Relationship between apolipoprotein(a) size polymorphism and coronary heart disease in overweight subjects

open access: yesBMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2003
Background Overweight is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk which is only partially explained by conventional risk factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] plasma levels and apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a ...

Diversity and Genetic structure of the Spanish collection of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L) landraces [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The objectives of this study were to assess diversity and genetic structure of a collection of Spanish durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L) landraces, using SSRs, DArTs and gliadin-markers, and to correlate the distribution of diversity with geographic and ...

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Construction of a genetic linkage map of the banana fungal pathogen, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, causal agent of Black Sigatoka disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The haploid, hemibiotrophic ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis (Morelet) is the causal agent of black Sigatoka, the most economically important disease of banana (Musa spp.). A genetic linkage map of M.

Natural recovery of genetic diversity by gene flow in reforested areas of the endemic Canary Island pine, Pinus canariensis

open access: yes, 2007
The endemic pine, Pinus canariensis, forms one of the main forest ecosystems in the Canary Islands. In this archipelago, pine forest is a mosaic of natural stands (remnants of past forest overexploitation) and artificial stands planted from the 1940's ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Genetic Markers in Renal Adenocarcinoma

open access: yesJournal of Urology, 1984
The distribution of phenotypes and gene frequencies of the 3rd component of complement (C3), group-specific component (Gc), haptoglobin (Hp) and transferrin (Tf) were studied in 50 patients with renal adenocarcinoma. The statistical analysis of our findings in comparison to the frequency of these genes in the general population does not reveal any ...

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Satellyptus: analysis and database of microsatellites from ESTs of Eucalyptus

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
The main goal of our research was to search for SSRs in the Eucalyptus EST FORESTs database (using a software for mining SSR-motifs). With this objective, we created a database for cataloging Eucalyptus EST-derived SSRs, and developed a bioinformatics ...
