Ablation of LRP6 in alpha‐smooth muscle actin‐expressing cells abrogates lung inflammation and fibrosis upon bleomycin‐induced lung injury

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

A Novel Heterozygous Mutation in the SYK Gene and Systemic Inflammation with Immunodeficiency - a case report

open access: yesJournal of Biochemical and Clinical Genetics
Background: The spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) gene, located on chromosome 9q22.2, encodes a crucial cytoplasmic non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in immune cell signaling, particularly in B and T cell receptor pathways. Mutations in SYK are linked to &

Bezafibrate Improves Mitochondrial Fission and Function in DNM1L-Deficient Patient Cells

open access: yesCells, 2020
Mitochondria are involved in many cellular processes and their main role is cellular energy production. They constantly undergo fission and fusion, and these counteracting processes are under strict balance. The cytosolic dynamin-related protein 1, Drp1,

From the search for diagnosis to treatment uncertainties: challenges of care for rare genetic diseases in Brazil

open access: yesCiência & Saúde Coletiva, 2019
Rare genetic diseases are an important public health problem, but they are still little studied in Collective Health. This article aims to analyze the ‘therapeutic itineraries’ of patients in search of a diagnosis and treatment for rare genetic diseases ...

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...

Advances in related research about hereditary connective tissue diseases and the occurrence and rupture of intracranial aneurysm

open access: yesChinese Journal of Contemporary Neurology and Neurosurgery, 2021
The mechanism of occurrence and rupture of intracranial aneurysm is complex and may involve various environmental and genetic factors. Histopathological studies of intracranial aneurysm suggest a possible relationship between intracranial aneurysm and ...

Analysis of the human diseasome reveals phenotype modules across common, genetic, and infectious diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Phenotypes are the observable characteristics of an organism arising from its response to the environment. Phenotypes associated with engineered and natural genetic variation are widely recorded using phenotype ontologies in model organisms, as are signs and symptoms of human Mendelian diseases in databases such as OMIM and Orphanet.

Neurodevelopmental Genetic Diseases Associated With Microdeletions and Microduplications of Chromosome 17p13.3

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Chromosome 17p13.3 is a region of genomic instability that is linked to different rare neurodevelopmental genetic diseases, depending on whether a deletion or duplication of the region has occurred.

The power of microRNA regulation—insights into immunity and metabolism

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
MicroRNAs are emerging as crucial regulators at the intersection of metabolism and immunity. This review examines how miRNAs coordinate glucose and lipid metabolism while simultaneously modulating T‐cell development and immune responses. Moreover, it highlights how cutting‐edge artificial intelligence applications can identify miRNA biomarkers ...
