"The findings of our study demonstrate that α-KG alleviates the pathogenesis of lupus and inhibits the activation and differentiation of B cells by increasing the expression of CD39."
α-Ketoglutarate alleviates the pathogenesis of lupus and inhibits the activation and differentiation of B cells by promoting the expression of CD39
The abnormal activation and differentiation of B cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG), a key metabolite in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, has ...

"Once the presence of myeloneuropathy is established, all these patients should be subjected to a battery of tests."

"Blood levels of vitamin B12, folic acid, vitamins A, D, E, and K, along with levels of iron, methylmalonic acid, homocysteine, and calcium should be assessed."

"- PIEZO2 regulates renin levels in mice
- Calcium oscillations in renin cells depend on PIEZO2
- PIEZO2 regulates induction of the RAAS during blood volume challenge
- PIEZO2 functions in parallel with other regulators of renin and the RAAS"
Renal PIEZO2 is an essential regulator of renin
The force-sensing ion channel PIEZO2 is an essential regulator of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a pathway that controls blood volume. Loss of PIEZO2 in the kidney cells that produce...
