Sex Differences in Lung Immunity
ABSTRACT Biological sex has a significant impact on how the immune system develops and responds to foreign and self‐antigens. Sex differences exist in innate and adaptive immune cells, both at homeostasis and in the context of infection and inflammatory diseases such as asthma, cancer, and autoimmune disorders.

Regulation of desmocollin transcription in mouse preimplantation embryos
The molecular mechanisms regulating the biogenesis of the first desmosomes to form during mouse embryogenesis have been studied. A sensitive modification of a reverse transcriptase-cDNA amplification procedure has been used to detect transcripts of the ...

SSCP-polymorphism in intron 12 of the CFTR gene recognized by BclI
Source/Description: SSCP analysis of intron 12 of the CFTR gene from PCR products showed an extra band in several DNA samples. Sequencing of the additional fragment extra band revealed a T- A change in the position 1898 + 152 of CFTR (Fig. 1). The change

Cytokeratin and Desmoplakin Analogues within an Intracellular Parasite
A significant amount of the total protein in the spore sacs of the microsporidian Thelohania sp. consisted of the cytoskeletal elements, cytokeratin intermediate filaments, and the desmosomal analogues. The cytokeratin and desmosomal analogues were organized as cage envelopes surrounding the spores within the spore sac stage. Thelohania sp. parasitizes

Desmoplakin Cardiomyopathy: Myocarditis-Like Episodes
We report a case of a 21-year-old woman who presented with recurrent chest pain over a three-year period, initially attributed to myocarditis. She first presented with elevated troponin levels and myocardial oedema on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), consistent with acute myocarditis.

Debilitating Darier\u27s disease [PDF]
Darier\u27s disease is an inherited dermatitis that is due to a mutation in the ATP2A2 gene. This mutation causes disrupted signaling within cells and leads to a skin condition that is resistant to many dermatologic treatments.
