Analysis of Population Structure and Selection Signatures in Two Iraqi Fat‐Tailed Sheep Breeds

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2025.
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.

Matrix metalloproteinase inhibition protects against junctophilin‐2 proteolysis during doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 17, Page 4103-4121, September 2025.
Abstract Background and Purpose Treatment of cancer patients with anthracyclines is known to cause dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity through several mechanisms including enhanced oxidative stress, ultimately resulting in defective excitation–contraction coupling.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in CAPN1 and CAST genes with beef tenderness from Spanish commercial feedlots

open access: yesCzech Journal of Animal Science, 2013
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 ...

The Life of a Kidney Podocyte

open access: yesActa Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 8, August 2025.
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

Validation Study of SNPs in CAPN1-CAST Genes on the Tenderness of Muscles (Longissimus thoracis and Semimembranosus) in Hanwoo (Korean Cattle)

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Previous studies demonstrated that polymorphisms in the μ-calpain (CAPN1) and calpastatin (CAST) genes had significant effects on meat tenderness in different cattle populations.

Calpains and Calpastatin in Human Blood Platelets

open access: yesPlatelets, 1995
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

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 25, July 3, 2025.
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2011
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

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 7, Page 2157-2169, July 2025.
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.
