Neutrophil deficiency increases T cell numbers at the site of tissue injury in mice

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In wild‐type mice, injury or acute inflammation induces neutrophil influx followed by macrophage accumulation. Mcl1ΔMyelo (neutrophil‐deficient) mice lack neutrophils, and in response to muscle injury show fewer macrophages and exhibit strikingly elevated T‐cell numbers, primarily non‐conventional “double‐negative” (DN) αβ and γδ T cells.

Does education reduce the probability of being overweight? [PDF]

open access: yes
This paper analyses the causal effect of education on the probability of being overweight by using longitudinal data of Australian identical twins. The data include self-reported and clinical measures of body size.

Functional role and folding properties of the glucan‐binding domain of oral bacterial glucansucrase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The role of the glucan‐binding domain in Streptococcus sobrinus glucansucrase was examined, focusing on its impact on enzymatic activity, dextran binding, and structural stability of deletion mutants and a circularly permuted protein. Our research revealed that glucosyl transfer efficiency is linked to cooperative interdomain folding.

The cytochrome oxidase defect in ISC‐depleted yeast is caused by impaired iron–sulfur cluster maturation of the mitoribosome assembly factor Rsm22

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The yeast mitoribosome assembly factor Rsm22 contains a [4Fe‐4S] cluster that is matured by the mitochondrial iron–sulfur cluster assembly (ISC) machinery. Defects in ISC components result in impaired mitochondrial protein synthesis due to a mitoribosome assembly defect.

Social Factors and Health: Description of a new Norwegian twin study

open access: yesNorsk Epidemiologi, 2016
A compelling literature substantiates that our social worlds have significant and far-reaching effects on health and well-being throughout life. Yet, few studies of social factors and their effects on health have been embedded within the twin design ...

Early Phonological Acquisition in a Set of English-Spanish Bilingual Twins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Producción CientíficaThis study is the first attempt to examine the early phonological development of bilingual twins. It sought to determine the extent to which the phonological acquisition of twins was similar, and the extent to which the phonological ...

STUDIES OF HUMAN TWINS II. ASYMMETRY REVERSAL, OF MIRROR IMAGING IN IDENTICAL TWINS

open access: yes, 1928
One of the most striking phenomena observed among monozygotic twins is that of the reversal of asymmetry between the individuals of a pair. Among armadillo quadruplets the present writer (Newman, I916) found numerous instances in which a band or scute ...

C‐mannosylation promotes ADAMTS1 activation and secretion in human testicular germ cell tumor NEC8 cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
C‐mannosylation is a unique form of protein glycosylation. In this study, we demonstrated that ADAMTS1 is C‐mannosylated at Trp562 and Trp565 in human testicular germ cell tumor NEC8 cells. We found that C‐mannosylation of ADAMTS1 is essential for its secretion, processing, enzymatic activity, and ability to promote vasculogenic mimicry. These findings

Epigenetic Basis of Twin Discordance in Diseases: Future Benefits

open access: yesGynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine, 2018
Monozygotic twins share the same genotype since they are derived from the same zygote. However, monozygotic (MZ) twin siblings frequently present many phenotypic differences, such as their susceptibilities to diseases.
