Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2020 Background and Aims: The drug resistance of hepatitis B virus (HBV) originates from mutations within HBV reverse transcriptase (RT) region during the prolonged antiviral therapy. So far, the characteristics of how these mutations distribute and evolve in

Novel and unscrutinized immune entities of the zebrafish gut
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Understudied cells of the zebrafish immune system include bona fide immune cells and epithelial (‐derived) cells with immune functions. Research focusing on zebrafish cells which demonstrate similarities to mammalian immune cell counterparts may help us understand the pathologies in which they are implicated. Currently available and advanced tools make

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2019 Since 1996, Brassica juncea has been studied in the Breeding Laboratory of Vegetable Research and Development Station Buzau. The aim of this study was to obtain genotypes with distinct phenotypic expressivity, suitable to be grown in protected spaces and

Supergenes and Complex Phenotypes [PDF]
Current Biology, 2014 Understanding the molecular underpinnings of evolutionary adaptations is a central focus of modern evolutionary biology. Recent studies have uncovered a panoply of complex phenotypes, including locally adapted ecotypes and cryptic morphs, divergent social behaviours in birds and insects, as well as alternative metabolic pathways in plants and fungi ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Single‐cell RNA sequencing reveals an opposite role of SLPI in basal tumors based on metastatic spread, along with shared activation of specific regulons in cancer cells and mature luminal lactocytes, as well as downregulation of MALAT1 and NEAT1 in the latter.

Why Phenotype Robustness Promotes Phenotype Evolvability [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017 Robustness and evolvability are fundamental characteristics of life whose relationship has intrigued generations of biologists. Studies of several genotype-phenotype maps (GPMs) such as the map between short DNA sequences and their bindings to transcription factors showed that phenotype robustness (PR) promotes phenotype evolvability (PE), but the ...

Imeglimin attenuates liver fibrosis by inhibiting vesicular ATP release from hepatic stellate cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Imeglimin, at clinically relevant concentrations, inhibits vesicular ATP accumulation and release from hepatic stellate cells, thereby attenuating purinergic signaling and reducing fibrogenic activation. This mechanism reveals a newly identified antifibrotic action of imeglimin beyond glycemic control.

RAD50 missense variants differentially affect the DNA damage response and mitotic progression
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.RAD50 incorporates into the MRN complex and initiates the DNA damage response. Furthermore, RAD50 promotes mitotic progression. RAD50 missense variants capable of forming an MRN complex supported the DNA damage response and mitotic features to different extents in complementation experiments, indicating these functions are separable and might impact ...

The Human Phenotype Ontology in 2017
Nucleic Acids Res., 2016 Deep phenotyping has been defined as the precise and comprehensive analysis of phenotypic abnormalities in which the individual components of the phenotype are observed and described.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Atovaquone is an antimalarial requiring potentiation for sufficient efficacy. We pursued strategies to enhance its activity, showing that 4‐nitrobenzoate inhibits 4‐hydroxybenzoate polyprenyltransferase, decreasing ubiquinone biosynthesis. Since atovaquone competes with ubiquinol in mitochondria, 4‐nitrobenzoate facilitates its action, potentiating ...
