ACAP-A/B are ArfGAP homologs in dictyostelium involved in sporulation but not in chemotaxis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
Arfs and Arf GTPase-activating proteins (ArfGAPs) are regulators of membrane trafficking and actin dynamics in mammalian cells. In this study, we identified a primordial Arf, ArfA, and two ArfGAPs (ACAP-A/B) containing BAR, PH, ArfGAP and Ankyrin repeat ...

MicroRNA‑34a mediates atrial fibrillation through regulation of Ankyrin‑B expression

open access: yesMolecular Medicine Reports, 2018
Atrial fibrillation (AF) has a high prevalence and recurrence rate, and is associated with substantial mortality. However, its underlying mechanisms are not thoroughly understood. Increasing attention has been paid to the roles of microRNAs (miRs) in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease, including miR‑1 and miR‑133 (in the electrophysiological ...

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).

Hydroxamic Acids as HDAC Inhibitor Drug Leads for Malaria

open access: yesMedicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a global health threat, with an estimated 282 million cases and 610,000 malaria‐associated deaths reported in 2024. Most mortality is due to infection by Plasmodium falciparum parasites, with the highest burden occurring in Sub‐Saharan Africa.

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Genetic risk factors in Finnish patients with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To study the genetic risk factors of Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) in the Finnish population using hospital‐based and large biobank cohorts. Methods We genotyped a cohort of 107 Finnish patients with FECD for the primary associated genetic risk factor, the TCF4 (CTG)>50 expansion, and studied their clinical phenotype.
