Analyses of GWAS and Sub‐Threshold Loci Lead to the Discovery of Dendrite Development and Morphology Dysfunction Underlying Schizophrenia Genetic Risk

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A cost‐effective strategy is developed analyzing sub‐threshold GWAS loci (5 × 10−8 < P ≤ 10−6), identifying 180 risk loci and 304 high‐confidence genes through combined GWAS/subGWAS analysis. This approach reveals dendrite development and morphogenesis (DDM) as a novel SCZ pathway.

Molecular Backgrounds of ERAP1 Downregulation in Cervical Carcinoma

open access: yesAnalytical Cellular Pathology, 2015
The antigen processing machinery (APM) plays an important role in immune recognition of virally infected and transformed cells. Defective expression of the APM component ERAP1 is associated with progression and poor clinical outcome in cervical carcinoma.

Enhancer Reprogramming Reveals the Tumorigenic Role of PTPRZ1 in Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Lung squamous cell cancer (LUSC) is deadly due to lack of good treatments. Here, multiomics techniques are applied to LUSC tumors and find thousands of cancer‐specific enhancers controlling key genes. Interestingly, the gene PTPRZ1 is identified as a critical oncogene driven by the LUSC‐acquired enhancers. PTPRZ1 is activated by MDK, fueling cancer via

Loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability as predictive markers among Iranian esophageal cancer patients [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2016
Objective(s): Variation in microsatellite sequences that are dispersed in the genome has been linked to a deficiency in cellular mismatch repair system and defects in several genes of this system are involved in carcinogenesis.

Treating Hearing Loss: From Cochlear Implantation to Gene Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Cochlear implantation is the primary treatment for deafness, restoring functional hearing in over a million people. Recently, gene therapy has enabled biological hearing restoration in a small number of patients with OTOF‐related mutations. This perspective evaluates both approaches, concluding that cochlear implants will remain the standard for most ...

Non‐Random Distribution of EMS‐Induced Mutations Reveals Preference for Open Chromatin and Expressed Genes in Rice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Mutagenesis is an effective method for generating genetic resources with a long history in breeding; however, the randomness of chemical‐induced mutations has not been systematically investigated. In this study, over 7 million SNPms are identified in an EMS‐induced population, revealing that these mutations are non‐randomly distributed and ...

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.
