Preconditioning Involves Selective Mitophagy Mediated by Parkin and p62/SQSTM1

TL;DR: It is found that depletion of p62 attenuated mitophagy and exacerbated cell death in HL-1 cardiomyocytes subjected to sI results reveal for the first time the crucial role of Parkin andMitophagy in cardioprotection.
Journal ArticleDOI

FGF21 Regulates Sweet and Alcohol Preference

TL;DR: It is shown that FGF21 administration markedly reduces sweet and alcohol preference in mice and sweet preference in cynomolgus monkeys, raising the possibility that F GF21 administration could affect nutrient preference and other reward behaviors in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitophagy is required for acute cardioprotection by simvastatin.

TL;DR: It is shown that autophagy and mitophagy are required for preconditioning in statin-mediated cardioprotection and the effects are mediated through inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase.
Journal ArticleDOI

MitoTimer: A novel tool for monitoring mitochondrial turnover

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a tetracycline-inducible promoter construct to regulate the expression of fluorescent Timer, a fluorescent reporter for mitochondrial dynamics, which can reveal new insights into mitochondrial dynamics within cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

New flexible synthesis of pyrazoles with different, functionalized substituents at C3 and C5.

TL;DR: The significance of the ligands made here is that by placing a ligating side chain on a ring carbon (C3), rather than on a rings nitrogen, the ring nitrogen not bound to the metal and its attached proton will be available for hydrogen bonding, depending on the steric environment created by R at C5.
