Non-physiologic interaction of MG53 with insulin receptor and lack of evidence for MG53's role in controlling insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation in muscle, heart and liver tissues.

This study investigates whether MG53 interacts with the insulin receptor and affects Akt phosphorylation in muscle, heart, and liver tissues, finding low binding affinity and no effect on insulin signaling.

A Checking Model of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Based on the Hypothalamic Defensive System Against a Potential Threat

This study shows that activating PeF UCN3 neurons in mice induces OCD-like checking behaviors, supporting a role for potential threats in OCD pathophysiology.

C-type natriuretic peptide facilitates autonomic Ca2+ entry in growth plate chondrocytes for stimulating bone growth

This study identifies a signaling pathway involving CNP, NPR2, PKG, BK channels, and TRPM7 that facilitates Ca2+ entry in growth plate chondrocytes to stimulate bone growth.
