siRNA knockdown of SPHK1 in vivo protects mice from systemic, type-I Allergy. [PDF]
Systemic anaphylaxis is considered to be a typical immediate hypersensitivity response, determined by the activation of immune cells, via antigen-induced aggregation of IgE-sensitized FcεRI cells.

A novel splice variant of the DNA-PKcs gene is associated with clinical and cellular radiosensivity in a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum [PDF]
Background: Radiotherapy-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are critical cytotoxic lesions. Inherited defects in DNA DSB repair pathways lead to hypersensitivity to ionising radiation, immunodeficiency and increased cancer incidence.
