Structure, Mechanics, and Mechanobiology of Fibrocartilage Pericellular Matrix Mediated by Type V Collagen

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study defines the structure, mechanics, and mechanobiology of the fibrocartilage pericellular matrix (PCM) using the murine meniscus, showing how collagen V deficiency alters PCM properties and disrupts cell mechanosensitive signaling. Findings emphasize the critical role of PCM in fibrocartilage mechanobiology and suggest targeting it can enhance

Effective Genetic Risk Prediction Using Mixed Models [PDF]

, 2014
To date, efforts to produce high-quality polygenic risk scores from genome-wide studies of common disease have focused on estimating and aggregating the effects of multiple SNPs.

PRMT5 Inhibitor Synergizes with Chemotherapy to Induce Resembling Mismatch Repair Deficiency and Enhance Anti‐TIGIT Therapy in Microsatellite‐Stable Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Microsatellite‐stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) resists immunotherapy. PRMT5 inhibition enhances CPT‐11 sensitivity, inducing a PMS2‐deficient‐like state and cytosolic dsDNA release, which activates the cGAS‐STING pathway to promote anti‐tumor immunity. However, this combination therapy upregulates TIGIT expression on CD8+ T cells, and the addition

Warp-speed adaptation to novel hosts after 300 generations of enforced dietary specialisation in the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae) [PDF]

, 2017
Thank you to Paul Eady for providing C. maculatus to initiate our laboratory population and advice on rearing them. The study was funded by the University of Aberdeen core teaching funds (honours project budget to TP), and by a doctoral training grant to

Genetic Regulation of Alternative Polyadenylation Provides Novel Insights into Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Non‐small Cell Lung Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with the non‐risk G allele of rs9606, the risk T allele of rs9606 decreases the binding affinity of NUDT21 for LYRM4, triggering 3'UTR shortening that stabilizes LYRM4 mRNA and elevates its expression. Increased LYRM4 expression promoted malignant phenotypes of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cells through modulating ferroptosis, supporting

UTX Responds to Nanotopography to Suppress Macrophage Inflammatory Response by Remodeling H3K27me3 Modification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with those on the pTi surface, macrophages on the TNTs surface present reduced myosin II contractility, which facilitates the nuclear translocation of the UTX. This reduction decreases the enrichment of the repressive H3K27me3 histone modification at the Abca1 gene locus, which promotes the transcription and protein expression of ABCA1 ...

Phylogenetic relationships and the identification of allopolyploidy in circumpolar Silene sect. Physolychnis

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Species complexes are groups of closely related species with ambiguous delimitation, often composed of recently diverged lineages. Polyploidization and uniparental reproduction (i.e., selfing and apomixis) can play important roles in the origin of species complexes. These complexes pose challenges for species‐based scientific questions,

Dentofacial Malocclusion in Neurofibromatosis 1 in Finland

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is an inherited disease that can be accompanied by oral health problems such as caries, periodontitis, and tumors affecting the oral cavity. Also, different maxillary and mandibular malformations are associated with NF1.

Genetic interactions contribute less than additive effects to quantitative trait variation in yeast. [PDF]

, 2015
Genetic mapping studies of quantitative traits typically focus on detecting loci that contribute additively to trait variation. Genetic interactions are often proposed as a contributing factor to trait variation, but the relative contribution of ...
