Awareness, knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes towards genetic testing for cancer risk among ethnic minority groups: a systematic review

BMC Public Health, 2017
BackgroundGenetic testing for risk of hereditary cancer can help patients to make important decisions about prevention or early detection. US and UK studies show that people from ethnic minority groups are less likely to receive genetic testing.

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

COMPARISON OF DIAGNOSTIC ACCURACY OF GLYCATED HEMOGLOBIN (HBA1C) AND 2-HOUR POST GLUCOSE FOR DIABETES USING AMERICAN DIABETIC ASSOCIATION (ADA) CUT OFFS IN PAKISTANI POPULATION

Pakistan Armed Forces Medical Journal, 2018
Objective: To determine median HbA1c level in patients screened for DM and compare the diagnostic accuracy of HbA1c with the currently recommended ADA cut off, using 2 hours (h) plasma glucose (2-h PG) post 75 grams oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT ...

Modeling hepatic fibrosis in TP53 knockout iPSC‐derived human liver organoids

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study developed iPSC‐derived human liver organoids with TP53 gene knockout to model human liver fibrosis. These organoids showed elevated myofibroblast activation, early disease markers, and advanced fibrotic hallmarks. The use of profibrotic differentiation medium further amplified the fibrotic signature seen in the organoids.

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

Hypertension and ethnic group

BMJ, 2006
Are there ethnic differences in the pathogenesis of hypertension and are these sufficient to influence choice of treatment? I will also consider prevalence and complications. Because hypertension is the biggest and an almost entirely treatable cause of cardiovascular disease, even small ethnic differences in its optimum management have large ...

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).
