Is Enhancer Function Driven by Protein–Protein Interactions? From Bacteria to Leukemia

BioEssays, EarlyView.
Enhancers are key regulatory elements that are conceptually conserved from bacteria to humans. Enhancer dysregulation is common in cancers, including leukemia. We argue that highly specific protein–protein interactions, including transcription factors, mediate enhancer‐promoter proximity to allow enhancer‐bound factors to directly act on RNA polymerase

Loss of control as a transdiagnostic feature in obesity‐related eating behaviours: A systematic review

European Eating Disorders Review, Volume 31, Issue 1, Page 24-45, January 2023., 2023

However, there has been limited research on the transdiagnostic nature of LOC in this area. The primary aim of this study was to systematically review disordered eating behaviours and measures of LOC in clinical ...
