The role of zinc in renal pathological changes in diabetic status [PDF]

, 2015
Diabetes mellitus (DM) was the 8th leading cause of death in 2011, resulting in 1.4 million deaths worldwide. One of the complications of DM is chronic kidney disease, which accounts for nearly 44% of all new cases of kidney failure in the US in 2011 ...

Deciphering the Enigmatic Function of Pseudomonas Metallothioneins

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight, Cys-rich proteins that sequester both essential and non-essential metal ions. Despite being highly conserved in the Pseudomonas genus of Gram-negative bacteria, knowledge of their physiological function in

PmtA Regulates Pyocyanin Expression and Biofilm Formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa expresses a small molecular weight, cysteine-rich protein (PmtA), identified as a metallothionein (MT) protein family member. The MT family proteins have been well-characterized in eukaryotes as essential

Glial Metallothionein

Neurosignals, 1994
The metal-binding protein, metallothionein (MT) has been found to be primarily produced by astrocytes in the rat and human brain. This review discusses the relationship of glial MT to the distribution of metals in the brain, possible roles of MT in the regulation of glial enzymes and other glial proteins, and the possible role of a subset of MT ...

Genome‐Wide by Lifetime Environment Interaction Studies of Brain Imaging Phenotypes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study explores genome‐wide by lifetime environment interactions on brain imaging phenotypes. Gene‐environment interactions explain more phenotypic variance than main effects, pinpoint regulatory variants, and reveal exposure‐specific biological pathways.

Decoding Human Placental Cellular and Molecular Responses to Obesity and Fetal Growth

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Women with obesity often deliver large‐for‐gestational‐age (LGA) infants. Single‐nucleus RNA sequencing of term placenta reveals that hypoxia and TNF‐α signaling in syncytiotrophoblasts are featured in maternal obesity, but inflammatory signatures in Hofbauer cells and response to lipid or carbohydrate metabolism in fibroblasts are specific to LGA.
