Temporal Profiling of Male Cortical Astrocyte Transcription Predicts Molecular Shifts From Early Development to Aging. [PDF]
Main Points Comprehensive analysis of cortical astrocyte gene expression across the lifespan. Profiling dynamic changes of key astrocyte genes reveals functional shifts. Astrocytes contribute to gene‐length‐dependent transcription decline in the aging brain.

Implication of intracellular chloride channel in extracellular matrix remodeling in pressure-overloaded mice and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Abstract Chloride intracellular channels (CLICs) are important in cardiac cellular physiology. We aimed to determine the pathophysiological roles of CLICs in the heart. For this, we analyzed CLIC expression in cardiomyocytes in a mouse transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model to induce cardiac hypertrophy and failure, as well as in ventricular ...

Genome-wide association study of primary tooth eruption identifies pleiotropic loci associated with height and craniofacial distances [PDF]
Twin and family studies indicate that the timing of primary tooth eruption is highly heritable, with estimates typically exceeding 80%. To identify variants involved in primary tooth eruption we performed a population based genome-wide association study ...

Renal phenotype in mice lacking the Kir5.1 (Kcnj16) K+ channel subunit contrasts with that observed in SeSAME/EAST syndrome [PDF]
The heteromeric inwardly rectifying Kir4.1/Kir5.1 K + channel underlies the basolateral K + conductance in the distal nephron and is extremely sensitive to inhibition by intracellular pH. The functional importance of Kir4.1/Kir5.1 in renal ion transport

The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24: Ion channels
The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2023/24 is the sixth in this series of biennial publications. The Concise Guide provides concise overviews, mostly in tabular format, of the key properties of approximately 1800 drug targets, and over 6000 interactions with about 3900 ligands. There is an emphasis on selective pharmacology (where available), plus links

Physiological role of potassium channels in mammalian germ cell differentiation, maturation, and capacitation. [PDF]
Abstract Background Ion channels are essential for differentiation and maturation of germ cells, and even for fertilization in mammals. Different types of potassium channels have been identified, which are grouped into voltage‐gated channels (Kv), ligand‐gated channels (Kligand), inwardly rectifying channels (Kir), and tandem pore domain channels (K2P).

EAST syndrome: Clinical, pathophysiological, and genetic aspects of mutations in KCNJ10 [PDF]
EAST syndrome is a recently described autosomal recessive disorder secondary to mutations in KCNJ10 (Kir4.1), a gene encoding a potassium channel expressed in the brain, eye, ear and kidney.

Three‐dimensional genome structure and function
Linear DNA undergoes a series of compression and folding events, resulting in various three‐dimensional (3D) structural units in mammalian cells. These structures play crucial roles in regulating gene expression, cell differentiation, organ development, and disease progression.
