Testicular microcalcifications arise secondary to local alterations in mineral homeostasis, which in combination with impaired Sertoli cell function and reduced levels of mineralization inhibitors facilitate deposition of hydroxyapatite.
Islet cholesterol levels determine GLP-1R function, with several cholesterol-binding sites mapped in active vs inactive receptors and one, containing Val229, shown to control GLP-1R behaviour in beta cell models.
Disruption of RAS–p110α signalling in macrophages impairs both the initiation and resolution of inflammatory responses, revealing a critical regulatory role in immune function and inflammation control.
