AN ORPHAN PHENOTYPE OF CARDIOGENITAL LAMINOPATHY — MALOUF SYNDROME
Recent decades significantly increased the spectrum of monogenic diseases associated with mutations in the gene of lamin A/C (LMNA), that codes the proteins group performing important functions in the nucleus.

Microvesicles secreted by macrophages shuttle invasion-potentiating microRNAs into breast cancer cells [PDF]
Background Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are alternatively activated cells induced by interleukin-4 (IL-4)-releasing CD4+ T cells. TAMs promote breast cancer invasion and metastasis; however, the mechanisms underlying these interactions between ...

Myo‐Guide: A Machine Learning‐Based Web Application for Neuromuscular Disease Diagnosis With MRI
ABSTRACT Background Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are rare disorders characterized by progressive muscle fibre loss, leading to replacement by fibrotic and fatty tissue, muscle weakness and disability. Early diagnosis is critical for therapeutic decisions, care planning and genetic counselling.

Nuclear envelope defects cause stem cell dysfunction in premature-aging mice [PDF]
et al.Nuclear lamina alterations occur in physiological aging and in premature aging syndromes. Because aging is also associated with abnormal stem cell homeostasis, we hypothesize that nuclear envelope alterations could have an important impact on stem ...

The role of inner nuclear membrane protein emerin in myogenesis
Emerin function is critical for proper genome reorganization and temporal gene expression necessary for terminal myogenic differentiation. Emerin interacts with both HDAC3 and histone methyltransferases (HMTs) to organize chromatin at the inner nuclear membrane.

Intrabody-mediated diverting of HP1β to the cytoplasm induces co-aggregation of H3-H4 histones and lamin-B receptor [PDF]
Diverting a protein from its intracellular location is a unique property of intrabodies. To interfere with the intracellular traffic of heterochromatin protein 1β (HP1β) in living cells, we have generated a cytoplasmic targeted anti-HP1β intrabody ...

Human pluripotent stem cells as tools for high-throughput and high-content screening in drug discovery [PDF]
A significant bottleneck in drug discovery is the lack of suitable models for sensitive, reliable, and rapid assessment of lead molecules in preclinical stages of drug discovery.

The laminopathies: nuclear structure meets disease
Most inherited diseases are associated with mutations in a specific gene. Sometimes, mutations in two or more different genes result in diseases with a similar phenotype. Rarely do different mutations in the same gene result in a multitude of seemingly different and unrelated diseases.

Clinical and diagnostic difficulties in management of patients with laminopathies
Mutations in the LMNA gene cause developing of several phenotypes, both with isolated involvement of cardiac, muscle, adipose and bone tissues, and with their combination.

Specific nuclear envelope transmembrane proteins can promote the location of chromosomes to and from the nuclear periphery [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Different cell types have distinctive patterns of chromosome positioning in the nucleus. Although ectopic affinity-tethering of specific loci can be used to relocate chromosomes to the nuclear periphery, endogenous nuclear envelope proteins ...
