DNA methylation dynamics in aging: How far are we from understanding the mechanisms? [PDF]

, 2018
DNA methylation is currently the most promising molecular marker for monitoring aging and predicting life expectancy. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related DNA methylation changes remain mostly undiscovered.Here we discuss the current knowledge ...

Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

Kaelin Rapport - Histological Techniques for the Sex Determination of Skeletonized Human Remains [PDF]

, 2014
Determining the sex of skeletons is problematic in forensic and bio-archaeological research. Past studies demonstrate that bone cells can sometimes contain preserved sex chromosomal material in ancient samples. The sex chromosomes in skeletal remains may

Common variation near ROBO2 is associated with expressive vocabulary in infancy [PDF]

, 2014
Twin studies suggest that expressive vocabulary at ~24 months is modestly heritable. However, the genes influencing this early linguistic phenotype are unknown. Here we conduct a genome-wide screen and follow-up study of expressive vocabulary in toddlers

Single‐Cell Transcriptomics Unravels Growth Factor Erv1‐Like Mediated Ferroptosis as a Key Driver of Intestinal Epithelial Dysfunction in Ulcerative Colitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Single‐cell transcriptomic profiling of ulcerative colitis (UC) tissues identified downregulation of GFER in intestinal epithelial cells. Mechanistically, GFER interacts with PCBP1 to help maintain intracellular iron homeostasis and may also reduce lipid peroxidation by activating the PGC‐1α/PPARγ signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis ...

Differential cohesin loading marks paired and unpaired regions of platypus sex chromosomes at prophase I

Scientific Reports, 2017
Cohesins are vital for chromosome organisation during meiosis and mitosis. In addition to the important function in sister chromatid cohesion, these complexes play key roles in meiotic recombination, DSB repair, homologous chromosome pairing and ...

Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes display global chromatin remodelling during sexual differentiation

BMC Biology, 2023
Background The protozoan malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum has a complex life cycle during which it needs to differentiate into multiple morphologically distinct life forms.

Recent advances in malaria genomics and epigenomics [PDF]

, 2016
Malaria continues to impose a significant disease burden on low- and middle-income countries in the tropics. However, revolutionary progress over the last 3 years in nucleic acid sequencing, reverse genetics, and post-genome analyses has generated step ...

FOXQ1 Regulates Brain Endothelial Mitochondrial Function by Orchestrating Calcium Signaling and Cristae Morphology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
FOXQ1 emerges as a master transcriptional regulator of brain endothelial metabolism, orchestrating mitochondrial function through dual control of calcium signaling and cristae organization. This study reveals that brain endothelial cells rely on oxidative phosphorylation rather than glycolysis alone, challenging the current metabolic paradigm and ...

Expression of SMARCD1 interacts with age in association with asthma control on inhaled corticosteroid therapy. [PDF]

, 2020
BackgroundGlobal gene expression levels are known to be highly dependent upon gross demographic features including age, yet identification of age-related genomic indicators has yet to be comprehensively undertaken in a disease and treatment-specific ...
