Zebrafish Globin Switching Occurs in Two Developmental Stages and Is Controlled by the LCR [PDF]
Globin gene switching is a complex, highly regulated process allowing expression of distinct globin genes at specific developmental stages. Here, for the first time, we have characterized all of the zebrafish globins based on the completed genomic ...

ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Cardiovascular Plasticity and Adaptation of High‐Altitude Birds and Mammals
This schematic depicts the cardiovascular adaptations of mammals and birds to high‐altitude hypoxia. It highlights key phenotypic changes in oxygen transport and cardiac responses, driven by molecular mechanisms including transcriptional regulation and genetic modifications.

Objectivesδ-thalassemia and δ-globin variants are rare hemoglobinopathies. However, co-inheritance of β-thalassemia and δ-globin gene mutations may affect the diagnosis of β-thalassemia carriers when based on the elevated Hb A2.

The expression of the human β-like globin genes follows a well-orchestrated developmental pattern, undergoing two essential switches, the first one during the first weeks of gestation (ε to γ), and the second one during the perinatal period (γ to β). The

Human globin ψB2is not a globin-related sequence [PDF]
We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of 3.4 kilobase pairs of DNA covering the region of the human beta globin gene cluster where a human globin-related sequence psi beta 2 was thought to lie (Fritsch, Lawn, and Maniatis (1980) Cell 19, 959-972).

The role of iron in normal and impaired testicular function
Abstract Iron plays a critical role in testicular physiology, impacting spermatogenesis, testosterone production, and overall testicular function. Iron homeostasis is maintained through systemic and cellular regulatory mechanisms, including hepcidin‐mediated systemic iron control and the iron‐responsive element/iron regulatory protein (IRE/IRP) system ...
