MicroRNA Profiling of the Tears of Children With Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) is a chronic conjunctival inflammatory condition that typically affects children. Extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNA molecules, the expression of which is reported to regulate cellular processes ...

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

B cell mechanobiology in health and disease: emerging techniques and insights into therapeutic responses

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
B cells sense external mechanical forces and convert them into biochemical signals through mechanotransduction. Understanding how malignant B cells respond to physical stimuli represents a groundbreaking area of research. This review examines the key mechano‐related molecules and pathways in B lymphocytes, highlights the most relevant techniques to ...

Resoundings of the flesh: Caring for others by way of “second person” perspectivity

International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health & Well-Being, 2012
In bringing ourselves to the encounter with the experience of others, we bring our bodies with us—and, in doing so, we are able to resonate not only intellectually but also empathically with the other's experiences and expressions (which ...

Tear Cytokine Levels in Sicca Syndrome-Related Dry Eye: A Meta-Analysis

Diagnostics, 2023
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that affects exocrine glands, mainly salivary and lacrimal glands. Several studies have investigated cytokine profiles in tears in order to understand the pathogenesis of SS and find additional diagnostic ...
