Glucocorticoid Receptor and Adipocyte Biology. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Glucocorticoids are steroid hormones that play a key role in metabolic adaptations during stress, such as fasting and starvation, in order to maintain plasma glucose levels.

The piranha genome provides molecular insight associated to its unique feeding behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The piranha enjoys notoriety due to its infamous predatory behavior but much is still not understood about its evolutionary origins and the underlying molecular mechanisms for its unusual feeding biology.

Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals cellular heterogeneity and phenotypic transitions of smooth muscle cells in aortic dissection

open access: yesiMeta, EarlyView.
We utilized single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) to investigate cellular heterogeneity and signaling networks in aortic dissection (AD) tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The analysis identified five smooth muscle cell (SMC) subtypes, with SMC2 linked to fibrosis and SMC3 associated with inflammation.

Hierarchy and assortativity as new tools for affinity investigation: the case of the TBA aptamer-ligand complex

open access: yes, 2017
Aptamers are single stranded DNA, RNA or peptide sequences having the ability to bind a variety of specific targets (proteins, molecules as well as ions).

Kaposiform hemangioendothelioma: Diagnosis and treatment

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Vascular endothelial growth factor‐C (VEGF‐C)/vascular endothelial growth factor receptor‐3 (VEGFR‐3) and angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2)/tyrosine kinase with immunoglobulin‐like and EGF‐like domain 2 (TIE2) signaling pathways play an important role in lymphangiogenesis.

Pioglitazone administration alters ovarian gene expression in aging obese lethal yellow mice

open access: yesReproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008
Background Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are often treated with insulin-sensitizing agents, e.g. thiazolidinediones (TZD), which have been shown to reduce androgen levels and improved ovulatory function.

mRNA Expression of Ovine Angiopoietin-like Protein 4 Gene in Adipose Tissues [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2016
Angiopoietin-like protein 4 (ANGPTL4) is involved in a variety of functions, including lipoprotein metabolism and angiogenesis. To reveal the role of ANGPTL4 in fat metabolism of sheep, ovine ANGPTL4 mRNA expression was analyzed in seven adipose tissues ...

Brain Pericytes and Wnt/β‐Catenin Signaling Induce Functional Blood–Brain Barrier Phenotype in Human iPSC‐Derived Model

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
This study shows that human iPSC‐derived endothelial cells acquire a functional blood–brain barrier phenotype when co‐cultured with brain pericytes and stimulated with CHIR‐99021, a Wnt/β‐catenin activator. This model recapitulates key barrier properties, inflammatory responses, and transcriptomic features of the native human BBB, offering new ...

Repression of glucocorticoid-stimulated angiopoietin-like 4 gene transcription by insulin. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Angiopoietin-like 4 (Angptl4) is a glucocorticoid receptor (GR) primary target gene in hepatocytes and adipocytes. It encodes a secreted protein that inhibits extracellular LPL and promotes adipocyte lipolysis.

ANGPT2 Drives Thyroid Cancer Progression Through PI3K/AKT Signaling and Correlates With Poor Prognosis and Immune Infiltration

open access: yesWorld Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Angiopoietin‐2 (ANGPT2) is known to participate in tumor progression and immune modulation across multiple malignancies. Nevertheless, its expression pattern, prognostic value, and biological function in thyroid cancer (THCA) have not been comprehensively investigated.
