    Abstract Endocytosis is a critical process for cell growth and viability. It mediates nutrient uptake, guarantees plasma membrane homeostasis, and generates intracellular signaling cascades. Moreover, it plays an important role in dead cell clearance and defense against external microbes. Finally, endocytosis is an important cellular route for the delivery of nanomedicines for therapeutic treatments. Thus, it is not surprising that both environmental and genetic perturbation of endocytosis have been associated with several human conditions such as cancer, neurological disorders, and virus infections, among others. Over the last decades, a lot of research has been focused on developing advanced imaging methods to monitor endocytosis events with high resolution in living cells and tissues. These include fluorescence imaging, electron microscopy, and correlative and super-resolution microscopy. In this review, we outline the major endocytic pathways and briefly discuss how defects in the molecular machinery of these pathways lead to disease. We then discuss the current imaging methodologies used to study endocytosis in different contexts, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.

    Abstract Evidence supports the pathophysiological relevance of crosstalk between the neurotransmitters Glycine and Glutamate and their close interactions; some reports even support the possibility of Glycine-Glutamate cotransmission in central nervous system (CNS) areas, including the hippocampus. Functional studies with isolated nerve terminals (synaptosomes) permit us to study transporter-mediated interactions between neurotransmitters that lead to the regulation of transmitter release. Our main aims here were: (i) to investigate release-regulating, transporter-mediated interactions between Glycine and Glutamate in hippocampal nerve terminals and (ii) to determine the coexistence of transporters for Glycine and Glutamate in these terminals. Purified synaptosomes, analyzed at the ultrastructural level via electron microscopy, were used as the experimental model. Mouse hippocampal synaptosomes were prelabeled with [

    Abstract In this paper, we describe a simple and reliable way to preoperatively localize the auriculotemporal nerve in migraine surgery. We measured the correspondence of this cutaneous landmark and the ATN in twelve migraine patients operated at Site V. Our findings demonstrated a very high concordance between the described point and the underlying auriculotemporal nerve. This method might be of some utility in the preoperative planning of Site V Migraine surgery, in the strive of reducing the length of cutaneous incision and the invasiveness of the procedure.

    Abstract Background and purpose: To deepen our knowledge of the role of complement in synaptic impairment in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mice, we investigated the distribution of C1q and C3 proteins and the role of complement as a promoter of glutamate release in purified nerve endings (synaptosomes) and astrocytic processes (gliosomes) isolated from the cortex of EAE mice at the acute stage of the disease (21 ± 1 day post-immunization).
    Experimental approach: EAE cortical synaptosomes and gliosomes were analysed for glutamate release efficiency (measured as release of preloaded [
    Key results: In healthy mice, complement releases [
    Conclusion and implications: Our results unveil a new noncanonical role of complement in the CNS of EAE mice relevant to disease progression and central synaptopathy that suggests new therapeutic targets for the management of MS.

    Abstract Inflammation is a physiological response to a damaging stimulus but sometimes can be the cause of the onset of neurodegenerative diseases, atherosclerosis, and cancer. These pathologies are characterized by the overexpression of inflammatory markers like endothelial adhesion molecules, such as Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 (VCAM-1). In the present work, the development of liposomes for therapeutic targeted delivery to inflamed endothelia is described. The idea is to exploit a three-step pretargeting system based on the biotin-avidin high-affinity interaction: the first step involves a previously described biotin derivative bearing a VCAM-1 binding peptide; in the second step, the avidin derivative NeutrAvidin

    Abstract Breast cancer is a significant global health concern, with the overexpression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2/ERBB2) being a driver oncogene in 20%-30% of cases. Indeed, HER2/ERBB2 plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and survival via a complex signaling network. Overexpression of HER2/ERBB2 is associated with more aggressive behavior and increased risk of brain metastases, which remains a significant clinical challenge for treatment. Recent research has highlighted the role of breast cancer secretomes in promoting tumor progression, including excessive proliferation, immune invasion, and resistance to anti-cancer therapy, and their potential as cancer biomarkers. In this study, we investigated the impact of ERBB2+ breast cancer

    Abstract Although there is increasing evidence of migraine headaches having extracranial origins, the exact mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of surgically treated migraines continue to be poorly investigated and described. We studied the microscopic and ultrastructural characteristics of superficial temporal artery (STA) and occipital (OA) artery in the auriculotemporal and great occipital trigger points of migraine patients to determine their possible role in migraine etiopathogenesis. Fifteen biopsies, 10 of STA and 5 from OAs, were collected intraoperatively during migraine surgery and immediately processed for optical and ultramicroscopic analysis. We detected the following anomalies in all the specimens: (a) endothelial damage with internal elastic lamina fragmentation and intimal thickening; (b) marked irregularity in the shape and metachromasia of the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), separation of cells by abundant extracellular matrix and vacuoles. The electron microscopy analysis confirmed that presumed VSMCs infiltrated the intima layer revealing a consistent shift of VSMCs from contractile to synthetically active phenotypes, endosome-like organelles, multilamellar structures, abundant extracellular vacuoles filled with fine granular material and membranes, and extracellular vesicles in the matrix space surrounding synthetically active cells. Our study revealed specific alterations in the vasculature at the neurovascular bundles of the temporal and occipital trigger sites. These findings are indicative of an active involvement of the arteries in the auriculotemporal and great occipital trigger sites in evoking migraine.
