Molecular medicine of microRNAs: structure, function and implications for diabetes [PDF]

, 2008
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a family of endogenous small noncoding RNA molecules, of 19–28 nucleotides in length. In humans, up to 3% of all genes are estimated to encode these evolutionarily conserved sequences.

Natural Variation in TaFAD8‐D Promoter Enhances Thermotolerance in Wheat Through Fatty Acid and Lipid Remodelling

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) has become an increasing threat to wheat productivity under global warming. However, the genetic loci for thermotolerance and the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown. In this study, genetic mapping identified a thermotolerance locus, QMpe.cau‐2D, encoding fatty acid desaturase 8 (FAD8), with the transposable

A Highly Conserved SNARE‐Associated Protein Enhances Plant Immunity by Regulating Vesicle Trafficking

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The plant endomembrane system and vesicle trafficking are central to plant immunity, mediating the targeted delivery and recycling of defence molecules during pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the functional role of soybean Vacuole Membrane Protein 1 (GmVMP1) in mediating resistance against soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines).

Downregulation of genes with a function in axon outgrowth and synapse formation in motor neurones of the VEGF(delta/delta) mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

, 2010
Background: Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an endothelial cell mitogen that stimulates vasculogenesis. It has also been shown to act as a neurotrophic factor in vitro and in vivo.

How copy number variations shape brain developmental disorders: Unraveling the synaptic puzzle

Psychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, EarlyView.
Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), such as schizophrenia (SCZ), Attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), learning disabilities, and intellectual disabilities (ID), are highly prevalent. One significant genetic factor associated with NDDs is copy number variations (CNVs), which are structural changes in the ...

Distribution of plasma membrane-associated syntaxins 1 through 4 indicates distinct trafficking functions in the synaptic layers of the mouse retina

BMC Neuroscience, 2006
Background Syntaxins 1 through 4 are SNAP receptor (SNARE) proteins that mediate vesicular trafficking to the plasma membrane. In retina, syntaxins 1 and 3 are expressed at conventional and ribbon synapses, respectively, suggesting that synaptic ...

A syntaxin 10-SNARE complex distinguishes two distinct transport routes from endosomes to the trans-Golgi in human cells [PDF]

, 2008
Mannose 6-phosphate receptors (MPRs) are transported from endosomes to the Golgi after delivering lysosomal enzymes to the endocytic pathway. This process requires Rab9 guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) and the putative tether GCC185.

STXBP1 promotes Weibel-Palade body exocytosis through its interaction with the Rab27A effector Slp4-a. [PDF]

, 2014
Vascular endothelial cells contain unique rod-shaped secretory organelles, called Weibel-Palade bodies (WPBs), which contain the hemostatic protein von Willebrand factor (VWF) and a cocktail of angiogenic and inflammatory mediators.

Proteomic Analysis of Regulated Dendritic Cell Endosomes Reveals Dynamic Adaptation to Antigen Uptake and Cross‐Presentation

European Journal of Immunology, Volume 56, Issue 2, February 2026.
Phagocytosis of yeast activates recruitment of proteases and trafficking factors from the secretory and endosomal pathways to the IRAP compartment and subsequently phagosomes, promoting cross‐presentation. In the absence of Sec22b, IRAP endosome and phagosome maturation to late endosomes is accelerated.

Research Progress of Exosome‐Derived microRNA in Alcohol Use Disorders: A Critical Review

Addiction Biology, Volume 31, Issue 2, February 2026.
Exosome‐derived microRNAs represent stable and mechanistically active mediators of alcohol‐induced multi‐organ injury. This review summarizes how chronic alcohol exposure reshapes exosomal miRNA cargo across the liver, immune system, and brain, highlighting key miRNAs with diagnostic value and therapeutic potential.
