FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Induction of diabetes in three different mouse strains uniformly resulted in an increase in TNAP activity and a reduction in pyrophosphate (PPi) in the circulation. Inhibition of TNAP restored plasma PPi. Diabetes‐induced calcification in the media layer of the aorta was detected only in the Abcc6−/− strain, which is predisposed to ectopic ...

A study of CIS-acting elements required for dosage compensation in Drosophila Melanogaster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Genetics at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2000 Dosage compensation (the equalisation of X-linked gene products) occurs in Drosophila melanogaster by a two fold transcriptional up-regulation of X-linked gene expression in males. This involves the binding of five proteins, MSL-1, MSL-2, MSL-3, MLE, MOF,

Conflict on the sex chromosomes: cause, effect, and complexity [PDF]
, 2014 Intralocus sexual conflict and intragenomic conflict both affect sex chromosome evolution and can in extreme cases even cause the complete turnover of sex chromosomes.

Heterosis of growth trait regulated by DNA methylation and miRNA in allotriploid fish
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2022 Background Heterosis of growth traits in allotriploid fish has benefited the production of aquaculture for many years, yet its genetic and molecular basis has remained obscure.

Visual Recovery Reflects Cortical MeCP2 Sensitivity in Rett Syndrome
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Rett syndrome (RTT) is a devastating neurodevelopmental disorder with developmental regression affecting motor, sensory, and cognitive functions. Sensory disruptions contribute to the complex behavioral and cognitive difficulties and represent an important target for therapeutic interventions.

The Discovery of XY Sex Chromosomes in a \u3cem\u3eBoa\u3c/em\u3e and \u3cem\u3ePython\u3c/em\u3e [PDF]
, 2017 For over 50 years, biologists have accepted that all extant snakes share the same ZW sex chromosomes derived from a common ancestor [1, 2, 3], with different species exhibiting sex chromosomes at varying stages of differentiation.

Complex Evolutionary History of the Y Chromosome in Flies of the Drosophila obscura Species Group. [PDF]
, 2020 The Drosophila obscura species group shows dramatic variation in karyotype, including transitions among sex chromosomes. Members of the affinis and pseudoobscura subgroups contain a neo-X chromosome (a fusion of the X with an autosome), and ancestral Y ...

Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

SlWUS1; An X-linked Gene Having No Homologous Y-Linked Copy in Silene latifolia [PDF]
, 2012 The dioecious plant Silene latifolia has heteromorphic sex chromosomes, and comparison of the positions of sex-linked genes indicates that at least three large inversions have occurred during the evolution of the Y chromosome.
