Gene-Drug Interaction in Stroke
Stroke is the third cause of mortality and one of most frequent causes of long-term neurological disability, as well as a complex disease that results from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors.

Novel Nucleotide Variations, Haplotypes Structure and Associations with Growth Related Traits of Goat AT Motif-Binding Factor () Gene [PDF]
The AT motif-binding factor (ATBF1) not only interacts with protein inhibitor of activated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) (PIAS3) to suppress STAT3 signaling regulating embryo early development and cell differentiation, but is

Genetically encoded indicators of neuronal activity [PDF]
Experimental efforts to understand how the brain represents, stores and processes information require high-fidelity recordings of multiple different forms of neural activity within functional circuits. Thus, creating improved technologies for large-scale recordings of neural activity in the live brain is a crucial goal in neuroscience.

Accurate timekeeping is controlled by a cycling activator in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Transcriptional feedback loops are key to circadian clock function in many organisms. Current models of the Arabidopsis circadian network consist of several coupled feedback loops composed almost exclusively of transcriptional repressors.

Identification and functional study of GATA4 gene regulatory variants in type 2 diabetes mellitus
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a common and complex disease. Dysfunction of pancreatic β cells, which cannot release sufficient insulin, plays a central role in T2D. Genetics plays a critical role in T2D etiology. Transcription factor GATA4

Identification of low-frequency TRAF3IP2 coding variants in psoriatic arthritis patients and functional characterization [PDF]
Introduction: In recent genome-wide association studies for psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and psoriasis vulgaris, common coding variants in the TRAF3IP2 gene were identified to contribute to susceptibility to both disease entities.

Generation and characterization of keap1a- and keap1b-knockout zebrafish
The Keap1–Nrf2 pathway is an evolutionarily conserved mechanism that protects cells from oxidative stress and electrophiles. Under homeostatic conditions, Keap1 interacts with Nrf2 and leads to its rapid proteasomal degradation, but when cells are ...

The yeast PUF protein Puf5 has Pop2-independent roles in response to DNA replication stress. [PDF]
PUFs are RNA binding proteins that promote mRNA deadenylation and decay and inhibit translation. Yeast Puf5 is the prototype for studying PUF-dependent gene repression.
