Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Fibrillins provide a scaffold for elastic fiber formation, which enables lung recoil and aortic compliance. Abnormal fibrillin microfibrils, as in Marfan syndrome, lead to enlarged alveoli, vascular stiffening, and aneurysms. Our earlier studies suggested that fibrillin function depends on O‐glucosylation of its epidermal growth ...

A small population of hypothalamic neurons govern fertility: the critical role of VAX1 in GnRH neuron development and fertility maintenance. [PDF]
, 2016 Fertility depends on the correct maturation and function of approximately 800 gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons in the brain. GnRH neurons are at the apex of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis that regulates fertility. In adulthood, GnRH

A Zebrafish Model of Mycobacterium leprae Granulomatous Infection. [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the pathogenesis of leprosy granulomas has been hindered by a paucity of tractable experimental animal models. Mycobacterium leprae, which causes leprosy, grows optimally at approximately 30°C, so we sought to model granulomatous disease in

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.Abstract Lynch syndrome (LS) is the most common hereditary colorectal cancer syndrome, caused by a germline pathogenic variant in one of the mismatch repair (MMR) genes. Among these, MSH6‐associated LS represents a distinct subtype with unique molecular and clinical characteristics.

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021 Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

No more time to stay ‘single’ in the detection of Anisakis pegreffii, A. simplex (s. s.) and hybridization events between them: a multi-marker nuclear genotyping approach [PDF]
, 2016 A multi-marker nuclear genotyping approach was performed on larval and adult specimens of Anisakis spp. (N = 689) collected from fish and cetaceans in allopatric and sympatric areas of the two species Anisakis pegreffii and Anisakis simplex (s.

The importance of gene polymorphism in familial inheritance of endometriosis
International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.Abstract Objective The study aimed to investigate familial transmission patterns in women with endometriosis by generating a customized single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Methods Patients aged 18–45 who were diagnosed histopathologically with endometriosis were included in the study.

Next generation complex genome assembly
Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 2016 Whole genome assembly boosts the discovery of genes and pathways involved in the key metabolites produced in medicinal plants. Many medicinal plants possess large, polyploid and/or heterozygote genomes, thus denovo assembly of these genomes poses a ...
