Traumatic Brain Injury Induces Genome-Wide Transcriptomic, Methylomic, and Network Perturbations in Brain and Blood Predicting Neurological Disorders. [PDF]
The complexity of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) pathology, particularly concussive injury, is a serious obstacle for diagnosis, treatment, and long-term prognosis. Here we utilize modern systems biology in a rodent model of concussive injury to gain a

ATF3 Deficiency Exacerbates Ageing‐Induced Atherosclerosis and Clinical Intervention Strategy
Targeting ATF3 with terazosin to against VSMC Senescence and atherosclerosis. TZ reduces the binding affinity of YTHDF2 to Atf3 mRNA, while enhancing mRNA stability. ATF3 promotes Atg7 transcription, enhancing autophagy. ATG7 binds to ATF3 in the cytoplasm, facilitating ATF3 translocation to the nucleus and establishing positive feedback. By modulating

The Genetic Predisposition and the Interplay of Host Genetics and Gut Microbiome in Crohn Disease [PDF]
Extensive genetic studies have identified more than 140 loci predisposing to Crohn disease (CD). Several major CD susceptibility genes have been shown to impair biological function with regard to immune response to recognizing and clearance of bacterial infection.

Environmental Exposures and Parkinson's Disease. [PDF]
Parkinson's disease (PD) affects millions around the world. The Braak hypothesis proposes that in PD a pathologic agent may penetrate the nervous system via the olfactory bulb, gut, or both and spreads throughout the nervous system. The agent is unknown,

Epigenetic Regulation of DAPK1 and Netrin‐1 Drives Diabetic Encephalopathy
This study identifies a microRNA (miR)‐216a‐5p/death‐associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1)/hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A (HNF1A)/Netrin‐1 signaling axis in diabetic encephalopathy (DE). In leptin receptor‐deficient (db/db) and streptozotocin (STZ)‐induced diabetic mice, reduced miR‐216a‐5p increases DAPK1 expression, disrupting HNF1A binding to ...

Aspectos genéticos do transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo
Since the first descriptions of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), genetic factors have been implicated in the etiology of the illness. Twin studies show a high concordance rate for monozygotic twins.

Friend and foe: factors influencing the movement of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori along the parasitism-mutualism continuum. [PDF]
Understanding the transition of bacterial species from commensal to pathogen, or vice versa, is a key application of evolutionary theory to preventative medicine.

Plant‐derived bioactive molecules with low solubility and permeability induce hepatocyte injury, though the mechanisms driving their hepatic effects remain poorly understood. This study identifies a novel transport pathway in which poorly soluble indirubin accumulates in the liver via macrophage‐mediated uptake in Peyer's patches, exacerbating hepatic ...

SUMOylation is a Translatable Target in Hypoxic MNPs Regulating Retinal Vasculopathy
During ischemic retinopathy/retinal vasculopathy, UBC9‐mediated SUMOylation in retinal macrophages enhances their pro‐angiogenic capacity via hypoxia‐induced SUMOylation of FUS at K327/K502. This modification suppresses FUS binding to the Vegfa mRNA 3’UTR, stabilizing transcripts and facilitating VEGFA production. Targeting UBC9 inhibition can serve as
