ACUTE ABDOMEN DUE TO UNCONTROLLED USE OF WARFARIN: SPONTANEOUS INTRA-ABDOMINAL


Activin A targets extrasynaptic NMDA receptors to ameliorate neuronal and behavioral deficits in a mouse model of Huntington disease

Cortical-striatal synaptic dysfunction, including enhanced toxic signaling by extrasynaptic N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (eNMDARs), precedes neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD).A previous study showed Activin A, whose transcription is upregulated by calcium influx via synaptic Barstools NMDARs, suppresses eNMDAR signaling.Therefore, we e

An ER Protein Functionally Couples Neutral Lipid Metabolism on Lipid Droplets to Membrane Lipid Synthesis in the ER

Eukaryotic cells store neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs).Here, we have addressed how LDs are functionally linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).We show that, in S.cerevisiae, LD growth is sustained by LD-localized enzymes.When LDs grow in early stationary phase, the diacylglycerol acyl-transferase Dga1p moves f
