ABSTRACT The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes implicated in the control of the skin barrier. However, some EDC genes are also expressed at high levels in the human oesophagus. To determine whether the expression of EDC genes in the oesophagus is evolutionarily conserved, we performed comparative transcriptomic analyses of ...

E‐Cigarette and Vanillin Exposure Disrupts Cardiovascular Development in Xenopus laevis
ABSTRACT Introduction Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are a leading cause of perinatal mortality, and maternal cigarette smoking is a well‐established risk factor. In recent years, electronic cigarette (e‐cigarette) use has surged, yet its safety during pregnancy remains poorly defined.

Deconstructing the Thymic Microenvironment Through Genesis to Senescence
ABSTRACT The thymus is essential for adaptive immunity, orchestrating the differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors into various T‐cell lineages. Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) impart this unique function by mediating the major checkpoints in T‐cell differentiation while also imposing stringent tolerance processes required to prevent autoimmunity ...

ABSTRACT SATB2‐associated syndrome (SAS) is characterized by intellectual disability, neurodevelopmental disorders, cleft palate, and dental abnormalities. SAS is caused by variants in the special AT‐rich sequence‐binding protein 2 (SATB2), which encodes a transcription factor containing two CUT domains and a homeobox (HOX) domain.
