Exploration, EarlyView.Selenium (Se) is a crucial element in selenoproteins, key biomolecules for physiological function in vivo. Central nervous system can express all 25 kinds of selenoproteins, which protect neurons by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory response. Neuroprotection is being investigated through the biological study of Se.

RTEL1 Inhibits Trinucleotide Repeat Expansions and Fragility [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2014 Human RTEL1 is an essential, multifunctional helicase that maintains telomeres, regulates homologous recombination, and helps prevent bone marrow failure. Here, we show that RTEL1 also blocks trinucleotide repeat expansions, the causal mutation for 17 neurological diseases.

An investigation into the transcription factors and regulatory mechanisms of Aspergillus
Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Foodborne pathogen Aspergillus, a prevalent etiologic agent among filamentous fungi, are distinguished by a significant repertoire of transcription factors encoded within their genomes. These regulatory proteins are instrumental in orchestrating key biological processes, including cellular growth, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, mycotoxin production,

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Genetic factors play a central role in neurodegenerative disorders. Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in identifying the causative genes of numerous monogenic disorders, largely due to the widespread adoption of next‐generation sequencing (NGS) technologies in both research and clinical settings.

Context Dependence of Trinucleotide Repeat Structures [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2010 Long repeated sequences of DNA and their associated secondary structure govern the development and severity of a significant class of neurological diseases. Utilizing the effect of base stacking on fluorescence quantum yield, 2-aminopurine substitutions for adenine previously demonstrated sequestered bases in the stem and exposed bases in the loop for ...

Long tract of untranslated CAG repeats is deleterious in transgenic mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The most frequent trinucleotide repeat found in human disorders is the CAG sequence. Expansion of CAG repeats is mostly found in coding regions and is thought to cause diseases through a protein mechanism.
