Genetic factors for hematological traits in pigs
Abstract Complete blood count with differential is a critical diagnostic tool for evaluating the physiological and health status of individuals by analyzing white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. While extensively used in human medicine, the application of complete blood count biomarkers in pigs remain limited.

Phosphate in Physiological and Pathological Mineralization: Important yet Often Unheeded
Phosphate serves as a building block for physiological mineralization, and as a signaling molecule that regulates the activity of mineralizing cells. The disturbance in these processes could induce a series of pathological mineralization, with abnormal mineralization of hard tissues and ectopic mineralization of soft tissues being the most ...

Gene expression and functional annotation of the human and mouse choroid plexus epithelium [PDF]
Background: The choroid plexus epithelium (CPE) is a lobed neuro-epithelial structure that forms the outer blood-brain barrier. The CPE protrudes into the brain ventricles and produces the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which is crucial for brain homeostasis.

Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid with a myo‐inositol head group, can form seven different phosphoinositides (PItds) by phosphorylation at inositol carbons 3, 4 and/or 5. Over 50 kinases and phosphatases participate in PItd metabolism, creating an interconnected PItd network that allows for precise temporal and spatial regulation of ...

Genetics update: monogenetics, polygene disorders and the quest for modifying genes [PDF]
The genetic channelopathies are a broad collection of diseases. Many ion channel genes demonstrate wide phenotypic pleiotropy, but nonetheless concerted efforts have been made to characterise genotype-phenotype relationships.

Abstract Autosomal dominant Fanconi syndrome due to a GATM variant (GATM‐FS), causes accumulation of misfolded arginine‐glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) in proximal renal tubules leading to cellular injury. GATM‐FS presents during childhood and progresses to end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) in adults.

MiR-501-3p Forms a Feedback Loop with FOS, MDFI, and MyoD to Regulate C2C12 Myogenesis
Skeletal muscle plays an essential role in maintaining body energy homeostasis and body flexibility. Loss of muscle mass leads to slower wound healing and recovery from illness, physical disability, poor quality of life, and higher health care costs. So,

Characterization of Novel Promoter and Enhancer Elements of the Mouse Homologue of the Dent Disease Gene, CLCN5, Implicated in X-Linked Hereditary Nephrolithiasis [PDF]
The murine homologue of the human chloride channel gene, CLCN5, defects in which are responsible for Dent disease, has been cloned and characterized. We isolated the entire coding region of mouse Clcn5 cDNA and approximately 45 kb of genomic sequence embracing the gene.
