    Abstract Abstract Background Parkinson’s disease (PD), a highly prevalent neuro-motor disorder is caused due to progressive loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons at substantia nigra region of brain. This leads to depleted dopamine (DA) content at striatum, thus affecting the fine tuning of basal ganglia. In patients, this imbalance is manifested by akinesia, catalepsy and tremor. PD associated behavioral dysfunctions are frequently mitigated by l-DOPA (LD) therapy, a precursor for DA synthesis. Due to progressive neurodegeneration, LD eventually loses applicability in PD. Although DA is cytotoxic, it is unclear whether LD therapy can accelerate PD progression or not. LD itself does not lead to neurodegeneration in vivo, but previous reports demonstrate that LD treatment mediated excess DA can potentiate neurotoxicity when PD associated genetic or epigenetic aberrations are involved. So, minimizing DA toxicity during the therapy is an absolute necessity to halt or slowdown PD progression. The two major contributing factors associated with DA toxicity are: degradation by Monoamine oxidase and DAquinone (DAQ) formation. Results Here, we report that apoptotic mitochondrial fragmentation via Calcineurin (CaN)-DRP1 axis is a common downstream event for both these initial cues, inhibiting which can protect cells from DA toxicity comprehensively. No protective effect is observed, in terms of cell survival when only PxIxIT domain of CaN is obstructed, demonstrating the importance to block DRP1-CaN axis specifically. Further, evaluation of the impact of DA exposure on PD progression in a mice model reveal that LD mediated behavioral recovery diminishes with time, mostly because of continued DAergic cell death and dendritic spine loss at striatum. CaN inhibition, alone or in combination with LD, offer long term behavioral protection. This protective effect is mediated specifically by hindering CaN-DRP1 axis, whereas inhibiting interaction between CaN and other substrates, including proteins involved in neuro-inflammation, remained ...

    Abstract Background: Parkinson's disease (PD), a highly prevalent neuro-motor disorder is caused due to progressive loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons at substantia nigra region of brain. This leads to depleted dopamine (DA) content at striatum, thus affecting the fine tuning of basal ganglia. In patients, this imbalance is manifested by akinesia, catalepsy and tremor.

    Results: Here, we report that apoptotic mitochondrial fragmentation via Calcineurin (CaN)-DRP1 axis is a common downstream event for both these initial cues, inhibiting which can protect cells from DA toxicity comprehensively. No protective effect is observed, in terms of cell survival when only PxIxIT domain of CaN is obstructed, demonstrating the importance to block DRP1-CaN axis specifically.

CaN inhibition, alone or in combination with LD, offer long term behavioral protection. This protective effect is mediated specifically by hindering CaN-DRP1 axis, whereas inhibiting interaction between CaN and other substrates, including proteins involved in neuro-inflammation, remained ineffective when LD is co-administered.
    Conclusions: In this study, we conclude that DA toxicity can be circumvented by CaN inhibition and it can mitigate PD related behavioral aberrations by protecting neuronal architecture at striatum. We propose that CaN inhibitors might extend the therapeutic efficacy of LD treatment.

    Abstract In the recent past, many of the deubiquitinases (DUB) were found to modulate mitochondrial clearance or mitophagy and thus they are currently projected as therapeutic targets against neurodegeneration. Among these DUBs, USP14 stands at a distinctive juncture, since it can influence both proteasome complex activity and autophagy process. USP14 interference can enhance mitochondrial clearance and thus can protect Parkinsonian phenotypes in

    Abstract Bacteriophages are viral agents that infect and replicate within bacterial cells. Despite the increasing importance of phage ecology, environmental phages-particularly those targeting phyllosphere-associated bacteria-remain underexplored, and current genomic databases lack high-quality phage genome sequences linked to specific environmentally important bacteria, such as the ubiquitous sphingomonads. Here, we isolated three novel phages from a Danish wastewater treatment facility. Notably, these phages are among the first discovered to target and regulate a

    Abstract A "one-pot one-step" synthesis method of Core/Alloy Shell (CAS) quantum dots (QDs) offers the scope of large scale synthesis in a less time consuming, more economical, highly reproducible and high-throughput manner in comparison to "multi-pot multi-step" synthesis for Core/Shell (CS) QDs. Rapid initial nucleation, and smooth & uniform shell growth lead to the formation of a compositionally-gradient alloyed hetero-structure with very significantly reduced interfacial trap density in CAS QDs. Thus, interfacial strain gets reduced in a much smoother manner leading to enhanced confinement for the photo-generated charge carriers in CAS QDs. Convincing proof of alloy-shelling for a CAS QD has been provided from HRTEM images at the single particle level. The band gap could be tuned as a function of composition, temperature, reactivity difference of precursors,

    Abstract Fusobacterium necrophorum is a Gram-negative, filamentous anaerobe prevalent in the mucosal flora of animals and humans. It causes necrotic infections in cattle, resulting in a substantial economic impact on the cattle industry. Although infection severity and management differ within F. necrophorum species, little is known about F. necrophorum speciation and the genetic virulence determinants between strains. To characterize the clinical isolates, we performed whole-genome sequencing of four bovine isolates (8L1, 212, B17, and SM1216) and one human isolate (MK12). To determine the phylogenetic relationship and evolution pattern and investigate the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) and potential virulence genes of F. necrophorum, we also performed comparative genomics with publicly available

    Abstract Background: Accelerated fractionation radiotherapy has radiobiological advantage of preventing accelerated tumor repopulation and logistic advantage of treating more patients than conventionally fractionated radiotherapy because of its relatively shorter treatment duration. Aims and Objectives: In this study, we compared accelerated fractionation with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy in terms of tumor response and acute toxicities for the treatment of locally advanced head-and-neck carcinomas. Materials and Methods: Patients with Stage III and IVA carcinoma of head-and-neck region were randomized into two groups. The study group patients received accelerated radiotherapy to a total dose of 66Gy in 33 fractions, 2Gy/fraction, 6 fractions/week over a time period of 5.5 weeks. Control group received conventionally fractionated radiotherapy to same total dose and fraction size but 5 fractions/week, over a time period of 6.5 weeks. Both groups received concurrent weekly Cisplatin. All patients were followed up weekly for treatment related acute toxicity during the treatment and then at every month for 6 months after completion of treatment. Results: About 26.6% patients of study arm achieved complete response in comparison to 25.6% of control arm, but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.957). Although statistically not significant, higher grade of skin toxicity (60%vs.35%, P=0.179) and xerostomia (46% vs. 29%, P=0.155) was also numerically higher in accelerated fractionation. Conclusion: For locally advanced head-and-neck carcinoma, accelerated fractionation radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy can be considered as an acceptable and effective alternative of conventionally fractionated concurrent chemoradiotherapy in terms of treatment response and acute toxicity profile.
