Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Current Status of Hepatitis E Virus Infection in Korea

open access: yesGut and Liver, 2011
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an emerging pathogen associated with acute viral hepatitis, and HEV is becoming increasingly recognized. Approximately 2% of acute viral hepatitis is caused by HEV, and 18 cases of hepatitis E have been reported in Korea.

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.

Rescue of a genotype 4 human hepatitis E virus from cloned cDNA and characterization of intergenotypic chimeric viruses in cultured human liver cells and in pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but extremely understudied human pathogen. Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to humans, whereas genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic, infecting both humans and pigs.

Genotype and phenotype analysis of α-thalassemia fusion gene in southern China

open access: yesHematology
Objective The α-globin fusion gene between the HBA2 and HBAP1 genes, is clinically important in thalassemia screening because this fusion gene can cause severe hemoglobin (Hb) H disease when combined with α0 -thalassemia (α0 -thal).

Partial depletion of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 decreases subcutaneous fat cell hypertrophy and liver cholesterol in high‐fat‐fed female mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Obesity raises blood levels of PAI‐1, a protein linked to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in people with obesity. In female mice fed a high‐fat diet, partially lowering PAI‐1 led to smaller subcutaneous fat cells and lower liver cholesterol, without changing body weight or insulin sensitivity.

Determination of Silage Quality of Some Sorghum Genotypes under Eskişehir Ecological Conditions

open access: yesISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences
A randomized block design was employed to determine the silage quality of some sorghum genotypes grown after wheat harvest. In the study, 10 sorghum lines (104, 12, 301, 302, 304, 32-1, 8, B305 G310, K311) and 12 registered sorghum varieties (Aldarı ...

Going viral − Virus‐targeting nanobodies for research, diagnostics and therapy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The increasing prevalence of viral diseases represents a major threat for global human health. Nanobodies, small binding fragments derived from camelid heavy‐chain antibodies, offer versatile tools for viral research, diagnostics, and antiviral therapy.

Genotype-phenotype relationships in clonal BFU-E colonies derived from edited hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells.

open access: yes, 2019
A) Workflow depicting erythroid colony (BFU-E) formation genotype/phenotype assay using edited HSPC. HSPC were edited using RNPs targeting the desired region, plated in methocult, and colonies were grown for 14 days.

Scrapie-resistant sheep show certain coat colour characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Susceptibility to scrapie is known to be associated with polymorphisms at the prion protein (PrP) gene, and this association is the basis of current selective programmes implemented to control scrapie in many Countries.
