Functional Diversity of Fibroblast Growth Factors in Bone Formation by Yuichiro Takei, Tomoko Minamizaki, Yuji Yoshiko

“…Recently, several research groups, including ours, have shown that FGF23, a member of the hormone-like FGF subfamily, is primarily expressed in osteocytes/osteoblasts. This polypeptide decreases serum phosphate levels by inhibiting renal phosphate reabsorption and vitamin D3 activation, resulting in mineralization defects in the bone. …”

Morphological and functional convergence of visual projection neurons from diverse neurogenic origins in Drosophila by Rana Naja El-Danaf, Katarina Kapuralin, Raghuvanshi Rajesh, Félix Simon, Nizar Drou, Filipe Pinto-Teixeira, Mehmet Neset Özel, Claude Desplan

“…To address their origin, we used single-cell mRNA sequencing to define the transcriptome of LCN subtypes and identified lines that are expressed throughout their development. We show that LCNs originate from stem cells in four distinct brain regions exhibiting different modes of neurogenesis, including the ventral and dorsal tips of the outer proliferation center, the ventral superficial inner proliferation center and the central brain. …”

Do PPAR-Gamma Agonists Have a Future in Parkinson's Disease Therapy? by Anna R. Carta, Augusta Pisanu, Ezio Carboni

“…Moreover, after the discovery of infiltrating activated Limphocytes in the substantia nigra (SN) of PD patients, most recent research supports a role of immune-mediated mechanisms in the pathological process leading to chronic neuroinflammation and dopaminergic degeneration. PPAR-γ are highly expressed in cells of both central and peripheral immune systems, playing a pivotal role in microglial activation as well as in monocytes and T cells differentiation, in which they act as key regulators of immune responses. …”
