The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Lineage-specific gene expression and the regulative capacities of the sea urchin embryo: a proposed mechanism [PDF]
Three aspects of early sea urchin development are reviewed, and conclusions derived that lead to a unified concept of how the initial specifications of differential gene activity may occur in this embryo. i.

Decoding transcription and microRNA-mediated translation control in Drosophila development [PDF]
The spatio-temporal regulation of gene expression lies at the heart of animal development. In this article we present an overview of our recent work to apply systems biological approaches to the study of transcription and microRNA-mediated translation ...

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Role of the Mitochondrial Genome During Early Development in Mice [PDF]
The role of the mitochondrial genome in early development and differentiation was studied in mouse embryos cultured in vitro from the two to four cell stage to the blastocyst (about 100 cells).

Mutant NPM1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Initiation and Maintenance
NPM1 mutations drive acute myeloid leukemia by acting as neomorphic transcriptional regulators that cooperate with Menin–MLL and XPO1 to sustain HOX/MEIS1 expression and block differentiation. Targeting these mutant‐specific transcriptional dependencies provides a rational therapeutic strategy for NPM1‐mutated AML.

Developmental, Neuroanatomical and Cellular Expression of Genes Causing Dystonia
ABSTRACT Objective Dystonia is one of the most common movement disorders, with variants in multiple genes identified as causative. However, an understanding of which developmental stages, brain regions, and cell types are most relevant is crucial for developing relevant disease models and therapeutics.

BPP disrupts spermatogenesis via mitochondrial-ER stress-mediated autophagic flux blockade in mice
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), particularly bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogs, have been extensively linked to male reproductive toxicity. However, the biological effects of bisphenol P (BPP), an increasingly used BPA substitute, remain poorly ...
