Research Spotlight - December 2023
Welcome to the latest issue of Research Spotlight! We're excited to dive into biomedical breakthroughs that are impacting health and disease research.
In the field of neuroscience, research revealed how stress affects the brain, particularly the red nucleus, and its link to anxiety and immune responses. This insight has implications for treating mental health disorders. In respiratory research, a new study advanced our understanding of how the lungs detect allergens, opening up possibilities for better treatments for respiratory diseases.
For regenerative medicine, scientists demonstrated that iron deficiency hampers muscle healing through specific molecular pathways, paving the way for improved muscle repair treatments.
Biologists also investigated SMURF1 protein's role in cell waste management and renewal, offering insights into maintaining cell health. Lastly, researchers proposed innovative use of stem cell-derived mitochondria, potentially enhancing treatments for nerve damage recovery.

Stress-induced Red Nucleus Attenuation Induces Anxiety-like Behavior and Lymph Node CCL5 Secretion
Authors: Shi, D.D., Zhang, Y.D., Zhang, S., Liao, B.B., Chu, M.Y., Su, S…
Journal: Nature Communications
Previous studies have speculated that brain activity directly controls immune responses in lymphoid organs. However, the upstream brain regions that control lymphoid organs and how they interface with lymphoid organs to produce stress-induced anxiety-like behavior remain elusive. Using stressed human participants and rat models...

SMURF1 Controls the PPP3/Calcineurin Complex and TFEB at a Regulatory Node for Lysosomal Biogenesis
Authors: Xia, Q., Zheng, H., Li, Y., Xu, W., Wu, C., Xu, J., Li, S., Zhang, L…
Journal: Autophagy
Macroautophagy/autophagy is a homeostatic process in response to multiple signaling, such as the lysosome-dependent recycling process of cellular components. Starvation-induced MTOR inactivation and PPP3/calcineurin activation were shown to promote the nuclear translocation of TFEB. However, the mechanisms via which signals...
