ABSTRACT Objective Epilepsy is increasingly associated with immune dysregulation and inflammation. The T cell receptor (TCR), a key mediator of adaptive immunity, shows repertoire alterations in various immune‐mediated diseases. The unique TCR sequence serves as a molecular barcode for T cells, and clonal expansion accompanied by reduced overall TCR ...

Group Specific Antigen and RNA-Directed DNA Polymerase Activity in Normal Baboon Placenta
SummaryC-Type particles were observed in normal baboon placentas at various stages of gestation. This tissue was found to have interspecies specific antigens of the C-type RNA tumor viruses and RNA-directed DNA polymerase activity that could not be inhibited by antisera prepared against the previously recognized reverse transcriptases of several RNA ...

Loss of Stat3 in Prx1+ Progenitors Impairs Molar Root Development
Stat3 critically regulates mandibular first molar and alveolar bone morphogenesis. Conditional ablation of Stat3 disrupts the osteogenic capacity of Prx1+ mesenchymal progenitors, as evidenced across in vivo and in vitro models. Abstract Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription 3 (Stat3) acts as a central transcriptional modulator coordinating ...

Engineering the Link: From Genome Interaction Maps to Functional Insight
Advances in chromosome conformation capture have revealed the genome's 3D organization, yet its causal impact on gene regulation remains elusive. This review highlights emerging genome‐engineering tools ‐ zinc fingers, TALEs, and CRISPR‐Cas9 ‐ that enable targeted manipulation of chromatin loops to dissect structure–function relationships. It discusses

Transcriptional control of the H-NS antagonists LeuO and RcsB-BglJ in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The bacterial nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) H-NS is involved in the organization and compaction of the bacterial chromatin and acts as a global respressor, mainly of genes that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer and that are related to ...
