Stronger inflammatory/cytotoxic T cell response in women identified by microarray analysis [PDF]
, 2008 Women develop chronic inflammatory autoimmune diseases like lupus more often than men. The mechanisms causing the increased susceptibility are incompletely understood, although estrogen is believed to contribute.

Modern competency‐based teaching of human sexual development
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Embryology is an integral part of anatomy and a key subject in basic medical education. The development of the sexual tract, which is closely associated with the formation of the urinary tract and the organs of continence, is particularly complex and relevant for many medical disciplines.

Cbx2, a Polycomb Group Gene, Is Required for Sry Gene Expression in Mice [PDF]
Endocrinology, 2012 Mice lacking the function of the polycomb group protein CBX2 (chromobox homolog 2; also known as M33) show defects in gonadal, adrenal, and splenic development. In particular, XY knockout (KO) mice develop ovaries but not testes, and the gonads are hypoplastic in both sexes.

Polytene chromosomes as indicators of phylogeny in several species groups of Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2001 BackgroundPolytene chromosome banding patterns have long been used by Drosophila evolutionists to infer degree of relatedness among taxa. Recently, nucleotide sequences have preempted this traditional method.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Abnormal white matter tracts resembling pencil fibers involving prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 47) in autism: a case report. [PDF]
, 2016 BackgroundAutism is not correlated with any neuropathological hallmark as the brain of autistic individuals lack defined lesions. However, previous investigations have reported cortical heterotopias and local distortion of the cytoarchitecture of the ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The pathogenesis of epilepsy is closely associated with neuronal synaptic plasticity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate various biological processes by binding to specific sequences on target genes. This study employs bioinformatics, molecular dynamics, and experimental approaches to investigate the mechanism by which MiR‐30a‐5p treats

Prenatal Diagnosis of 45,X/46,XX Mosaicism with Presence of SRY Gene. A Case Report
Medisur, 2013 The most common karyotype of the Turner syndrome is 45,X, although it may occur as mosaic 45,X/46,XX. In the Provincial Medical Genetics Center, a 42-year-old pregnant woman underwent an amniocentesis which led to the detection of mosaic Turner Syndrome (

miR-638 is a new biomarker for outcome prediction of non-small cell lung cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. [PDF]
, 2015 MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, mediate gene expression by either cleaving target mRNAs or inhibiting their translation. They have key roles in the tumorigenesis of several cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Salivary gland carcinomas are uncommon malignancies with various histological subtypes harboring fusion genes. The EWSR1::ATF1 fusion gene, resulting from a translocation between chromosomes 12 and 22, is frequently observed in hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC). However, the role of this fusion gene in HCCC oncogenesis remains
