Putative Genomic Signatures of Local Adaptation in Five Local Indonesian Sheep Reveal Selection on Immunity, Reproduction, and Production Traits

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We determined the genetic structure and signatures of selection in five local Indonesian sheep breeds using genome‐wide SNP data. By integrating population structure analyses with runs of homozygosity and haplotype‐based selection scans, we identified breed‐specific genomic regions associated with immunity, reproduction, pigmentation, metabolism, and ...

Integrative Bioinformatics Analysis Reveals COL13A1 and COL23A1 as Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers in Thyroid Cancer

open access: yesHealth Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Thyroid cancer, the most prevalent endocrine malignancy globally, poses challenges owing to the limited understanding of its molecular drivers. Previous research has highlighted collagen genes, such as COL13A1 and COL23A1, as key players in thyroid cancer.

Estrogen receptor β regulates sex‐dependent airway mechanics and inflammation in a murine model of allergen exposure

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 11, June 2026.
Abstract Sex differences in asthma severity have been reported; however, the specific contribution of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) remains incompletely defined. We tested the hypothesis that ERβ modulates sex‐specific physiological responses to chronic allergen exposure using C57BL/6J wild‐type (WT) and ERβ‐deficient (Esr2−/−) male and female mice ...

Substrate for Thyroid Hormone Synthesis: Biochemistry, Evolution, and Physiology

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 8, 30 April 2026.
Two proposed sequence of events for thyroxine formation in patients expressing mutant thyroglobulin. (A) (1) TSH stimulation drives expression of misfolded TG. (2) Unremitting ER stress. (3) Stress‐induced cell death. (4) Dead thyrocytes release their contents. (5) The contents become iodinated. (6) Forming thyroxine.

Advances in the Treatment of Sensorineural Hearing Loss: From Traditional Therapies to Stem Cell and Gene Therapies

open access: yesAdvanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, April 2026.
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs in 1.5 billion globally, primary driven by damage of cochlear hair cells and spiral ganglion neurons. This review systematically examines current therapeutic strategies for sensorineural hearing loss, including traditional drug and physical therapies as well as emerging stem cell and gene therapies, providing a ...

Role of Hearing Loss Genes in the Sensory Epithelia Associated With Meniere Disease

open access: yesSensory Neuroscience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Meniere disease (MD) is an inner ear disorder characterized by episodic vertigo, tinnitus, fluctuating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and aural fullness. Its hallmark pathological feature is endolymphatic hydrops. MD shows significant familial clustering in European and East Asian populations, supporting a strong genetic component in ...

Branchial localization of acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) excreting ionocytes in Amazonian stenohaline freshwater Potamotrygon ray

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 922-931, March 2026.
Abstract The branchial epithelium of Potamotrygon—a member of the only strictly freshwater elasmobranch family Potamotrygonidae—was observed via immunohistochemistry, and two distinct forms of ionocytes were identified. The acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) secreting cells with respective basolateral–apical localizations of Na+/K+‐ATPase–Na+/H+ exchanger

Mouse Models for Pendrin-Associated Loss of Cochlear and Vestibular Function

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
The human gene SLC26A4 and the mouse ortholog Slc26a4 code for the protein pendrin, which is an anion exchanger expressed in apical membranes of selected epithelia.

Effects of cAMP and CFTR modulation on apical fluid pH in human airway Calu‐3 cells

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, February 2026.
Abstract The airway epithelium serves as the first line of defense against inhaled insults present in the external environment by acting as a physical barrier and through host defense mechanisms. Proper maintenance of these host defense mechanisms relies on the regulation of airway surface liquid (ASL) composition and properties, a process that is ...
