Article Abstract

Amelogenesis is a highly regulated process involving multiple signaling pathways, among which the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in enamel formation. This review firstly elucidates the critical functions of TGF-β1 in regulating ameloblast behavior and enamel development, encompassing ameloblast proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, enamel matrix protein synthesis, and mineralization. Secondly, based on emerging evidence, we further discuss potential interactions between TGF-β signaling and circadian regulation in enamel formation, although this relationship requires further experimental validation. Finally, future research directions are proposed to further investigate the relationship between TGF-β1 and the circadian clock in the context of amelogenesis.

Dopamine (DA) signaling is essential for neurodevelopment and is particularly sensitive to disruption during adolescence. Protein restriction (PR) can impair DA dynamics, yet mechanistic insights remain limited due to challenges in real-time neurochemical sensing. Here, we present aptCFE, a robust implantable aptamer-based sensor fabricated via a reagent-free, 3 min electrochemical conjugation (E-conjugation) using amine-quinone chemistry.

The hallmarks of mechanosensitive ion channels have been observed for half a century in various cell lines, although their mechanisms and molecular identities remained unknown until recently. Identification of the bona fide mammalian mechanosensory Piezo channels resulted in an explosion of research exploring the translation of mechanical cues into biochemical signals and dynamic cell morphology responses. One of the Piezo isoforms - Piezo1 - is integral in the erythrocyte (red blood cell; RBC) membrane.

Rising atmospheric CO exposes plants to high-CO environments, while excessive nitrogen fertilizer use degrades soil, highlighting the need to reduce nitrogen input and cultivate vigorous cucumber seedlings under HC-LN conditions. Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) sense calcium signals and regulate carbon/nitrogen metabolism via CBL-interacting protein kinases (CIPKs), though their roles in cucumber under HC-LN conditions are unclear. Here, we identified seven and 19 genes.

In light of the success of blockbuster drugs for type 2 diabetes and obesity based on the GLP-1 hormone, drugmakers have concentrated their efforts on developing new and improved variations that address the route of administration, dosing, pathway selectivity, or polypharmacology. While some of these modifications have demonstrated improved efficacy in clinical studies and offered exciting opportunities for treating other diseases, drug-induced shifts to the conformational landscape of target receptors may have consequences for side effects. Our review summarizes advances in the understanding of the biochemistry, pharmacogenomics, and molecular pharmacology of incretins and their cognate receptors.

β-Adrenergic Receptors - Not Always Outside-In.

Canonical activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) by hormone binding occurs at the plasma membrane, resulting in the diffusion of second messengers to intracellular effector sites throughout the cell. In contrast, recent evidence suggests that functional GPCRs can induce signaling from distinct intracellular domains, contributing to specificity in signaling. Functional adrenergic receptors have been identified at intracellular sites in the cardiac myocyte such as endosomes, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi and the inner nuclear membrane.
