Changing nomenclature for PBC: From ‘cirrhosis’ to ‘cholangitis’ [PDF]

Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2015
The disease entity today widely called ‘primary biliary cirrhosis’ was first described by Addison and Gull in 18511 and Hanot in 1876.2 One hundred years after its first description, MacMahon and Thannhauser3 proposed the term ‘xanthomatous biliary cirrhosis’ for this disease based on the typical xanthoma formation with accumulation of cholesterol ...

Fungal Nomenclature: Managing Change is the Name of the Game

Open Forum Infectious Diseases, 2023
Abstract Fungal species have undergone and continue to undergo significant nomenclatural change, primarily due to the abandonment of dual species nomenclature in 2013 and the widespread application of molecular technologies in taxonomy allowing correction of past classification errors. These have effected numerous name changes concerning

The Taxonomic Status of Genera within the Fabeae (Vicieae), with a Special Focus on Pisum

Diversity
The taxonomy of the tribe Fabeae (Vicieae) has long been problematic, but an analysis by Schaefer et al. in 2012 gave an exceptionally clear view of the tribe and noted the possibility that some nomenclatural adjustments may be required at some future ...

Somatostatin receptor 4 (SSTR4) is a tumor suppressor in cutaneous and head & neck squamous cell carcinomas

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This study identifies somatostatin receptor 4 (Sstr4) as a critical tumor suppressor against skin and head/neck cancers (HNSCC, cSCC, and BCC). The loss of Sstr4 removes a check on cell growth, causing hyperactivation of the MAPK‐ERK signaling pathway (↑).

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Nomenclature and Taxonomy of Chibanian Hominins

PaleoAnthropology
Deciphering the taxonomic and evolutionary relationships among hominin fossils of the Chibanian (ca. 774–129 ka) is challenging. This difficulty stems from biological factors such as mosaic patterns of morphological change, evolutionary factors such as ...
