Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Erythrocyte Ankyrin Promoter Mutations Associated with Recessive Hereditary Spherocytosis Cause Significant Abnormalities in Ankyrin Expression [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2001
Ankyrin defects are the most common cause of hereditary spherocytosis (HS). In several kindreds with recessive, ankyrin-deficient HS, mutations have been identified in the ankyrin promoter that have been proposed to decrease ankyrin synthesis. We analyzed the effects of two mutations, -108T to C and -108T to C in cis with -153G to A, on ankyrin ...

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal 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).

Reduction in Synaptic Vesicle Protein Abundance but Increased Amounts of Nsg2 and Lpcat1 in Cerebral Cortices Without the Endosomal SNARE Proteins Vti1a and Vti1b

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Absence of the endosomal SNAREs vti1a and vti1b results in perinatal death and severe neuronal phenotypes in mice, while lack of one of these proteins results in minor phenotypes. Proteomic differences were investigated to obtain a deeper insight into processes in which vti1a and vti1b are involved.

TGF-β-Induced Phosphorylation of Usp9X Stabilizes Ankyrin-G and Regulates Dendritic Spine Development and Maintenance

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Signaling by the cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) has been implicated in a multitude of biological functions; however, TGF-β signaling, particularly in the CNS, remains largely unexplored.

Molecular mimicry, genetic homology, and gene sharing proteomic “molecular fingerprints” using an EBV (Epstein-Barr virus)-derived microarray as a potential diagnostic method in autoimmune disease [PDF]

, 2018
EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) and other human DNA viruses are associated with autoimmune syndromes in epidemiologic studies. In this work, immunoglobulin G response to EBV-encoded proteins which share regions with human immune response proteins from the human

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

Insect 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.

Structure of the full-length TRPV2 channel by cryo-EM. [PDF]

, 2016
Transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins form a superfamily Ca(2+)-permeable cation channels regulated by a range of chemical and physical stimuli. Structural analysis of a 'minimal' TRP vanilloid subtype 1 (TRPV1) elucidated a mechanism of channel ...

In‐depth analysis of osmotic gradient ektacytometry parameters across different genotypes in hereditary spherocytosis

British Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
Summary Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is a hereditary haemolytic anaemia, caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding red blood cell membrane proteins. Osmotic gradient ektacytometry evaluates red cell deformability and hydration and is increasingly used in the diagnosis of HS.
