Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.

Genome-wide association studies with metabolomics [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2012
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) analyze the genetic component of a phenotype or the etiology of a disease. Despite the success of many GWAS, little progress has been made in uncovering the underlying mechanisms for many diseases. The use of metabolomics as a readout of molecular phenotypes has enabled the discovery of previously undetected ...

A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We conducted a multi-stage, genome-wide association study of bladder cancer with a primary scan of 591,637 SNPs in 3,532 affected individuals (cases) and 5,120 controls of European descent from five studies followed by a replication strategy, which ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Genome-wide scanning versus candidate gene approach in the genetic architecture of common diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the Nature 7 June issue, researchers from the Welcome Trust Case Control Consortium (WTCCC) reported the findings of a large genome-wide association (GWA) study of 14,000 cases of common diseases and 3000 controls studies revealing the role of several

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Genome-wide association study identifies six new loci influencing pulse pressure and mean arterial pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Numerous genetic loci have been associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in Europeans1, 2, 3. We now report genome-wide association studies of pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). In discovery (N =

A genome-wide interaction study of thyroid-stimulating hormone levels and particulate matter exposure among Koreans

open access: yesGenes and Environment
Background Although the associations between air pollution exposure and thyroid function have been reported, the interactive effects of the genes involved remain unknown. Therefore, we aimed to identify candidate genetic loci involved in thyroid function

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Improved heritability estimation from genome-wide SNPs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Narrow-sense heritability (h(2)) is an important genetic parameter that quantifies the proportion of phenotypic variance in a trait attributable to the additive genetic variation generated by all causal variants.
