Genetic Landscape of Robin Sequence: A Systematic Review
This systematic review summarizes the genetic landscape of Robin sequence (RS), highlighting key differences between isolated and non‐isolated forms and emphasizing the role of up‐to‐date genetic testing for diagnosis and clinical management. ABSTRACT Robin sequence (RS) is a congenital condition characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and upper ...

iTRAQ-Based Analysis of Progerin Expression Reveals Mitochondrial Dysfunction, Reactive Oxygen Species Accumulation and Altered Proteostasis [PDF]
[Abstract] Introduction. Nuclear accumulation of a mutant form of the nuclear protein Lamin-A, called Progerin (PG) or Lamin AΔ50, occurs in Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS) or Progeria, an accelerated aging disease. One of the main symptoms

Nuclear rupture at sites of high curvature compromises retention of DNA repair factors. [PDF]
The nucleus is physically linked to the cytoskeleton, adhesions, and extracellular matrix-all of which sustain forces, but their relationships to DNA damage are obscure. We show that nuclear rupture with cytoplasmic mislocalization of multiple DNA repair

Management of cataract in Werner syndrome
Werner syndrome (WS) is a rare progressive disorder. It is characterized by the appearance of unusually accelerated aging (progeria) including bilateral senile cataract. Here, we report a successful management of hypermature cataract in WS.

Understanding Health and Disease with Multidimensional Single-Cell Methods
Current efforts in the biomedical sciences and related interdisciplinary fields are focused on gaining a molecular understanding of health and disease, which is a problem of daunting complexity that spans many orders of magnitude in characteristic length

Mass spectrometry captures off-target drug binding and provides mechanistic insights into the human metalloprotease ZMPSTE24. [PDF]
Off-target binding of hydrophobic drugs can lead to unwanted side effects, either through specific or non-specific binding to unintended membrane protein targets.

Aging as a consequence of misrepair -- A novel theory of aging [PDF]
It is now increasingly realized that the underlying mechanisms which govern aging is a complex interplay of genetic regulation and damage accumulation. Aging as a result of accumulation of ‘faults’ on cellular and molecular levels, has been

Mouse models of ageing and their relevance to disease [PDF]
Ageing is a process that gradually increases the organism’s vulnerability to death. It affects different biological pathways, and the underlying cellular mechanisms are complex.

Erythrocyte Senescence in a Model of Rat Displaying Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome
Background. Increased oxidative stress is a major cause of aging and age-related diseases. Erythrocytes serve as good model for aging studies. Dihydrotachysterol is known to induce premature aging feature in rats mimicking Hutchinson-Gilford progeria ...
