Trans-differentiation of quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSC) into myofibroblast cells is considered the linchpin of liver fibrosis. A myriad of signaling pathways contribute to HSC activation and consequently liver fibrosis.

Transcription Regulation of the Human Telomerase Reverse Transcriptase (hTERT) Gene
Embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells have the ability to maintain their telomere length via expression of an enzymatic complex called telomerase.

The odyssey of a regulated transcript [PDF]
The transcript of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene, RPL30, is subject to regulated splicing and regulated translation, due to a structure that interacts with its own product, ribosomal protein L30. We have followed the fate of the regulated RPL30 transcripts in vivo.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Structure of the Nipah virus polymerase phosphoprotein complex
The Nipah virus (NiV), a member of the Paramyxoviridae family, is notorious for its high fatality rate in humans. The RNA polymerase machinery of NiV, comprising the large protein L and the phosphoprotein P, is essential for viral replication. This study

Transcriptional control of the H-NS antagonists LeuO and RcsB-BglJ in Escherichia coli [PDF]
The bacterial nucleoid-associated protein (NAP) H-NS is involved in the organization and compaction of the bacterial chromatin and acts as a global respressor, mainly of genes that have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer and that are related to ...

Epicatechin induces NF-kappa B, activator rotein-1 (AP-1) and nuclear transcription factor erythroid 2p45-related factor-2 (Nrf2) via phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) and extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) signalling in HepG2 cells [PDF]
The dietary flavonoid epicatechin has been reported to exhibit a wide range of biological activities. The objective of the present study was to investigate the time-dependent regulation by epicatechin on the activity of the main transcription factors (NF-

Molecular mechanism governing ratio-dependent transcription regulation in the ccdAB operon
Bacteria can become transiently tolerant to several classes of antibiotics. This phenomenon known as persistence is regulated by small genetic elements called toxin–antitoxin modules with intricate yet often poorly understood self-regulatory features ...

Transcriptional regulation by STAT6 [PDF]
Signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) proteins are critical mediators of cytokine signaling. Among the seven STAT proteins, STAT6 is activated by IL-4 and IL-13 and plays a predominant role in the immune system. However, there is increasing evidence that STAT6 may function in other tissues and organ systems.
