Open AccessTMC6 functions as a GPCR-like receptor to sense noxious heat via Gαq signaling
Thermosensation is vital for the survival, propagation, and adaption of all organisms, but its mechanism is not fully understood yet. Here, we find that TMC6, a membrane protein of unknown function, is highly ...

Open AccessThrombomodulin reduces α-synuclein generation and ameliorates neuropathology in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease
The neurotoxic α-synuclein (α-syn) oligomers play an important role in the occurrence and development of Parkinson’s disease (PD), but the factors affecting α-syn generation and neurotoxicity remain unclear. W...

Open AccessAdvanced oxidation protein products attenuate the autophagy-lysosome pathway in ovarian granulosa cells by modulating the ROS-dependent mTOR-TFEB pathway
Oxidative stress dysfunction has recently been found to be involved in the pathogenesis of premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Previously, we found that advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in plasma...

Open AccessKetogenic diet-produced β-hydroxybutyric acid accumulates brain GABA and increases GABA/glutamate ratio to inhibit epilepsy
Ketogenic diet (KD) alleviates refractory epilepsy and reduces seizures in children. However, the metabolic/cell biologic mechanisms by which the KD exerts its antiepileptic efficacy remain elusive. Herein, we...
