Zika virus and microcephaly [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2016
Before 2015, Zika virus, a mosquito-transmitted flavivirus endemic to Africa and Southeast Asia, was thought to cause only a mild, self-limiting dengue-like illness. First discovered in 1947 in Uganda, the virus became epidemic in the Pacific islands 10 years ago.

Early life functional transitions impact craniofacial morphology in osteogenesis imperfecta

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Early life behaviors have a profound role in shaping adult craniofacial morphology. During early life, all mammals undergo the dynamic transition from suckling to mastication, a period coinciding with rapid cranial biomineralization. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a genetic disorder that impacts the production of type I collagen, disrupts ...

The MRN complex is transcriptionally regulated by MYCN during neural cell proliferation to control replication stress [PDF]

, 2015
The MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN) complex is a major sensor of DNA double strand breaks, whose role in controlling faithful DNA replication and preventing replication stress is also emerging. Inactivation of the MRN complex invariably leads to developmental and/

The PP2A‐B56 Binding Site LxxIxE Contributes to Asp‐Mediated Spindle Pole Stability

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The organization of microtubules into a mitotic spindle is critical for animal cell proliferation and involves the cooperation of hundreds of proteins whose molecular roles and regulation are not fully understood. The protein product of the Drosophila gene abnormal spindle, Asp, is a microtubule‐associated protein required for correct mitotic ...

Available Evidence of Association between Zika Virus and Microcephaly

Chinese Medical Journal, 2016
Objective: To clarify the possible association between the Zika virus (ZIKV) and microcephaly and understand where we are in terms of research and the debate on the causation between mild maternal clinical features and severe fetal microcephaly.

Ophthalmological findings in infants with microcephaly and presumable intra-uterus Zika virus infection.

Arquivos Brasileiros de Oftalmologia, 2016
PURPOSE In 2015, a twenty-fold increase in the prevalence of microcephaly in Brazil was reported, and the Ministry of Health associated this abnormal prevalence with the maternal-fetal Zika virus (ZIKV) transmission.

PLK4: Master Regulator of Centriole Duplication and Its Therapeutic Potential

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centrosomes catalyze the assembly of a microtubule‐based bipolar spindle, essential for the precise chromosome segregation during cell division. At the center of this process lies Polo‐Like Kinase 4 (PLK4), the master regulator that controls the duplication of the centriolar core to ensure the correct balance of two centrosomes per dividing ...
