Newest firstDravet syndrome (DS) is a severe infantile-onset developmental and epileptic encephalopathy characterised by frequent drug-resistant seizures, cognitive and motor impairment, and an elevated risk of premature mortality, particularly from sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Over 95% of cases are caused by loss-of-function pathogenic variants in SCN1A, the gene encoding the voltage-gated sodium channel alph…
Open article record in new tab ↗Over the past decade, groundbreaking discoveries have cemented transfer RNAs (tRNAs) as versatile regulators of translation and cellular function. As tRNA research gains momentum, several high-throughput sequencing methods have emerged for quantitative analysis of tRNA isoacceptors in cells. However, the strong secondary structure and rich post-transcriptional modification of most tRNA molecules pose significant c…
Open article record in new tab ↗Hop latent viroid (HLVd), a subviral pathogen from the family Pospiviroidae, is a major threat to the global cannabis industry and is the causative agent for "dudding disease". Infected plants can often be asymptomatic for a period of growth and then develop symptoms such as malformed and yellowing leaves, as well as stunted growth. During flowering, HLVd-infected plants show reduced levels of valuable metabolites…
Open article record in new tab ↗Endocannabinoids mediate cellular functions and their activity is controlled by a complex system of enzymes, membrane receptors and transport molecules. Endocannabinoids are present in endometrium, a cyclical regenerative tissue requiring tightly regulated cellular mechanisms for maturation. The objective of this study was to investigate the gene expression of key elements involved in the endocannabinoid system ac…
Purpose Stroke is one of the most prevalent vascular diseases. Non-invasive molecular imaging methods have the potential to provide critical insights into the temporal dynamics and follow alterations of receptor expression and metabolism in ischemic stroke. The aim of this study was to assess the cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2R) levels in transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) mouse models at subacut…
A close epidemiological link has been reported between cannabis use and schizophrenia (SCZ). However, biochemical markers in living humans related to the impact of cannabis in this disease are still missing. Olfactory neuroepithelium (ON) cells express neural features and offer a unique advantage to study biomarkers of psychiatric diseases. The aim of our study was to find exclusively deregulated proteins in ON ce…
Human placental architecture is complex. Its surface epithelium, specialized for transport, forms by fusion of cytotrophoblast progenitors into multinucleated syncytiotrophoblasts. Near the uterine surface, these progenitors assume a different fate, becoming cancer-like cells that invade its lining and blood vessels. The latter process physically connects the placenta to the mother and shunts uterine blood to the…
Purpose The diurnal cycling of intraocular pressure (IOP) was first described in humans more than a century ago. This cycling is preserved in other species. The physiologic underpinning of this diurnal variation in IOP remains a mystery, even though elevated pressure is indicated in most forms of glaucoma, a common cause of blindness. Once identified, the system that underlies diurnal variation would represent a n…
