Gene Dosage Sensitivity and Human Genetic Diseases
ABSTRACT Here we review the historical background and contemporary insights into genetic dominance, focusing on haploinsufficiency (HI), that is, when the function of only one allele of a gene is not enough to ensure a normal phenotype in a diploid organism.

It is well known that the small intestinal epithelial cells of mammals rapidly undergo differentiation, maturation, and apoptosis. However, few studies have defined the physiological state and gene expression changes of enterocytes along the crypt-villus

Detection and Isolation of Tissue‐Specific Extracellular Vesicles From the Blood
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized, membrane‐bound particles released by virtually all cell types, serving as messengers within tissues and across organs via the bloodstream. EVs encapsulate diverse molecular cargo that reflects the phenotypic state of their originating cells, making them promising candidates for liquid biopsy ...

BackgroundNeutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are web-like structures formed by neutrophils, and their main function is antimicrobial defense. Moreover, NETs have numerous roles in the pathogenesis and progression of cancers.

A Network of SLC and ABC Transporter and DME Genes Involved in Remote Sensing and Signaling in the Gut-Liver-Kidney Axis. [PDF]
Genes central to drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) also regulate numerous endogenous molecules. The Remote Sensing and Signaling Hypothesis argues that an ADME gene-centered network-including SLC and ABC "drug" transporters,

Evolution of placental function in mammals:the molecular basis of gas and nutrient transfer, hormone secretion, and immune responses [PDF]
Placenta has a wide range of functions. Some are supported by novel genes that have evolved following gene duplication events while others require acquisition of gene expression by the trophoblast.

Core promoter short tandem repeats as evolutionary switch codes for primate speciation [PDF]
Alteration in gene expression levels underlies many of the phenotypic differences across species. Because of their highly mutable nature, proximity to the +1 transcription start site (TSS), and the emerging evidence of functional impact on gene ...

A Review on the Role of Human Solute Carriers Transporters in Cancer
ABSTRACT Background and Aim The high rate of tumor growth results in an increased need for amino acids. As solute carriers (SLC) transporters are capable of transporting different amino acids, cancer may develop as a result of these transporters' over‐expression due to their complex formation with other biological molecules.
