Functional role of the Frizzled linker domain in the Wnt signaling pathway
Communications Biology, 2022 The linker domain of Frizzled receptors has a varying effect on the functional levels of canonical and non-canonical Wnt signaling, with FZD chimeras influencing the binding of Wnt proteins and the recruitment of proteins regulating downstream signaling.

Sequencing refractory regions in bird genomes are hotspots for accelerated protein evolution
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Approximately 1000 protein encoding genes common for vertebrates are still unannotated in avian genomes. Are these genes evolutionary lost or are they not yet found for technical reasons?

In vivo effect of dried chicory root (Cichorium intybus L.) on xenobiotica metabolising cytochrome P450 enzymes in porcine liver [PDF]
, 2011 Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are widely studied for their involvement in metabolism of drugs and endogenous compounds. In porcine liver, CYP1A2,2Aand 2E1 are important for the metabolism of skatole.Feeding chicory roots to pigs is known to decrease the ...

Tissue environment, not ontogeny, defines murine intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes
eLife, 2021 Tissue-resident intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes (T-IEL) patrol the gut and have important roles in regulating intestinal homeostasis. T-IEL include both induced T-IEL, derived from systemic antigen-experienced lymphocytes, and natural T-IEL ...

Quality control of protein reagents for the improvement of research data reproducibility
Nature Communications, 2021 Proteins and peptides are amongst the most widely used research reagents but often their quality is inadequate and can result in poor data reproducibility. Here we propose a simple set of guidelines that, when correctly applied to protein reagents should

Tadalafil modulates aromatase activity and androgen receptor expression in a human osteoblastic cell in vitro model [PDF]
, 2016 Purpose Phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitor (PDE5i) tadalafil administration in men with erectile dysfunction is associated with increased testosterone/estradiol ratio, leading to hypothesize a potential increased effect of androgen action on target ...
