The most comprehensive neuroanatomical atlas on the expression of three glycoprotein hormone receptors, namely, TSHRs, LHCGRs, and FSHRs, was mapped using RNAscope, a technology that allows the detection of mRNA at single-transcript level.

Challenges faced by the declining global workforce of young physician-scientists are highlighted, and a unified view on how to revive and reinvigorate this critical pool of dual-trained physicians worldwide is provided.
Genetic and biochemical analyses uncover a dichotomy of ERK pathway functions in osteoblasts, whereby ERK activation promotes the early differentiation of osteoblast precursors, but inhibits the subsequent differentiation of committed osteoblasts via mTOR-mediated regulation of mitochondrial function and SGK1.
IL-33 plays an important role in the initiation of labor by leading to stress of the ER via an influx of calcium ions in human uterine smooth muscle cells.
Experiments in genetically altered mice reveal that microglia play an important role in the neurological damage associated with neuro-nopathic Gaucher disease.

In neurodegeneration of Gaucher disease, glucosylceramides trigger neuroinflammation via attrition of homeostatic microglia and transition to lipid-laden damage-associated microglia concurrently with infiltration of diverse immune cells including activated NK cells and CCR2+ macrophages, ameliorated by substrate reduction therapy.
Under metabolic syndrome, joint subchondral preosteoclasts acquire a senescence-associated secretome, which causes a rapid structural alteration of subchondral bone and contributes to the development of osteoarthritis.
