Sex-biased chromatin and regulatory cross-talk between sex chromosomes, autosomes, and mitochondria [PDF]
, 2014 Several autoimmune and neurological diseases exhibit a sex bias, but discerning the causes and mechanisms of these biases has been challenging. Sex differences begin to manifest themselves in early embryonic development, and gonadal differentiation ...

Primary sex determination of placental mammals: a modelling study uncovers dynamical developmental constraints in the formation of Sertoli and granulosa cells [PDF]
, 2016 Primary sex determination in placental mammals is a very well studied developmental process. Here, we aim to investigate the currently established scenario and to assess its adequacy to fully recover the observed phenotypes, in the wild type and ...

Vascular Calcification: Mechanisms, Models, and Therapies
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Vascular calcification represents an active multifactorial process that mirrors several key features of skeletal bone mineralization. Clinically, it is characterized by diminished arterial compliance and increased arterial wall stiffness, both of which serve as independent predictors of significant adverse cardiovascular events.

Fgf9 and Wnt4 act as antagonistic signals to regulate mammalian sex determination.
PLoS Biology, 2006 The genes encoding members of the wingless-related MMTV integration site (WNT) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF) families coordinate growth, morphogenesis, and differentiation in many fields of cells during development.

MiR‐145‐5p Attenuates Doxorubicin‐Induced Heart Injury Through Targeting Cardiomyocyte Pyroptosis
The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Doxorubicin (DOX), a potent anthracycline chemotherapeutic, exhibits dose‐dependent cardiotoxicity that limits its clinical utility. Although miR‐145‐5p demonstrates cardioprotective properties in cardiovascular diseases, its role in DOX‐induced cardiomyopathy remains undefined.

Sex-Dependent Gene Expression in Human Pluripotent Stem Cells
Cell Reports, 2014 Males and females have a variety of sexually dimorphic traits, most of which result from hormonal differences. However, differences between male and female embryos initiate very early in development, before hormonal influence begins, suggesting the ...
