Modeling of Fibrotic Lung Disease Using 3D Organoids Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: The pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), an intractable interstitial lung disease, is unclear. Recessive mutations in some genes implicated in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) cause HPS-associated interstitial pneumonia (HPSIP), a

Absence of dense platelet granules and ceroid-laden macrophages: Investigating the diversity of clinical presentations in Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

open access: yesHuman Pathology: Case Reports, 2021
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder in which the proper function of lysosome-related organelles (LROS) is impaired due to mutation in one of several well-characterized genes, including, but not limited to: HPS1 ...

Cellular and ultrastructural characterization of the grey-morph phenotype in southern right whales (Eubalaena australis) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Southern right whales (SRWs, Eubalena australis) are polymorphic for an X-linked pigmentation pattern known as grey morphism. Most SRWs have completely black skin with white patches on their bellies and occasionally on their backs; these patches remain ...

Hermansky Pudlak Syndrome Associated Pulmonary Fibrosis

open access: yesOnline Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2022
Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) was first described by Dr. Frantisek Hermansky and Dr. Paulus Pudlak in 1959. HPS is relatively common in Puerto Rico, in the north-western region of the island.

Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome and Lung Disease: Pathogenesis and Therapeutics

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS) is a rare, genetic, multisystem disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism (OCA), bleeding diathesis, immunodeficiency, granulomatous colitis, and pulmonary fibrosis.

Making the invisible visible [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this review, I will discuss how careful scrutiny of genetic skin disorders could help us to understand human biology. Like other organs, the skin and its appendages, such as hairs and teeth, experience fundamental biological processes ranging from ...

Phenotype Similarity Regression for Identifying the Genetic Determinants of Rare Diseases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Rare genetic disorders, which can now be studied systematically with affordable genome sequencing, are often caused by high-penetrance rare variants.

A Role of Phosphatidylserine in the Function of Recycling Endosomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Cells internalize proteins and lipids in the plasma membrane (PM) and solutes in the extracellular space by endocytosis. The removal of PM by endocytosis is constantly balanced by the replenishment of proteins and lipids to PM through recycling pathway ...

Targeted high-throughput sequencing for genetic diagnostics of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rapid-onset, potentially fatal hyperinflammatory syndrome. A prompt molecular diagnosis is crucial for appropriate clinical management.
