Assembly of the ocular anterior segment (AS) is a critical event during development of the vertebrate visual system. Failure in this process leads to anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD), which is characterized by congenital blindness and predisposition to ...

Polydopamine‐Based Antioxidant Countermeasures Against Spaceflight‐Induced Neurodegeneration
Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) protect neuron‐like cells from microgravity‐ and cosmic radiation‐induced oxidative stress. Through in‐flight and ground‐based experiments, it has been shown that PDNPs preserve neuronal and mitochondrial function, markedly mitigating transcriptional dysregulation caused by spaceflight.

A transcription factor network specifying inhibitory versus excitatory neurons in the dorsal spinal cord [PDF]
The proper balance of excitatory and inhibitory neurons is crucial for normal processing of somatosensory information in the dorsal spinal cord. Two neural basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors (TFs), Ascl1 and Ptf1a, have contrasting functions in

Mutation Analysis of LMX1B Gene in Nail-Patella Syndrome Patients [PDF]
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS), a pleiotropic disorder exhibiting autosomal dominant inheritance, has been studied for >100 years. Recent evidence shows that NPS is the result of mutations in the LIM-homeodomain gene LMX1B. To determine whether specific LMX1B mutations are associated with different aspects of the NPS phenotype, we screened a cohort of 41 ...

The C. elegans LIM homeobox gene lin-11 specifies multiple cell fates during vulval development [PDF]
LIM homeobox family members regulate a variety of cell fate choices during animal development. In C. elegans, mutations in the LIM homeobox gene lin-11 have previously been shown to alter the cell division pattern of a subset of the 2° lineage vulval ...

The Role of Lmx1a and Lmx1b in Regulating Mesencephalon Development and Dopamine Neuron Specification [PDF]
One of the most challenging questions in developmental biology is how neurons are specified, acquire their distinct characteristics and find their correct innervations to form functional circuits.

The zebrafish eye—a paradigm for investigating human ocular genetics [PDF]
Although human epidemiological and genetic studies are essential to elucidate the aetiology of normal and aberrant ocular development, animal models have provided us with an understanding of the pathogenesis of multiple developmental ocular malformations.

Genetics of Common Obesity in Children and Adolescents
Abstract Childhood obesity is a multifactorial public health problem worldwide. Genetic variation influences the predisposition to develop obesity at early stages of life. Childhood obesity may be classified as syndromic, monogenic, or polygenic depending on the genetic component.

Nail-patella-like renal disease masquerading as Fabry disease on kidney biopsy: a case report
Background Genetic changes in the LIM homeobox transcription factor 1 beta (LMX1B) have been associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) without the extra-renal or ultrastructural manifestations of Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) known as Nail ...
