Comparative Analysis of Heat Exposure‐Induced Molecular Changes in Two Turtle Species with Contrasting Thermal Adaptations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum is highlighted in response to heat stress in Platysternon megacephalum. Under heat stress, the up‐regulation of genes such as CHOP in protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum pathway, along with the suppression of energy and lipid metabolism and the up‐regulation of JARID2 expression, leads to ...

Transcriptional profiling of single fiber cells in a transgenic paradigm of an inherited childhood cataract reveals absence of molecular heterogeneity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Our recent single-cell transcriptomic analysis has demonstrated that heterogeneous transcriptional activity attends molecular transition from the nascent to terminally differentiated fiber cells in the developing mouse lens.

Species Limits and Phylogeography of North American Cricket Frogs (Acris: Hylidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Cricket frogs are widely distributed across the eastern United States and two species, the northern cricket frog (Acris crepitans) and the southern cricket frog (A. gryllus) are currently recognized. We generated a phylogenetic hypothesis for Acris using

Radiopaque Crystalline, Non-Crystalline and Nanostructured Bioceramics

open access: yesMaterials, 2022
Radiopacity is sometimes an essential characteristic of biomaterials that can help clinicians perform follow-ups during pre- and post-interventional radiological imaging. Due to their chemical composition and structure, most bioceramics are inherently radiopaque but can still be doped/mixed with radiopacifiers to increase their visualization during or ...

Anterior chamber flare and central macular thickness after trabeculectomy versus after phacoemulsification

open access: yesActa Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To compare the inflammatory response in the eye after trabeculectomy to after phacoemulsification, focusing on anterior chamber flare (AC flare) and central macular thickness (CMT). Methods Data from 436 participants in two randomized controlled trials were analysed.

Mutations in human αA-crystallin/sHSP affect subunit exchange interaction with αB-crystallin. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mutation in αA-crystallin contributes to the development of congenital cataract in humans. Heterooligomerization of αA-crystallin and αB-crystallin is essential for maintaining transparency in the eye lens.

Mechanism of action of VP1-001 in cryAB(R120G)-associated and age-related cataracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
PurposeWe previously identified an oxysterol, VP1-001 (also known as compound 29), that partially restores the transparency of lenses with cataracts. To understand the mechanism of VP1-001, we tested the ability of its enantiomer, ent-VP1-001, to bind ...

New Insights on Heat Shock Proteins as Regulators of Reactive Oxygen Species Across Various Stressors in Diseases

open access: yesCell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Living beings are persistently challenged by stress. Stress can be induced by internal stressors and external stressors. External stressors, including radiation, heat, heavy metals, nutritional imbalances, infections, and psychological stress, can induce protein denaturation, leading to misfolded or aggregated proteins.

Impact of Subunit Composition on the Uptake of α-Crystallin by Lens and Retina. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Misfolded protein aggregation, including cataract, cause a significant amount of blindness worldwide. α-Crystallin is reported to bind misfolded proteins and prevent their aggregation.

Roles of TGFβ and FGF signals during growth and differentiation of mouse lens epithelial cell in vitro. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling pathways play important roles in the proliferation and differentiation of lens epithelial cells (LECs) during development.
