Molecular mimicry: An explanation for autoimmune diseases and infertility
Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2018 Microorganisms execute an enthralling range of adjustments to survive in the host. Among the various strategies employed by microorganisms to surmount the host immune response, the phenomenon of molecular mimicry empowers the microorganisms to manoeuvre ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Base editing using nanoneedles efficiently corrects pathogenic variants in the type VII collagen gene of primary fibroblasts from patients with recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. Nanoneedle editing induces minimal and reversible transcriptional perturbations while restoring the production and secretion of functional type VII collagen.

The role of tunable activation thresholds in the dynamics of autoimmunity [PDF]
J. Theor. Biol. 308, 45-55 (2012), 2012 It has been known for some time that human autoimmune diseases can be triggered by viral infections. Several possible mechanisms of interactions between a virus and immune system have been analysed, with a prevailing opinion being that the onset of autoimmunity can in many cases be attributed to "molecular mimicry", where linear peptide epitopes ...

Molecular mimicry in autoimmune disease [PDF]
Archives of Disease in Childhood, 1998 The origins of autoimmune disease are multifactorial. Environmental factors and a genetic predisposition result in tissue injury caused by autoreactive T cells or antibodies. Usually a single organ or individual cell type is affected in the absence of gross abnormalities of the immune system.

Two SOX11 variants cause Coffin–Siris syndrome with a new feature of sensorineural hearing loss
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, Volume 191, Issue 1, Page 183-189, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Coffin‐Siris syndrome (CSS, OMIM#135900) is a rare congenital disorder associated with neurodevelopmental and dysmorphic features. The primary cause of CSS is pathogenic variants in any of 9 BAF chromatin‐remodeling complex encoding genes or the genes SOX11 and PHF6. Herein, we performed whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and a series of analyses of

The protective effects of Xuebijing injection on intestinal injuries of mice exposed to irradiation
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 565-574, December 2022., 2022 Xuebijing injections (XBJ) is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), approved for the sepsis treatment of by the China Food and Drug Administration. XBJ can effectively enhance the mice survival rate after total body irradiation (TBI). XBJ protects the crypt‐villus structure, maintains the proliferation and differentiation of the small intestine after ...

Sequence design-based control of DNA droplets formed from phase separation of DNA nanostructures [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 DNA has the potential to realize a controllable liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) system, because the design of its base sequences results in programmable interactions. Here, we have developed a novel DNA-based LLPS system which enables us to create 'DNA droplets' and to control their dynamic behaviour by designing sequences of the DNA ...
