IGSF10 is a RET antagonist regulating Ewing sarcoma growth and GnRH neuron migration

3 weeks 5 days ago
RET is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays important roles in development, cancers, and Parkinson's disease. Here, we identify immunoglobulin superfamily member 10 (IGSF10) as a RET antagonist. We show that Ewing sarcoma depends on IGSF10 and that IGSF10 prevents RET-mediated activation of cdc42, a Rho family G protein and a key regulator of Ewing sarcoma growth as well as cell migration. We demonstrate that IGSF10 binds RET and GAS1, a cell surface RET inhibitor, and assembles an inhibitory...

The evolution of Alzheimer's disease: From mitochondria to microglia

3 weeks 5 days ago
Alzheimer's disease (AD) represents the most prevalent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide. Recent studies highlights that mitochondrial dysfunction drives alterations in microglial function, serving as a pivotal mechanism in the pathogenesis and progression of AD. Increasingly, there is evidence that mitochondrial dysfunction encompasses energy metabolism deficits, heightened oxidative stress, impaired mitochondrial dynamics, disrupted autophagy, and calcium homeostasis imbalances. These...

Micro/nanoplastic-driven cardiovascular senescence and multi-target intervention by traditional Chinese medicine

3 weeks 5 days ago
Micro/nanoplastics (MNPs), pervasive environmental pollutants, accumulate in cardiovascular tissues and drive premature aging through multiscale pathophysiological cascades. This review synthesizes evidence establishing environmental phenotypic aging as a novel mechanistic link between MNP exposure and cardiovascular senescence. MNPs induce mitochondrial damage involving cristae disruption and mtDNA leakage activating cGAS-STING, epigenetic reprogramming encompassing METTL3-mediated m6A...

Choroid plexus-mediated CSF secretion remains stable in aging rats via high and age-resistant metabolic activity

3 weeks 5 days ago
Our brain is bathed in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that is produced by the choroid plexus. CSF serves as a dispersion route for hormones and nutrients, and a conduit for waste clearance. Age-dependent reduction in the CSF secretion rate could influence cerebral waste clearance and thereby promote cognitive deficits in the elderly. Here, we resolve age-dependent modulation of CSF dynamics and choroid plexus function by complementary in vivo determinations of intracranial pressure (ICP) and CSF...
