Objective: To isolate nestin-negative outer root sheath cells (ORSCs) from adult healthy volunteers and investigate the neuronal differentiation of these cells.

Summary: The present study did not verify the value of neural differentiation into sphere-forming cells for therapeutic application, however, the differentiation of nestin-negative human hair follicle ORSCs into neurons in vitro may serve as a theoretical underpinning for neurodegenerative diseases and regenerative medicine.

Nat Commun 8:15262. doi: 10.1038/ncomms15262 PMID: 28497782

Objective: To investigate the contribution of Raf genes in tumor progression, from the onset of benign tumors to malignant tumor maintenance, in NRAS-induced mouse melanoma models

Summary: BRAF expression is required for ERK activation and nevi development, demonstrating a critical role in the early stages of NRAS-driven melanoma. After melanoma formation, single BRAF or CRAF ablation is not sufficient to block tumor growth, showing redundant functions for RAF kinases. Proliferation of resistant cells emerging in the absence of BRAF and CRAF remains dependent on ARAF-mediated ERK activation.

Objective: To explore the effects of inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway on chronic neuropathic pain (CNP) and spinal microglia in a rat model of chronic constriction injury (CCI).

Summary: Inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signal pathway may alleviate CNP and reduce microglia and GFAP and NGF expressions in marrow in a rat model of CCI.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 114(18):E3709-E3718. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1619406114 PMID: 28420791

Objective: To identify adult enteric neural precursor cell (ENPC) that would enable a new understanding of the pathogenesis of enteric neuromuscular diseases as well as the development of novel regenerative therapies.

Summary: The results show significant turnover and neurogenesis of adult enteric neurons and provide a paradigm for understanding the enteric nervous system in health and disease.

Summary: The authors used a mouse model of neurotoxic motoneuron depletion to study the role of Sonic hedgehog and TDP-43 in the compensatory changes occurring after the lesion. The injection of cholera toxin-B saporin (CTB-SAP; Cat. #IT-14) into the gastrocnemius muscle caused a partial motoneuron death accompanied by an impairment of locomotion.  Motor activity was significantly restored as soon as one month later.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of extensive water-soluble chitosan (EWSC) in Allergic rhinitis (AR).

Summary: The results suggest that NGF- and TH2-related cytokines created a positive feedback loop amplifying allergic inflammation in the upper-airway epithelial cells, and EWSC attenuated allergic inflammation and epithelial cell damage, by inhibiting NGF biosynthesis during allergic TH2 immune responses.
