The effect of mitoTEMPO on the development of hypoxia‐induced pulmonary hypertension in male mice
MitoTEMPO targets mitochondrial superoxide (O2•−) but showed no protective effect on chronic hypoxia–induced pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary artery remodeling and right ventricular remodeling developed despite treatment. Abstract Mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) have been implicated in the development of chronic hypoxia‐induced pulmonary

Dihydropteroate synthase gene mutations in Pneumocystis and sulfa resistance [PDF]
Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) remains a major cause of illness and death in HIV-infected persons. Sulfa drugs, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) and dapsone are mainstays of PCP treatment and prophylaxis.

ABSTRACT Leukodystrophy due to biallelic HMBS variants is a rare condition distinct from acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). It is characterised by progressive leukoencephalopathy rather than acute attacks of neurovisceral symptoms. We report the ongoing clinical progression of a patient with leukodystrophy due to homozygous variants in HMBS [c.251C>A,

Cloning and characterization of novel methylsalicylic acid synthase gene involved in the biosynthesis of isoasperlactone and asperlactone in Aspergillus westerdijkiae [PDF]
Aspergillus westerdijkiae is the main producer of several biologically active polyketide metabolites including isoasperlactone and asperlactone. A 5298 bp polyketide synthase gene ‘‘aomsas” has been cloned in Aspergillus westerdijkiae by using gene ...

Aims The aim of the study is to integrate targeted transcriptomic analyses of previously identified biomarker proteins (proteomic findings) to better understand vascular complications (Cx) in Type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Total RNA was extracted from baseline citrate plasma samples of 543 individuals with T2D from the Fenofibrate Intervention and ...

Validation of Suitable Reference Genes for Gene Expression Studies on Yak Testis Development
Testis has an important function in male reproduction. Its development is regulated by a large number of genes. The real-time reserve transcriptase-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a useful tool to evaluate the gene expression levels ...

Exploring Desmin as a Potential Modifier in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy–Associated Cardiomyopathy
ABSTRACT Aim Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a rare X‐linked genetic disorder, is affecting skeletal and cardiac muscles due to the loss of the dystrophin protein. Modifier proteins, whose expression is altered in DMD patients, may influence disease progression.

ADAR1 mRNA quantification for predicting HSIL in persons with HIV and abnormal anal cytology
What's new? This study introduces ADAR1 mRNA quantification as a promising biomarker for improving high‐grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) prediction in HIV‐positive individuals with abnormal anal cytology. With 92% specificity, it reduces unnecessary high‐resolution anoscopies (HRA) by 77%, offering a more efficient and targeted screening ...
