Autophagy sequesters cytoplasmic portions into autophagosomes. While selective cargo is engulfed by elongation of cup-shaped isolation membranes (IMs), the morphogenesis of non-selective IMs remains elusive. Based on recent observations, we propose a novel model for autophagosome morphogenesis wherein active regulation of the IM rim serves the physiological roles of autophagy.

Bitter acids (BA) are main component of Humulus lupulus L. (hops). They are known for beer brewing and have various biological and pharmacological properties, especially the bone-protective effect confirmed by our previous in vivo study.

Introduction: Inflammatory factors leading to bone loss significantly increase the risk of tooth loosening or implantation failure. Zoledronic acid (ZOL) is a widely used medication for effectively inhibiting excessive bone destruction, but its effect on alleviating inflammatory bone loss remains to be elucidated. In this study, we investigated whether ZOL alleviates inflammatory bone resorption through immunomodulatory effect.

The identification of both autophagy-related material degradation and unconventional secretion has paved the way for significant breakthroughs linking autophagy to a plethora of physiological processes and disease conditions. However, the mechanisms that coordinate these two pathways remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that a switch from the lysosomal degradation to a secretory autophagy pathway is governed by protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B, encoded by PTPN1).

Dentin phosphophoryn (DPP), synthesized and processed predominantly by the odontoblasts, serves both a structural and signaling role in dentin. In the ECM, DPP functions as an avid calcium and collagen binding protein and it also plays a crucial role as a scaffold for cell attachment and survival. The signaling function of DPP was demonstrated when undifferentiated mesenchymal cells stimulated with DPP, mediated calcium signaling through release of intracellular Ca.
