Microdose Lithium Protects against Pancreatic Islet Destruction and Renal Impairment in Streptozotocin-Elicited Diabetes

Researchers suggested that microdose lithium conferred a protective effect on islet β-cells via targeting the GSK3β-regulated Nrf2 antioxidant response and thereby ameliorated type 1 diabetes mellitus and its related kidney impairment.

SHANK2 Mutations Impair Apoptosis, Proliferation and Neurite Outgrowth during Early Neuronal Differentiation in SH-SY5Y Cells

Using CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, scientists obtaineded SH-SY5Y cell lines with frameshift mutations on one or both SHANK2 alleles. They investigated the effects of the different SHANK2 mutations on cell morphology, cell proliferation and differentiation potential during early neuronal differentiation.

Smoothened-Activating Lipids Drive Resistance to CDK4/6 Inhibition in Hedgehog-Associated Medulloblastoma Cells and Preclinical Models

Scientists identified resistance mechanisms to CDK6 inhibition in Hedgehog (HH)-associated medulloblastoma by performing orthogonal CRISPR and CRISPR interference screens in medulloblastoma cells treated with a CDK4/6 inhibitor, and RNA-sequencing of a mouse model of HH-associated medulloblastoma with genetic deletion of Cdk6.

Endoplasmic Reticulum Interaction Supports Energy Production and Redox Homeostasis in Mitochondria Released from Astrocytes

Mitochondria can be released by astrocytes as part of a help-me signaling process in stroke. Scientists investigated the molecular mechanisms that underlay mitochondria secretion, redox status, and functional regulation in the extracellular environment.
