Focused Strategies for Defining the Genetic Architecture of Congenital Heart Defects

, 2021
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are malformations present at birth that occur during heart development. Increasing evidence supports a genetic origin of CHD, but in the process important challenges have been identified. This review begins with information

The pyruvate generator is a common phenomenon in mitochondria from different rat and mouse brain regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The pyruvate generator, which causes activation of respiration by extra‐mitochondrial Ca2+, is also present and functional in rat brainstem mitochondria, as it is in other brain regions. This finding is confirmed by experiments with a fully reconstituted malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS).

On the Choice of the Right Plasmid Vector(s) in the Times of Synthetic Biology

Microbial Biotechnology
Plasmid vectors are to this day the fundamental tools in molecular biology, but their selection is often guided by convenience rather than informed choice. This article revisits the architectural and functional features that determine plasmid performance

Effects of genomic location on ectopic integration and gene expression of a reporter gene cassette in Sulfolobus acidocaldarius

Frontiers in Microbiology
In eukaryotes and bacteria, it is well-established that the genomic location of ectopic gene integration influences the expression level due to replication-associated gene dosage effects as well as effects mediated by chromatin organization. In contrast,

Microbiome−host proteostasis crosstalk—An emerging perspective on mechanisms and interventions toward healthy longevity

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Genetic Tools for the Enhancement of Probiotic Properties

Microbiology Spectrum, 2017
ABSTRACT The Lactobacillus genus is a diverse group of microorganisms, many of which are of industrial and medical relevance. Several Lactobacillus species have been used as probiotics, organisms that when present in sufficient quantities confer a health benefit to the host.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

3D freeform component fixture design optisation using a genetic algorithm

, 2007
This paper details an application of genetic algorithms (GA) developed for the optimisation of fixture locator positioning for 3D freeform components. Based on the information of the workpiece, a genetic algorithm based approach is applied to determine ...
