An excess of gene expression divergence on the X chromosome in Drosophila embryos; implications for the faster-X hypothesis [PDF]
PLoS Genetics (2012)8(12):e1003200, 2012 The X chromosome is present as a single copy in the heterogametic sex, and this hemizygosity is expected to drive unusual patterns of evolution on the X relative to the autosomes. For example, the hemizgosity of the X may lead to a lower chromosomal effective population size compared to the autosomes suggesting that the X might be more strongly ...

Chromosome Segregation: Seeing Is Believing [PDF]
Current Biology, 2005 For chromosome segregation in mitosis, each centromere directs assembly of a complex, proteinaceous structure - the kinetochore, which connects the chromosome to microtubules of the mitotic spindle. A recent study has provided important new insights into the mechanism by which kinetochores capture spindle microtubules.

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022 Abstract Rodent models of epilepsy remain the cornerstone of research into the mechanisms underlying genetic epilepsy. Reproducibility of experiments using these rodent models, occurring across a diversity of laboratories and commercial vendors, remains an issue impacting the cost‐effectiveness and scientific rigor of the studies performed.

Super-Resolution Mapping of Neuronal Circuitry With an Index-Optimized Clearing Agent
Cell Reports, 2016 Super-resolution imaging deep inside tissues has been challenging, as it is extremely sensitive to light scattering and spherical aberrations. Here, we report an optimized optical clearing agent for high-resolution fluorescence imaging (SeeDB2).

Translating Muscle RNAseq Into the Clinic for the Diagnosis of Muscle Diseases
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Approximately half of patients with hereditary myopathies remain without a definitive genetic diagnosis after DNA next‐generation sequencing (NGS). Here, we implemented transcriptome analysis of muscle biopsies as a complementary diagnostic tool for patients with muscle disease but no definitive genetic diagnosis after exome ...

Multimodal effects of small molecule ROCK and LIMK inhibitors on mitosis, and their implication as anti-leukemia agents. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Accurate chromosome segregation is vital for cell viability. Many cancer cells show chromosome instability (CIN) due to aberrant expression of the genes involved in chromosome segregation.

Spindle mechanics and chromosome segregation
Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2019 The Minisymposium “Spindle Mechanics and Chromosome Segregation” featured new and exciting findings related to the spindle and chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. It covered a range of topics including spindle architecture and mechanics, kinetochore–microtubule interactions, chromosome dynamics at mitotic entry and exit, as well as mitotic errors ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Injectable pH responsive conductive hydrogel for intelligent delivery of metformin and exosomes to alleviate myocardial ischemia‐reperfusion injury. The hydrogel responds to the weakly acidic microenvironment of ischemic injury and can significantly reduce the production of intracellular ROS and enhance cardiac conduction, thereby resisting apoptosis ...

The role of CSE1L expression in cervical lymph node metastasis of larynx tumors
Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2021 Introduction: According to international reports, 30–40% of all head and neck cancers are larynx cancers, comprising 1–2.5% of all cancer types. Cervical nodal involvement has been reported to be 40% and 65% in T3 and T4 cases, respectively.
