Opposing Expressions of Nidogen-1 and Cdc42 Genes in the Development of Liver Cirrhosis in Patients with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease [PDF]
Background and Objective: The roles of Nidogen-1 and Cdc42 genes as significant factors in the metabolism of the extracellular matrix have been demonstrated in the fibrosis of various tissues. This study investigates the gene expressions of Nidogen-1 and

Loss of Cdc42 leads to defects in synaptic plasticity and remote memory recall
Cdc42 is a signaling protein important for reorganization of actin cytoskeleton and morphogenesis of cells. However, the functional role of Cdc42 in synaptic plasticity and in behaviors such as learning and memory are not well understood.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

ABSTRACT Despite substantial clinical benefit from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), advanced melanoma remains challenging due to frequent treatment resistance. Resistance may be intrinsic (primary) or emerge over time (secondary). Biomarkers predicting distinct resistance phenotypes before therapy are lacking.

Spontaneous Cdc42 polarization independent of GDI-mediated extraction and actin-based trafficking.
The small Rho-family GTPase Cdc42 is critical for cell polarization and polarizes spontaneously in absence of upstream spatial cues. Spontaneous polarization is thought to require dynamic Cdc42 recycling through Guanine nucleotide Dissociation Inhibitor (

Regulation of Cdc42 for polarized growth in budding yeast
The Rho GTPase Cdc42 is a central regulator of cell polarity in diverse cell types. The activity of Cdc42 is dynamically controlled in time and space to enable distinct polarization events, which generally occur along a single axis in response to spatial

ABSTRACT Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) exhibits marked male predominance with male‐to‐female ratios reaching 8.5:1, yet the molecular basis underlying this sex disparity remains poorly characterized. We analyzed 92 EAC specimens using mass spectrometry–based proteomics, comprising 47 female and 45 male tumors from treatment‐naïve patients ...
