, 2009 This chapter first presents the interrelations between computing and genetics, which both are based on information and, particularly, self-reproducing artificial systems. It goes on to examine genetic code from a computational viewpoint.

Neurodegeneration: Potential Causes, Prevention, and Future Treatment Options [PDF]
, 2011 Here I advance a hypothesis that neurodegeneration is a natural process associated with aging due to the loss of genetic redundancy following a mathematical model R(t) = R0(1-αe(βC+γI+δEt)t), where the calorie intake (C) and ...

Exploring the genetic patterns of complex diseases via the integrative genome-wide approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Motivation: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which assay more than a million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in thousands of individuals, have been widely used to identify genetic risk variants for complex diseases. However, most of the variants that have been identified contribute relatively small increments of risk and only explain a ...

CHAI and LATAIE: new genetic diseases of CTLA-4 checkpoint insufficiency.
Blood, 2016 CTLA-4 is a critical inhibitory "checkpoint" molecule of immune activation. Several recent reports have described patients with immune dysregulation and lymphoproliferative disease resulting from 2 different genetic diseases that directly or indirectly ...

Brucella NyxA and NyxB dimerization enhances effector function during infection
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Brucella abortus thrives inside cells thanks to the translocation of effector proteins that fine‐tune cellular functions. NyxA and NyxB are two effectors that destabilize the nucleolar localization of their host target, SENP3. We show that the Nyx proteins directly interact with each other and that their dimerization is essential for their function ...

Effect of Biodiversity Changes in Disease Risk: Exploring Disease Emergence in a Plant-Virus System [PDF]
, 2012 The effect of biodiversity on the ability of parasites to infect their host and cause disease (i.e. disease risk) is a major question in pathology, which is central to understand the emergence of infectious diseases, and to develop strategies for their ...

Genome-wide Causation Studies of Complex Diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Despite significant progress in dissecting the genetic architecture of complex diseases by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the signals identified by association analysis may not have specific pathological relevance to diseases so that a large fraction of disease causing genetic variants is still hidden. Association is used to measure dependence

Mapping the Genetic-Imaging-Clinical Pathway with Applications to Alzheimer's Disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Alzheimer's disease is a progressive form of dementia that results in problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It often starts with abnormal aggregation and deposition of beta amyloid and tau, followed by neuronal damage such as atrophy of the hippocampi, leading to Alzheimer's Disease (AD).

Human hepatic organoids for the analysis of human genetic diseases.
JCI Insight, 2017 We developed an in vitro model system where induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) differentiate into 3-dimensional human hepatic organoids (HOs) through stages that resemble human liver during its embryonic development.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...
