Harnessing viral strategies to reverse cognitive dysfunction through the integrated stress response

18 hours 40 minutes ago
The integrated stress response (ISR) is essential for cellular homeostasis and cognitive function. We investigated how persistent ISR activation affects cognitive performance by studying the PPP1R15B^(R658C) genetic variant associated with intellectual disability. To model this condition, we generated a mouse line with the pathogenic allele inserted. This variant destabilized the PPP1R15B•PP1 phosphatase complex, causing persistent ISR activation, impaired protein synthesis, and long-term memory...

Siah-1 is Critical for Hypoxia-Induced Lifespan Extension in Caenorhabditis elegans by Regulating the Expression of SKN-1

18 hours 40 minutes ago
CONCLUSION: The present study identifies Siah-1 as a novel mediator linking hypoxic signaling to SKN-1-dependent transcriptional programs, providing insights into conserved mechanisms of stress adaptation and aging. This work underscores the importance of ubiquitin-mediated regulatory nodes in coordinating longevity pathways under environmental stressors.

Blood-catalyzed n-doped polymers for reversible optical neural control

18 hours 40 minutes ago
Biocompatible integration of synthetic materials with living tissue remains a major challenge for bioelectronics. In this case, substrate-free conducting polymer (CP) interfaces could help bridge this gap. We report in vivo assembly of n-doped poly(benzodifurandione) (n-PBDF) using whole blood-catalyzed polymerization in awake zebrafish and mice. This approach leverages endogenous catalysts, specifically hemoproteins, to form stable, thermally and ionically sensitive CP networks, ensuring...

Extracellular vesicle-mediated release of bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate is regulated by LRRK2 and glucocerebrosidase activity

18 hours 40 minutes ago
The endolysosomal phospholipid bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate (BMP) is aberrantly elevated in urine from Parkinson's patients carrying mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) and glucocerebrosidase (GCase). Because BMP resides on, and regulates biogenesis of, endolysosomal intralumenal membranes that become extracellular vesicles (EVs) upon release, we hypothesized that increased urinary BMP reflects enhanced exocytosis of BMP-enriched EVs. We analyzed BMP metabolism and EV-associated...

Adenosine signals an imbalance between activity and supply in privileged cells

18 hours 40 minutes ago
Extracellular adenosine (e-Ado) is a critical signaling molecule, yet its origin beyond energy stress and inflammation is underexplored. Herein, we propose that Ado is ubiquitously generated in the S-adenosylmethionine transmethylation pathway and integrate this source with the concept of cellular privilege in nutrient acquisition. In this model, less privileged cells convert Ado to adenosine monophosphate (AMP) under nutrient scarcity, activating AMP-activated protein kinase, while privileged...

Memory T cell aging and rejuvenation

18 hours 40 minutes ago
Aging reshapes T cell immunity, as evidenced by eroding naive diversity and remodeled memory hierarchies. This generates an experienced yet constrained repertoire, with weakened protection against novel infections and malignancies and blunted vaccine responsiveness. However, the pace and extent of decline vary widely between individuals. Such heterogeneity signals a recalibration of immune priorities that favors persistence over plasticity of memory T cells. Here, we discuss how aging shapes...
