Short‐chain acyl post‐translational modifications in cancers: Mechanisms, roles, and therapeutic implications

open access: yesCancer Communications, EarlyView.
Abstract Post‐translational modifications (PTMs) play a pivotal role in epigenetic regulation and are key pathways for modulating protein functionality. PTMs involve the covalent attachment of distinct chemical groups, such as succinyl, crotonyl, and lactyl, at specific protein sites, which alter protein structure, function, stability, and activity ...

3D Microstructural Characterization of Human Deep Fascia Using Optical Projection Tomography, Digital Light Sheet Microscopy, and Magnetic Resonance Microscopy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
The figure presents the trilaminar organization of the human deep fascia, composed of a thick, collagen‐rich intermediate layer flanked by thinner superficial and deep layers with loose connective tissue. ABSTRACT Traditional histological methods provide limited insights into the complex 3D microstructure of fascia and its relationship to disease. This

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.

The influence of fibrillin‐1 and physical activity upon tendon tissue morphology and mechanical properties in mice

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2019
Fibrillin‐1 mutations cause pathological changes in connective tissue that constitute the complex phenotype of Marfan syndrome. In this study, we used fibrillin‐1 hypomorphic and haploinsufficient mice (Fbn1mgr/mgR and Fbn1+/− mice, respectively) to ...
