Mashup Score: 6Increasing legumes and reducing red meat is safe for bone health and protein intake - 8 month(s) ago
A study conducted at the University of Helsinki demonstrated that the partial substitution of red and processed meat with pea- and faba bean–based food products ensured sufficient intake of amino acids in the diet and did not negatively affect bone metabolism.

Mashup Score: 5New insights into the protein-mediated motor neuron loss in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - 8 month(s) ago
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a widespread neurodegenerative disease caused by the loss of neurons that control movement. Although abnormal accumulation of proteins called TDP-43 accompanies ALS, its role in disease progression is not well understood. Recently, using novel mouse models of ALS, researchers from the Brain Research Institute, Niigata University, have identified the neurological spreading patterns through which TDP-43 perpetuates the degeneration of the movement-related neural circuitry.

Mashup Score: 1Tau-PET : a window into the future of Alzheimer’s patients - 9 month(s) ago
Alzheimer’s disease, one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, leads to progressive loss of memory and autonomy. It is characterised by the accumulation of neurotoxic proteins in the brain, namely amyloid plaques and tau tangles. Due to the silent development of pathology over decades, very early diagnosis is of utmost importance to be able to take action as early as possible in the disease process. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Geneva University Hospitals (HUG) has demonstrated that tau PET – a novel imaging technique for visualising the tau protein – can predict cognitive decline in patients much better than the imaging techniques normally used. These results, published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, argue in favour of the rapid introduction of tau PET into the clinical routine to provide patients with early and individualised solutions.

Mashup Score: 4Local translation in microglial processes is required for efficient phagocytosis - Nature Neuroscience - 10 month(s) ago
Vasek et al. demonstrate that distal processes of microglia locally translate specific mRNAs including those related to immunity and phagocytosis. They then show that local protein synthesis is necessary for microglial process-initiated phagocytosis.

Mashup Score: 0A blood and bronchoalveolar lavage protein signature of rapid FEV1 decline in smoking-associated COPD - Scientific Reports - 11 month(s) ago
Accelerated progression of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with increased risks of hospitalization and death. Prognostic insights into mechanisms and markers of progression could facilitate development of disease-modifying therapies. Although individual biomarkers exhibit some predictive value, performance is modest and their univariate nature limits network-level…

Mashup Score: 16Dynamic mitochondrial transcription and translation in B cells control germinal center entry and lymphomagenesis - Nature Immunology - 11 month(s) ago
Clarke and colleagues show that germinal center B cells have highly dynamic mitochondria, which are regulated by the transcription factor TFAM. TFAM activity is required to promote spatial entry into the germinal center reaction by modulating cellular motility.
