Analysis of Population Structure and Selection Signatures in Two Iraqi Fat‐Tailed Sheep Breeds
Awassi sheep exhibit clear genetic separation, whereas Hamdani sheep show an admixed profile, with iHS, ROH and Tajima's D analyses identifying breed‐specific candidate genes. Enrichment in immune response, hormone regulation and cellular signalling pathways highlights adaptive evolution and guides future breeding and conservation.

Frequencies of two SNPs in the μ-calpain (CAPN1) and calpastatin (CAST) genes in local and foreign commercial cross-breeds used in south-western Spain (Charolais, Limousin, and Retinta) were evaluated and the association of these markers with texture ...

ABSTRACT Aim Podocytes, highly specialized epithelial cells located in the glomerulus of the kidney, are essential to the filtration barrier that ensures separation of blood and urine. These cells exhibit a unique architecture, characterized by an intricate network of foot processes interconnected by slit diaphragms, which serve as a critical selective

Calpains and Calpastatin in Human Blood Platelets
Calpain, a Ca(2+) activated intracellular protease and its endogeneous protein inhibitor, calpastatin are abundant in platelets. The structure and enzymological properties of calpain, including its isozymes, and of calpastatin in platelets have been fully characterized.

Calpain‐2‐Mediated Endothelial Focal Adhesion Disruption in Thoracic Aortic Dissection
The elevated expression of Capn2 in endothelial cells activates focal adhesion signaling by cleaving Talin1 and assembling Itgav, which compromises the integrity of the endothelial barrier and induces vascular inflammation. Inhibition of calpain through both pharmacological and transgenic approaches has effectively suppressed the onset and progression ...

Calpain mediates epithelial cell microvillar effacement by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli
A member of the attaching and effacing (AE) family of pathogens, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) induces dramatic changes to the intestinal cell cytoskeleton, including effacement of microvilli.

Immunity and neuroinflammation in early stages of life and epilepsy
Abstract The immune system is crucial for the correct brain development, and recent findings also point toward central control of immune response. As the immune system is not fully developed at birth, the early years become an important window for infections and for the development of epilepsy.
