Unlocking the Mysteries of Brain Function - New Publication in Cell Death & Disease by Integrative Neurobiology team

Slc20a1 and Slc20a2 regulate neuronal plasticity and cognition independently of their phosphate transport ability

In recent years, significant strides have been made in understanding rare neurological diseases like Primary Familial Brain Calcification (PFBC) an inherited form of neurological disorder with a wide spectrum of cognitive aspects. This condition has been associated with mutations in the sodium (Na)-Phosphate (Pi) co-transporter SLC20A2.
However, the etiology of brain [...]

Just published: Airway environment drives the selection of quorum sensing mutants and promote Staphylococcus aureus chronic lifestyle
In their recently published study, Xiongqi Ding et al. (Team Pathogenesis of systemic infections) shed light on a critical aspect of chronic lung diseases : how the airway environment influences the behavior of S. aureus, a key player in these infections, particularly cystic fibrosis (CF).
Study Highlights
The study explores how S. aureus, a common opportunistic pathogen, adapts to the lungs of CF patients.
Key discoveries include convergent evolution in S. aureus, with [...]

Just Published: The AMPK-Sirtuin 1-YAP axis is regulated by fluid flow intensity and controls autophagy flux in kidney epithelial cells by Aurore Claude-Taupin
In their recently published paper in Nature Communications, Aurore Claude-Taupin et al. explore the critical role of shear stress, a known regulator of renal function, and its dysregulation in various kidney diseases.
Building on prior research highlighting the significance of primary cilium-dependent autophagy in kidney epithelial cells' response to fluid flow, a new dimension has emerged.
Key Insights
  • Nuclear YAP/TAZ's involvement in negatively regulating [...]
