Telomeres, telomerase and premature ovarian failure

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2011
Telomeres are specialized structures at the ends of chromosomes, consisting of six repeated nucleotides in TTAGGG sequence. Genome stability is partly maintained by the architecture of telomeres and is gradually lost as telomeres progressively shorten ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Impaired endothelial function in young women with premature ovarian failure: Normalization with hormone therapy

open access: yes, 2004
Normal menopause is associated with vascular endothelial dysfunction, an early stage of atherosclerosis. The effect of premature ovarian failure ( or premature menopause) on endothelial function in young women is unknown.

NOBOX Homeobox Mutation Causes Premature Ovarian Failure

open access: yes, 2007
NOBOX (newborn ovary homeobox gene) is an oocyte-specific homeobox gene that plays a critical role in early folliculogenesis and represents a candidate gene for nonsyndromic ovarian failure.

Blubber Thickening Driven by UCP1 Inactivation: Insights from a Cetacean‐Like Transgenic Mouse Model

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
UCP1 inactivation of cetaceans in mice drives BAT whitening and iWAT hyperplasia, promoting fat accumulation for aquatic adaptation. Abstract Cetaceans possess thick blubber, a specialized adipose tissue essential for thermal insulation, a streamlined body form, energy storage, and buoyancy. However, the mechanisms that underpin this adaptation are not
