Vasopressin regulates the growth of the biliary epithelium in polycystic liver disease [PDF]
The neurohypophysial hormone arginine vasopressin (AVP) acts by three distinct receptor subtypes: V1a, V1b, and V2. In the liver, AVP is involved in ureogenesis, glycogenolysis, neoglucogenesis and regeneration. No data exist about the presence of AVP in

To assess the relevance of exome sequencing as a first‐tier diagnostic tool, three aspects were investigated: detection of copy number variants (CNVs) from exomes as compared to chromosomal microarray, clinically‐relevant CNVs across all sizes, and additional diagnostic utilities (uniparental disomy and triploidy).

Stem cells and fluid flow drive cyst formation in an invertebrate excretory organ.
Cystic kidney diseases (CKDs) affect millions of people worldwide. The defining pathological features are fluid-filled cysts developing from nephric tubules due to defective flow sensing, cell proliferation and differentiation.

Ciliogenesis and the DNA damage response: A stressful relationship [PDF]
Both inherited and sporadic mutations can give rise to a plethora of human diseases. Through myriad diverse cellular processes, sporadic mutations can arise through a failure to accurately replicate the genetic code or by inaccurate separation of ...

A novel homozygous missense variant in LINS1 (c.1354G>C; p.Ala452Pro) was identified in two consanguineous families with autosomal recessive intellectual disability, supporting the gene's role in neurodevelopment and its relevance in genetic diagnosis and counseling of ARID. Reported pathogenic LINS1 variants.

Prostaglandin Analogs and Eupatilin as Treatments for Nephronophthisis
Introduction: Primary cilia (PCs) are sensory antennae that are present on the majority of quiescent vertebrate cells where they mediate key signaling during development and in response to environmental stimuli.

Abnormal Hearing Phenotypes in “Ignorome” Knockout Mice as Predictors of Cognitive Dysfunction
Using data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium, we analyzed over 9000 knockout mouse lines to test whether sensory impairments predict behavioral abnormalities. Knockouts with abnormal hearing showed higher proportions of behavioral deficits, supporting hearing loss as a potential biomarker of cognitive vulnerability.
