Computing Pathways to Systems Biology: Key Contributions of Computational Methods in Pathway Identification [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Understanding large molecular networks consisting of entities such as genes, proteins or RNAs that interact in complex ways to drive the cellular machinery has been an active focus of systems biology. Computational approaches have played a key role in systems biology by complementing theoretical and experimental approaches.

Interaction Between the Metalloprotease ADAMTS-13 and the Proteins of the Alternative Pathway of the Complement System [PDF]

, 2017
Von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein that has a central role in hemostasis, has been shown to interact with complement components. However results are contrasting and inconclusive.

Evaluation of KRAS and NRAS mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer: an 8‐year study of 10 754 patients in Turkey

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This nationwide study evaluated KRAS and NRAS mutations in 10 754 Turkish patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The results revealed a mutation frequency of 51.1%, with 46.6% having KRAS mutations, 4.5% having NRAS mutations, and 48.5% being wild‐type for both.

Complement depletion during haemofiltration with polyacrilonitrile membranes [PDF]

, 2017
Background Polyacrylonitrile (PAN, AN69®) dialysis membranes have been shown to improve the outcome of critically ill patients. Factor D is an essential enzyme of the alternative pathway of complement and is increased during renal failure.

Loss of proton‐sensing GPR4 reduces tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
G protein‐coupled receptor 4 (GPR4) is a pH‐sensing receptor activated by acidic pH. GPR4 expression is increased in patients with inflammatory bowel disease who are at high risk of developing colorectal cancer. In mouse models, loss of GPR4 attenuated tumor progression. This correlated with increased IL2 and natural killer cell activity.

Comprehensive Detection of Genes Causing a Phenotype using Phenotype Sequencing and Pathway Analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Discovering all the genetic causes of a phenotype is an important goal in functional genomics. In this paper we combine an experimental design for multiple independent detections of the genetic causes of a phenotype, with a high-throughput sequencing analysis that maximizes sensitivity for comprehensively identifying them.

Dose‐dependent induction of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in 3D melanoma models by non‐thermal plasma treatment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Non‐thermal plasma treatment of melanoma cells induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose‐dependent fashion. This report highlights the critical need to further investigate potential adverse effects of non‐thermal plasma for cancer therapy and to optimize treatment parameters for clinical translation. Despite the promising results of non‐

Predictive coding underlies adaptation in the subcortical sensory pathway [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
The subcortical sensory pathways are the fundamental channels for mapping the outside world to our minds. Sensory pathways efficiently transmit information by adapting neural responses to the local statistics of the sensory input. The longstanding mechanistic explanation for this adaptive behaviour is that neuronal habituation scales activity to the ...

Monovalent ions modulate the flux through multiple folding pathways of an RNA pseudoknot [PDF]

, 2017
The functions of RNA pseudoknots (PKs), which are minimal tertiary structural motifs and an integral part of several ribozymes and ribonucleoprotein complexes, are determined by their structure, stability and dynamics. Therefore, it is important to elucidate the general principles governing their thermodynamics/folding mechanisms.

The role of complement in Streptococcus pneumoniae-associated haemolytic uraemic syndrome [PDF]

, 2013
Background. Atypical forms of haemolytic uraemic syndrome (aHUS) include HUS caused by defects in the regulation of alternative complement pathway and HUS linked to neuraminidase- producing pathogens, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. Increasing data
