Alms1 KO Rat: A New Model of Cardiometabolic Syndrome With Spontaneous Hypertension
ABSTRACT Alström syndrome 1 (ALMS1) is a protein linked to Alström syndrome, a rare genetic disorder characterized by obesity, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and hypertension. Genetic studies have further associated Alms1 with hypertension in human populations. However, the precise mechanisms by which ALMS1 regulates metabolic and cardiovascular

Skin Colour in Salamanders Is Modulated by Both Epitranscriptomic Methylation and Gene Expression
ABSTRACT Animal colouration is a key trait in organismal biology, being involved in natural and sexual selection, competition, and communication. Amphibians use their highly diverse colouration in many ecological interactions, but the molecular bases of their colour variation are less well understood than in other vertebrate systems. While the genetic,

Mitochondrial dysfunction and adipogenic reduction by prohibitin silencing in 3T3-L1 cells. [PDF]
Increase in mitochondrial biogenesis has been shown to accompany brown and white adipose cell differentiation. Prohibitins (PHBs), comprised of two evolutionarily conserved proteins, prohibitin-1 (PHB1) and prohibitin-2 (PHB2), are present in a high ...

Silencing a prohibitin alters plant development and senescence [PDF]
SummaryProhibitins, highly conserved mitochondrial proteins, have been shown to play important roles in cell cycling and senescence in animals and yeast. Sequences with high similarity to prohibitins have been identified in a number of plant species, but their function has not yet been demonstrated. The deduced amino acid sequences of PhPHB1 and PhPHB2,

A Rare NPHS2 Mutation (E130K) in Hereditary Steroid‐Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome: A Case Report
Hereditary steroid‐resistant nephrotic syndrome (HSRNS) due to mutations in the NPHS2 gene (encoding podocin) is a rare genetic condition that typically presents in childhood. We report a case of a 2‐year‐and‐8‐month‐old male, the seventh child of consanguineous parents, who presented with recurrent fever, febrile tonic‐clonic seizures, and periorbital
