Discovery of Novel Pain Regulators Through Integration of Cross‐Species High‐Throughput Data
Cross‐species analysis was used to identify novel pain mediators based on human DRG expression profiles and RNA‐seq data from a mouse model of neuropathic pain injury. ABSTRACT Aims Chronic pain is an impeding condition that affects day‐to‐day life and poses a substantial economic burden, surpassing many other health conditions.

Patterns of subnet usage reveal distinct scales of regulation in the transcriptional regulatory network of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The set of regulatory interactions between genes, mediated by transcription factors, forms a species' transcriptional regulatory network (TRN). By comparing this network with measured gene expression data one can identify functional properties of the TRN and gain general insight into transcriptional control.

The lower bound on the precision of transcriptional regulation [PDF]
The diffusive arrival of transcription factors at the promoter sites on the DNA sets a lower bound on how accurately a cell can regulate its protein levels. Using results from the literature on diffusion-influenced reactions, we derive an analytical expression for the lower bound on the precision of transcriptional regulation.

Abstract Osteoporosis (OP) is a prevalent bone disease characterized by reduced bone density and quality, increasing fragility and fracture risk. Osteoclast (OC) activity and circadian rhythm play a role in the pathogenesis of OP. Melatonin is a circadian regulator that affects bone metabolism, but its molecular mechanism has not been studied in detail.

Stochastic analysis of bistability in coherent mixed feedback loops combining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations [PDF]
Mixed feedback loops combining transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulations are common in cellular regulatory networks. They consist of two genes, encoding a transcription factor and a small non-coding RNA (sRNA), which mutually regulate each other's expression.

This study demonstrated the critical roles of C3/C3aR in developing AILI. In APAP‐treated mice, C3/C3aR signaling upregulated the expression and phosphorylation of transcription factors STATs and c‐Fos in hepatic Kupffer cells, which in turn increased PDPN expression, promoting platelet recruitment to the Kupffer cells via the interaction of PDPN and ...

Reliable scaling of Position Weight Matrices for binding strength comparisons between transcription factors [PDF]
Scoring DNA sequences against Position Weight Matrices (PWMs) is a widely adopted method to identify putative transcription factor binding sites. While common bioinformatics tools produce scores that can reflect the binding strength between a specific transcription factor and the DNA, these scores are not directly comparable between different ...

Resetting of the Human Circadian Melatonin Rhythm by Ambient Hypoxia
ABSTRACT Circadian clocks in the body drive daily cycles in physiology and behavior. A master clock in the brain maintains synchrony with the environmental day–night cycle and uses internal signals to keep clocks in other tissues aligned. Work in cell cultures uncovered cyclic changes in tissue oxygenation that may serve to reset and synchronize ...

Significance A recent exciting development in cancer therapy involves using a patient’s own immune system to attack cancers. The attack is carried out by CD8+ T cells that destroy the malignant cells; after infiltrating tumors, however, these cells ...
