TH5487 specifically targets NLRP3 in FCAS patients resistant to MCC950

Abstract Aberrant activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome contributes to a wide range of chronic inflammatory disorders. Here, we investigate small-molecule inhibitors originally developed to target the DNA repair enzyme hOGG1 and demonstrate their ability to inhibit NLRP3 activation in human cells. These compounds, including TH5487 (IC50 1.62 µM in human PBMCs), reduce IL-1β secretion while increasing type I interferon responses.

Diverse and location-specific roles of PlexinA2, PlexinA4, and NCAM in developing hippocampal mossy fibers - Translational Psychiatry

Abstract Mossy fibers (MFs) originate from dentate granule cells and innervate area CA3 of the hippocampus. Upon entry of CA3, MFs partition into two prominent axon bundles, the suprapyramidal tract (SPT) and infrapyramidal tract (IPT) and form lamina specific synaptic contacts in the stratum lucidum (SL) and stratum oriens (SO), respectively. Here we mapped cell type specific gene expression and subcellular distribution of Sema6A and its receptors PlexinA2 (PlxnA2) and PlxnA4.

By Karen Wang
| blinkux.com
Evaluative research (also called evaluation research) measures how a product or concept performs when tested with real users, allowing us to road-test our hypotheses about how well things work. Every time you try something new—an olive oil, a morning routine, a communication style—then compare your current results to your past ones, you’re doing a low-tech, layperson version of evaluative research.
