An optimized protocol to detect high‐throughput DNA methylation from custom targeted sequences on 96 samples simultaneously

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Workflow of a high‐throughput technology for epigenotyping of differentially methylated CpGs in specific regions of the genome. The protocol works with small amounts of DNA extracted from blood or semen. The protocol consists of both enzymatic conversion of unmethylated cytosines and capture by hybridization with a custom panel.

AIM2 deficiency in B cells ameliorates systemic lupus erythematosus by regulating Blimp-1–Bcl-6 axis-mediated B-cell differentiation

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021
Absent in melanoma 2 (AIM2) has been reported to be a component of inflammasomes in innate immune cells. Surprisingly, AIM2 is expressed by B cells, and higher AIM2 expression is observed in the B cells from lupus patients.

Vitamin D and the epigenome [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Epigenetic mechanisms play a crucial role in regulating gene expression. The main mechanisms involve methylation of DNA and covalent modifications of histones by methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or ubiquitination. The complex interplay of different epigenetic mechanisms is mediated by enzymes acting in the nucleus.

Overview of molecular signatures of senescence and associated resources: pros and cons

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cells can enter a stress response state termed cellular senescence that is involved in various diseases and aging. Detecting these cells is challenging due to the lack of universal biomarkers. This review presents the current state of senescence identification, from biomarkers to molecular signatures, compares tools and approaches, and highlights ...

Functional genetic variants can mediate their regulatory effects through alteration of transcription factor binding

Nature Communications, 2019
Functional variants have been proposed to alter transcription factor binding. Here, the authors provide direct evidence that functional variants within the TBC1D4 gene, encoding an NFκB binding site, can alter transcription factor binding, and use CRISPR-

Implementing Curcumin in Translational Oncology Research

Molecules, 2020
Most data published on curcumin and curcumin-based formulations are very promising. In cancer research, the majority of data has been obtained in vitro. Less frequently, researchers used experimental animals.

Inhibition of EZH2 Promotes Human Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation into Mesoderm by Reducing H3K27me3. [PDF]

, 2017
Mesoderm derived from human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) is a major source of the mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) that can differentiate into osteoblasts and chondrocytes for tissue regeneration.

Thermal Annealing Enhances Piezoelectricity and Regenerative Potential of PVDF‐TrFE Nanofiber Scaffolds

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Thermal annealing improves the structure, stiffness, and piezoelectric properties of poly(vinylidene flouride‐trifluoroethylene) (PVDF‐TrFE) nanofiber scaffolds. These annealed scaffolds promote Schwann cell proliferation and matrix remodeling in vitro and demonstrate in vivo biocompatibility.
