (2018) report crosstalk between mitochondria and lysosomes and identify a role for lysosomal mTORC1 in the nutrient‐induced activation of mitochondria. This lysosomal signalling pathway is strongly inhibited by oligomeric Aβ through the tau‐dependent activation of plasma membrane‐localized mTORC1. Together, these results identify a further role for tau in mediating Aβ toxicity.

Transcriptome of capsular contracture around breast implants mimics allograft rejection: a matched case-control study.

Plast Reconstr Surg

December 2024

Copenhagen University Hospital, Department of Plastic Surgery and Burns Treatment, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Background: Capsular contracture is a frequent and severe complication following breast implant surgery. Although several theories on the pathophysiology exist, the exact molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to identify the specific genes, signaling pathways, and immune cells associated with capsular contracture.

JMJD8 regulates adipocyte hypertrophy through the interaction with Perilipin 2.

Diabetes

January 2025

Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department, University of California Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, US.

Adipocyte hypertrophy significantly contributes to insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Our previous research established JMJD8 as a mediator of insulin resistance, noting its role in promoting adipocyte hypertrophy within an autonomous adipocyte context. Nevertheless, the precise mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remained elusive.

Purpose: This literature review synthetizes current evidence on the timing and efficacy of dexamethasone intravitreal injections for diabetic macular edema (DME) in patients undergoing cataract surgery, particularly phacoemulsification, to determine the optimal timing for improved outcome.

Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted across key databases to identify peer-reviewed studies, clinical trials, and meta-analyses addressing dexamethasone injections administered pre-, intra-, and post-operatively for DME in the context of cataract surgery. Studies were selected based on relevance to timing, visual outcomes, and inflammation control, with a focus on comparative efficacy.
