Identification and characterisation of a novel microRNA implicated in phosphate homeostasis in rice : [Abstract W442] [PDF]
, 2009 MicroRNAs represent a major class of small RNAs with master regulatory functions in plants. They are 20 to 22 nt single stranded RNAs encoded by endogenous genes. These are transcribed by RNA pol II.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

The human pathogenic 91del7 mutation in SLC34A1 has no effect in mineral homeostasis in mice
Scientific Reports, 2022 Kidneys are key regulators of phosphate homeostasis. Biallelic mutations of the renal Na+/phosphate cotransporter SLC34A1/NaPi-IIa cause idiopathic infantile hypercalcemia, whereas monoallelic mutations were frequently noted in adults with kidney stones.

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.

Vitamin D and calcium metabolism in horses in New Zealand : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Veterinary Science at Institute of Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences (IVABS), Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 The physiology of vitamin D in horses has not been studied in great depth. Few studies on vitamin D metabolites (25OHD2, 25OHD3, and 1,25(OH)2D) and their relationship to other serum analytes exist. In addition, some studies suggest that equine vitamin D
