Carbamazepine induces a bioenergetics disruption to microvascular endothelial cells from the blood-brain barrier (2020)
Journal Article
Alelwani, W., Elmorsy, E., Kattan, S. W., Babteen, N. A., Alnajeebi, A. M., Al-Ghafari, A., & Carter, W. G. (2020). Carbamazepine induces a bioenergetics disruption to microvascular endothelial cells from the blood-brain barrier. Toxicology Letters, 333, 184-191. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.toxlet.2020.08.006

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely employed anti-seizure medication that crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to exert its anti-convulsant action. The effects of CBZ on components of the BBB have yet to be completely delineated. Hence the current study...

Overexpression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy (2020)
Journal Article
Bass, J. J., Nakhuda, A., Deane, C. S., Brook, M. S., Wilkinson, D. J., Phillips, B. E., …Atherton, P. J. (2020). Overexpression of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Molecular Metabolism, 42, Article 101059. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.molmet.2020.101059

Objective The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) has been positively associated with skeletal muscle mass, function and regeneration. Mechanistic studies have focused upon loss of the receptor, with in vivo whole-body knockout models demonstrating reduced myo...
