Molecular regulation of calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR)-mediated signaling
- First Published: 29 April 2024

The CaSR interactome characterizes the life cycle of CaSR and its signaling capacity. (1) Extracellular calcium activates CaSR and (2) mediates intracellular G-protein-coupled signaling, leading to ER calcium release by generating IP3 through phospholipase C (PLC) hydrolysis of PIP2. Treatment with extracellular calcium and alterations in ER calcium enrich the CaSR interactors, contributing to various processes within the ER (zoomed in). These processes include (3) cotranslational translocation, (4) quality control of the calnexin/calreticulin cycle, (5) ER exit of well-folded proteins, and (6) degradation of misfolded proteins. (7) The well-folded CaSR is trafficked to the cell membrane through agonist-driven insertion, where it can be (8) desensitized and (9) enter the cell through endocytosis. The endocytosed CaSR can either be (10) recycled back to the cell membrane or degraded in the lysosome.
Pathways to chronic disease detection and prediction: Mapping the potential of machine learning to the pathophysiological processes while navigating ethical challenges
- First Published: 09 June 2024

Laboratory methods and application of machine learning for disease prediction and diagnosis. Diagnosis of diseases begins with screening a population, sample collection, processing, and quantitation with molecular/analytical methods (e.g., polymerase chain reaction [PCR], liquid chromatography mass spectrophotometry [LC-MS], high-performance liquid chromatography [HPLC], sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis [SDS-PAGE]), and immunofluorescent macroscopy among others. Machine learning algorithms can discover patterns in the data generated from analytical methods and make predictions.

Physical activity, long-term fine particulate matter exposure and type 2 diabetes incidence: A prospective cohort study
- First Published: 30 May 2024

Exposure-response relations of physical activity (PA) with type 2 diabetes were stratified by different levels of PM2.5 exposure. The HRs for type 2 diabetes associated with PA volume (A) and PA intensity (B) were estimated by restricted cubic-spline regression under low and high levels of PM2.5. Solid lines represent HRs, and the shaded areas represent 95% confidence intervals. The models were adjusted for age, sex, urbanization, geographical region, education level, smoking status, alcohol drinking, family history of type 2 diabetes, body mass index, and baseline blood glucose level.
