Structural Mechanism behind Distinct Efficiency of Oct4/Sox2 Proteins in Differentially Spaced DNA Complexes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The octamer-binding transcription factor 4 (Oct4) and sex-determining region Y (SRY)-box 2 (Sox2) proteins induce various transcriptional regulators to maintain cellular pluripotency.

Epigenetic modification mechanism of histone demethylase KDM1A in regulating cardiomyocyte apoptosis after myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) play a prevalent role in heart-related diseases. Histone demethylases are involved in myocardial injury. In this study, the mechanism of the lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A (KDM1A/LSD1) on cardiomyocyte apoptosis ...

miR-380-3p regulates melanogenesis by targeting SOX6 in melanocytes from alpacas (Vicugna pacos)
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Melanocytes are derived from neural crest stem cells in the embryonic stage. In mature melanocytes, a series of complex enzyme-catalyzed reactions leads to the production of melanins, which determine the hair and skin colors of animals.

Roles of the Y chromosome genes in human cancers
Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015 Male and female differ genetically by their respective sex chromosome composition, that is, XY as male and XX as female. Although both X and Y chromosomes evolved from the same ancestor pair of autosomes, the Y chromosome harbors male-specific genes ...

A procedure to detect 6 basic STSs and 11 extended STSs in the AZF region using multiplex PCR
Vietnam Journal of Science, Technology and Engineering, 2022 Microdeletions of Y chromosomes frequently occur in 3 subregions of the AZF, namely, AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc, with 6 basic STS marker sequences, which are sY84, sY86 (AZFa), sY127, sY134 (AZFb), and sY254, sY255 (AZFc). According to EAA/EMNQ guidelines, 11
