Age-Related and Heteroplasmy-Related Variation in Human mtDNA Copy Number.

Manja Wachsmuth; Alexander Hübner; Mingkun Li et al.

PLoS Genetics, Vol. 12 No. 3 · 2016 · English · DOAJ Scopus

The mitochondrial (mt) genome is present in many copies in human cells, and intra-individual variation in mtDNA sequences is known as heteroplasmy. Recent studies found that heteroplasmies are highly tissue-specific, site-specific, and allele-specific, however the functional implications have not…

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, Vol. 13 · 2021 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Decline in cognitive performance, an aspect of the normal aging process, is influenced by the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1) signaling diminishes with advancing age in specific brain regions that regulate learning and memory and abolishing CB1 receptor signaling…

Staurosporine and Extracellular Matrix Proteins Mediate the Conversion of Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Cells into a Neuron-Like Phenotype

Tamara Murmann; Carmen Carrillo-García; Nadine Veit et al.

PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 2 · 2014 · English · PLOS Scopus

Small cell lung carcinomas (SCLCs) represent highly aggressive tumors with an overall five-year survival rate in the range of 5 to 10%. Here, we show that four out of five SCLC cell lines reversibly develop a neuron-like phenotype on extracellular matrix constituents such as fibronectin, laminin or…
