Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of several factors, which lead to a higher risk of cardiovascular and other diseases. To study MetS, its mechanisms and means to alleviate complications associated with it, there is a demand for suitable animal models and their strains.

Cathepsin B modulates lysosomal biogenesis and host defense against Francisella novicida infection [PDF]
Lysosomal cathepsins regulate an exquisite range of biological functions, and their deregulation is associated with inflammatory, metabolic, and degenerative diseases in humans.

Efficient gene targeting by homologous recombination in rat embryonic stem cells.
The rat is the preferred experimental animal in many biological studies. With the recent derivation of authentic rat embryonic stem (ES) cells it is now feasible to apply state-of-the art genetic engineering in this species using homologous recombination.

Abstract Background and Purpose Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as antiPD1, revolutionized melanoma treatment. However, resistance and low response rates remain problems. Our goal was to pinpoint actionable biomarkers of resistance to anti‐PD1 treatment and verify therapeutic effectiveness in vivo.

Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: Evaluation of a Modified Bite Device to Prevent Bite Injuries
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) is a serious form of hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) deficiency, a hereditary purine metabolism disorder. The prevalence reported in the literature is 1/380,000 to 235,000 births.

Abstract Pregnancy demands increased food intake and nutrient delivery to support the growing conceptus. The timing and regional specificity of adaptations in small intestinal (SI) anatomy and transport, and their functional consequences, remain unclear. We therefore assessed anatomy and expression of macronutrient transporters in the duodenum, jejunum,

Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) Induces Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP)-I and Procalcitonin (Pro-CT) Production in Human Adipocytes [PDF]
Context: Increased plasma levels of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), calcitonin CT gene-related peptide (CGRP)-I, and procalcitonin (Pro-CT) are associated with obesity.

ZNF469 regulates the expression of genes encoding extracellular matrix proteins. Endogenous ZNF469 is predominantly cytoplasmic, while in transfected cells, it forms aggregates reminiscent of biomolecular condensates, located mainly in the nucleus. These condensates exhibit overlapping staining with proteasomes and are also associated with the mitotic ...
