The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

How do eubacterial organisms manage aggregation-prone proteome? [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/3k3]

F1000Research, 2014
Eubacterial genomes vary considerably in their nucleotide composition. The percentage of genetic material constituted by guanosine and cytosine (GC) nucleotides ranges from 20% to 70%.

Thermodynamic properties of enzyme-catalyzed reactions involving cytosine, uracil, thymine, and their nucleosides and nucleotides [PDF]

Biophysical Chemistry, 2007
The standard Gibbs energies of formation of species in the cytidine triphosphate series, uridine triphosphate series, and thymidine triphosphate series have been calculated on the basis of the convention that Delta(f)G=0 for the neutral form of cytidine in aqueous solution at 298.15 K at zero ionic strength. This makes it possible to calculate apparent

DNA Extracted From Aged Formalin‐Fixed Paraffin‐Embedded Specimens of Patients With Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas Can Be Used for Whole Exome Sequencing

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We aimed to assess the quality of DNA extracted from long‐term stored FFPE specimens of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma from three hospitals in Hiroshima and their applicability to whole exome sequencing. FFPE samples preserved for up to 55 years may be amenable to sequencing with increased read depth.

Peroxidase-like Activity of G-Quadruplex/Hemin Complexes for Colorimetric Nucleic Acid Analysis: Loop and Flanking Sequences Affect Signal Intensity

DNA
Background/Objectives: Some G-quadruplex (G4)-forming nucleic acid sequences bind a hemin cofactor to enhance its peroxidase-like activity. This has been implemented in a variety of bioanalytical assays benefiting from analyte-dependent peroxidation of a

Evolutionary implications of inversions that have caused intra-strand parity in DNA

BMC Genomics, 2007
Background Chargaff's rule of DNA base composition, stating that DNA comprises equal amounts of adenine and thymine (%A = %T) and of guanine and cytosine (%C = %G), is well known because it was fundamental to the conception of the Watson-Crick model of ...

Offspring Global DNA Methylation is not Affected by Parental Developmental Stress Experience in a Passerine Species

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid phenotypic change may be mediated by intergenerational transmission of early developmental experiences. In birds, exposure to glucocorticoids during early development can alter global DNA methylation and gene expression. However, DNA methylation is labile, and it is currently unclear whether the impacts of stress suffered during juvenile

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...
