Hepatic heparan sulfate is a master regulator of hepcidin expression and iron homeostasis in human hepatocytes and mice. [PDF]
Hepcidin is a liver-derived peptide hormone that controls systemic iron homeostasis. Its expression is regulated by the bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP6)/SMAD1/5/8 pathway and by the proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 6 (IL6).

Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recently, prognostic importance of antibodies in primary membranous nephropathy is well defined. However, knowledge about antibodies related to disease activity in membranous lupus nephritis (MLN) is limited. Exostosin1 and exostosin2 (EXT1/2) are novel antibodies detected

In this study, we used Foxp3‐fatemapping mice to examine the cell lineage stability of Treg cells in pregnancy. Ex‐Foxp3 cells were identified in gestational tissues. However, Treg cells retained lineage stability with no increased ex‐Foxp3 generation, regardless of inflammatory challenges that induce preterm birth.

Transcriptomics in Venous Leg Ulcers (VLU): A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) are chronic wounds in the lower limbs that cause significant morbidity. The underlying biology underpinning non‐healing in VLUs is still poorly understood and differences in transcriptomic profiles may help elucidate biological pathways involved in wound chronicity.

Abnormal sodium and water homeostasis in mice with defective heparan sulfate polymerization.
Glycosaminoglycans in the skin interstitium and endothelial surface layer have been shown to be involved in local sodium accumulation without commensurate water retention. Dysfunction of heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans may therefore disrupt sodium and

A child having rare Hereditary Multiple Exostosis with Covid-19 disease: A case study [PDF]
: Hereditary Multiple Exostosis is a rare bone disease in pediatric age group. It is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by excessive bony overgrowth arising from lateral aspect of metaphysis of long bone, covered by a cartilaginous cap.

Clinical and Genetic Significance of Chromosomal Microarray Screening of Asymptomatic Newborns
Among 99 asymptomatic newborns with abnormal low‐resolution chromosomal microarray (LR‐CMA) screening, 70.7% harbored microduplication/microdeletions with syndromic implications. However, only a minority exhibited developmental concerns during early follow‐up, highlighting the need for cautious interpretation.

The sequence of rice chromosomes 11 and 12, rich in disease resistance genes and recent gene duplications [PDF]
Background: Rice is an important staple food and, with the smallest cereal genome, serves as a reference species for studies on the evolution of cereals and other grasses. Therefore, decoding its entire genome will be a prerequisite for applied and basic

Identification of genomic regions associated with partial resistance to Aphanomyces root rot in pea
Abstract Root rot caused by Aphanomyces euteiches is a major concern in pea (Pisum sativum L.). The lack of other effective control strategies makes crucial the development of resistant varieties. Although partial resistance has been reported, its quantitative inheritance, the association of resistance‐linked genomic regions with unfavorable agronomic ...
