The human RBPome: From genes and proteins to human disease [PDF]
RNA binding proteins (RBPs) play a central role in mediating post transcriptional regulation of genes. However less is understood about them and their regulatory mechanisms.

Supernatants derived from chemotherapy-treated cancer cell lines can modify angiogenesis [PDF]
BACKGROUND: There is evidence that tumours produce substances such as cytokines and microvesicular bodies bearing bioactive molecules, which support the carcinogenic process.

Tissue metabolic changes drive cytokine responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
Cellular metabolism can influence host immune responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Using a systems biology approach, differential expression of 292 metabolic genes involved in glycolysis, glutathione, pyrimidine and inositol phosphate pathways ...

Transcription of the human mitochondrial genome produces a vast amount of non-coding antisense RNAs. These RNA species can form G-quadraplexes (G4), which affect their decay. We found that the mitochondrial degradosome, a complex of RNA helicase SUPV3L1 (

A Mutation in PNPT1, Encoding Mitochondrial-RNA-Import Protein PNPase, Causes Hereditary Hearing Loss [PDF]
A subset of nuclear-encoded RNAs has to be imported into mitochondria for the proper replication and transcription of the mitochondrial genome and, hence, for proper mitochondrial function. Polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase or PNPT1) is one of the very few components known to be involved in this poorly characterized process in mammals.

MicroRNA expression, survival, and response to interferon in liver cancer [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Hepatocellular carcinoma is a common and aggressive cancer that occurs mainly in men. We examined microRNA expression patterns, survival, and response to interferon alfa in both men and women with the disease.

Comparison of the Effects of Early Pregnancy with Human Interferon, Alpha 2 (IFNA2), on Gene Expression in Bovine Endometrium [PDF]
Interferon tau (IFNT), a type I IFN similar to alpha IFNs (IFNA), is the pregnancy recognition signal produced by the ruminant conceptus. To elucidate specific effects of bovine IFNT and of other conceptus-derived factors, endometrial gene expression ...

Comparative transcriptome analysis of embryonic and adult stem cells with extended and limited differentiation capacity [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Recently, several populations of postnatal stem cells, such as multipotent adult progenitor cells (MAPCs), have been described that have broader differentiation ability than classical adult stem cells.
