Structure of the Human Cholesterol Transporter ABCG1

Liga Skarda et al.

Summary: ABCG1 is an ATP binding cassette transporter that removes excess cholesterol from peripheral tissues, and its mechanism of cholesterol transport is still unknown. Structural comparisons reveal differences in mechanism and substrate specificity between ABCG1, ABCG2, and ABCG5/G8, providing insights into ABCG1-mediated cholesterol transport.

The role of mitochondria in cocaine addiction

Claire Thornton et al.

Summary: The incidence of cocaine abuse is increasing, particularly in the U.K., with profound effects on brain metabolism and mitochondrial function. Cocaine exposure alters metabolic gene expression and protein networks in key brain regions, potentially impacting brain development and the pathophysiology of addiction. Therapies aimed at maintaining mitochondrial functional integrity may hold promise in mitigating cocaine addiction and pathology.

Altered cardiac mitochondrial dynamics and biogenesis in rat after short-term cocaine administration

Shuheng Wen et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that cocaine induces alterations in cardiac mitochondrial dynamics, biogenesis, and UPRmt before any structural changes are observable in the myocardium, potentially reflecting a compensatory mechanism of cardiac mitochondria against the cardiotoxic effects of cocaine.

Adiponectin-expressing Treg facilitate T lymphocyte development in thymic nurse cell complexes

Yiwei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the importance of adiponectin in the selection and development of T lymphocytes within thymic nurse cell complexes. Adiponectin-expressing regulatory T-cells (Treg) have the potential to improve glucose metabolism in obese mice and inhibit mammary tumor growth, suggesting them as a promising therapeutic agent against obesity-related metabolic and cancer diseases.

Sustained splenic contraction after daily cocaine administration in rats

Moeka Nomura et al.

Summary: Repeated cocaine administration leads to sustained contraction of the spleen in rats, resulting in the release of red blood cells into circulation. No marked changes were observed in other organs besides the spleen.
