Endocrine pancreas plasticity under physiological and pathological conditions.
Endocrine pancreas plasticity may be defined as the ability of the organ to adapt the beta-cell mass to the variations in insulin demand. For example, during late pregnancy and obesity, the increase of the beta-cell mass, in association with beta-cell hyperactivity, contributes to insulin oversecretion in response to insulin resistance. There is increasing evidence that the ability of the beta-...
متن کاملCitrullination under physiological and pathological conditions.
Citrullination, one of the enzymatic posttranslational modifications has become a hot topic of recent research as it is involved in various physiological and pathological processes. Antibodies against citrullinated proteins called anti-citrullinated protein antibodies, are the hallmark (diagnostic and prognostic factors) of rheumatoid arthritis, and are specific for the disease. Citrullination ...
متن کاملVascular regulation of adult neurogenesis under physiological and pathological conditions
Neural stem cells in the mammalian adult brain continuously produce new neurons throughout life. Accumulating evidence in rodents suggests that various aspects of adult neurogenesis, including the genesis, migration, and maturation of new neurons, are regulated by factors derived from blood vessels and their microenvironment. Brain injury enhances both neurogenesis and angiogenesis, thereby pro...
متن کاملFunctional alterations of cardiac proteasomes under physiological and pathological conditions.
The cardiac proteasome is a complex, heterogeneous, and dynamic organelle. Its function is regulated by its molecular organization, post-translational modifications, and associated partner proteins. Pressure overload, ischaemic heart disease, or genetic mutations in contractile proteins can cause heart failure, during which misfolded protein levels are elevated. At the same time, numerous inter...
متن کاملIntestinal Host-Microbe Interactions under Physiological and Pathological Conditions
The intestinal mucosa is unique in that it can be tolerant to the resident, symbiotic microbiota but remaining, at the same time, responsive to and able to fight pathogens. The close interaction between host-symbiotic microbiota at the mucosal level poses important challenges since microbial breaches through the gut barrier can result in the breakdown of gut homeostasis. In this paper, hosts-in...
