TL;DR: A comprehensive QST protocol is compiled using well established tests for nearly all aspects of somatosensation to test for patterns of sensory loss or gain, and to assess both cutaneous and deep pain sensitivity.

TL;DR: Investigation of the gastric myenteric and submucosal plexuses in 150 microm cryosections and 8 microm paraffin sections from five autopsy individuals found alpha-synuclein immunoreactive inclusions were found in neurons of the subMucosal Meissner plexus, whose axons could provide the first link in an uninterrupted series of susceptible neurons that extend from the enteric to the central nervous system.

TL;DR: The data suggest that expression of Foxp3 must be stabilized by epigenetic modification to allow the development of a permanent suppressor cell lineage, a finding of significant importance for therapeutic applications involving induction or transfer of Tregs and for the understanding of long-term cell lineage decisions.
Abstract: Compelling evidence suggests that the transcription factor Foxp3 acts as a master switch governing the development and function of CD4+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). However, whether transcriptional control of Foxp3 expression itself contributes to the development of a stable Treg lineage has thus far not been investigated. We here identified an evolutionarily conserved region within the foxp3 locus upstream of exon-1 possessing transcriptional activity. Bisulphite sequencing and chromatin immunoprecipitation revealed complete demethylation of CpG motifs as well as histone modifications within the conserved region in ex vivo isolated Foxp3+CD25+CD4+ Tregs, but not in naive CD25−CD4+ T cells. Partial DNA demethylation is already found within developing Foxp3+ thymocytes; however, Tregs induced by TGF-β in vitro display only incomplete demethylation despite high Foxp3 expression. In contrast to natural Tregs, these TGF-β–induced Foxp3+ Tregs lose both Foxp3 expression and suppressive activity upon restimulation in the absence of TGF-β. Our data suggest that expression of Foxp3 must be stabilized by epigenetic modification to allow the development of a permanent suppressor cell lineage, a finding of significant importance for therapeutic applications involving induction or transfer of Tregs and for the understanding of long-term cell lineage decisions.

TL;DR: Vesiclepedia is a community-annotated compendium of molecular data on extracellular vesicles that aims to provide a single authoritative source for information on vesicle structure and function.
Abstract: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membraneous vesicles released by a variety of cells into their microenvironment. Recent studies have elucidated the role of EVs in intercellular communication, pathogenesis, drug, vaccine and gene-vector delivery, and as possible reservoirs of biomarkers. These findings have generated immense interest, along with an exponential increase in molecular data pertaining to EVs. Here, we describe Vesiclepedia, a manually curated compendium of molecular data (lipid, RNA, and protein) identified in different classes of EVs from more than 300 independent studies published over the past several years. Even though databases are indispensable resources for the scientific community, recent studies have shown that more than 50% of the databases are not regularly updated. In addition, more than 20% of the database links are inactive. To prevent such database and link decay, we have initiated a continuous community annotation project with the active involvement of EV researchers. The EV research community can set a gold standard in data sharing with Vesiclepedia, which could evolve as a primary resource for the field.

TL;DR: It is shown that huntingtin specifically enhances vesicular transport of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) along microtubules, indicating that a key role of huntingtin is to promote BDNF transport and suggesting that loss of this function might contribute to pathogenesis.
