ID gene activity during Xenopus embryogenesis
The activity of bHLH transcription factors that are involved in cell determination and differentiation is inhibited by Ids, HLH proteins lacking the basic amino acid sequence element. In order to determine the role of Id during development, we have isolated and characterized the Id genes expressed in Xenopus embryos.

Detailed pedigree analyses and prenatal diagnosis for a family with mucopolysaccharidosis type II
Background Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is an X-linked multisystem disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding iduronate 2-sulfatase (IDS).

Brain‐targeted stem cell gene therapy corrects mucopolysaccharidosis type II via multiple mechanisms
The pediatric lysosomal storage disorder mucopolysaccharidosis type II is caused by mutations in IDS, resulting in accumulation of heparan and dermatan sulfate, causing severe neurodegeneration, skeletal disease, and cardiorespiratory disease.

Do peers see more in a paper than its authors? [PDF]
Recent years have shown a gradual shift in the content of biomedical publications that is freely accessible, from titles and abstracts to full text. This has enabled new forms of automatic text analysis and has given rise to some interesting questions ...

DNA methylation profiling of primary neuroblastoma tumors using methyl-CpG-binding domain sequencing [PDF]
Comprehensive genome-wide DNA methylation studies in neuroblastoma (NB), a childhood tumor that originates from precursor cells of the sympathetic nervous system, are scarce. Recently, we profiled the DNA methylome of 102 well-annotated primary NB tumors

MetaboTools: A comprehensive toolbox for analysis of genome-scale metabolic models [PDF]
Metabolomic data sets provide a direct read-out of cellular phenotypes and are increasingly generated to study biological questions. Our previous work revealed the potential of analyzing extracellular metabolomic data in the context of the metabolic ...

ID genes mediate tumor reinitiation during breast cancer lung metastasis [PDF]
The establishment of distant metastases depends on the capacity of small numbers of cancer cells to regenerate a tumor after entering a target tissue. The mechanisms that confer this capacity remain to be defined. Here we identify a role for the transcriptional inhibitors of differentiation Id1 and Id3 as selective mediators of lung ...
