Brain glucose dysregulation is shared by Alzheimer's disease (AD) and diabetes, but whether it arises from central or peripheral mechanisms remains unclear. Amylin, a pancreatic hormone, normally supports CNS cAMP-PKA signaling, metabolism and memory; however, …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Normalization is a critical step in quantitative PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) experiments to ensure accurate and reproducible gene expression analysis. However, commonly used endogenous controls such as miR-16 for miRNA assays and …
Read PDFOncogenic fusion transcription factors (TFs) frequently drive hematopoietic malignancies by altering gene expression in key developmental programs. TCF3::HLF is a fusion TF that characterizes a rare, treatment-resistant subtype of B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia [t(17;19) …
Read PDFDirect reprogramming offers a powerful approach to generate therapeutic cell types, but progress is limited by an incomplete understanding of transcription factor (TF) cooperativity. Here, we present a protocol for performing combinatorial TF screening to …
Read PDFCytidine to uridine (C-to-U) as well as adenosine to inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing denotes the posttranscriptional modification of RNA by specialized RNA deaminases. As RNA editing alters the sequence of the RNA, it can affect …
Read PDFAlveolar macrophages (AMs) are key mediators of lung function and are potential targets for therapies during respiratory infections. TGFβ is an important regulator of AM differentiation and maintenance, but how TGFβ directly modulates the innate …
Read PDFThe gynoecium, a highly specialized structure in flowering plants, ensures their high reproductive success through the control of different crucial steps spanning from ovule protection to fertilization and seed maturation and dispersion. Multiple bpc mutants …
Read PDFAllergic asthma is characterized by type 2 inflammation and overnight worsening of symptoms, yet dynamic fluxes in cellular metabolic profiles driving time-of-day variation remain poorly defined. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central mediators …
Read PDFAdenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a major epitranscriptomic mechanism, yet its contribution to non-coding RNA regulation during neurodegeneration is largely unknown. SINE B2 RNAs represent the dominant editing substrates in mice and have been shown …
Read PDFImmune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer treatment, yet predicting patient response remains a major challenge. Carcinoma ecotypes, which capture the cancer-immune interactions, show promise as prognostic biomarkers but remain untested in real-world settings. We …
Read PDFConjugative plasmids drive bacterial evolution and antibiotic resistance spread, yet their gene expression must be silenced to protect the host. A histone-like protein H-NS represses many mobile and sedentary xenogenes but fails to silence the …
Read PDFSoil salinity is an increasing environmental constraint affecting agriculture worldwide, with major impacts on wheat (<i>Triticum aestivum</i>) productivity. Understanding the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying salt tolerance is therefore essential for crop improvement. The basic helix-loop-helix …
Read PDFInterleukin (IL)-1α is a pro-inflammatory member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily and is important for inflammatory responses to infection and injury. Unlike pro-IL-1β, pro-IL-1α is mainly localised to the nucleus upon expression. This is mediated …

Read PDFRetinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an inherited retinal disorder characterized by the progressive loss of photoreceptors that currently lacks effective treatment. Here, we investigated the effects of the PRPF8-Y2334N variant on neural retina cells using human …
Read PDFEpithelial-mesenchymal plasticity (EMP) is activated in carcinoma cells to drive metastasis and chemoresistance. Recently, we demonstrated that EMP activation results in an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and immunotherapy resistance in a syngeneic orthotopic murine model. However, …
Read PDFBiologics, protein- and peptide-based drugs derived from living organisms or cell lines have emerged as effective therapies across a broad range of indications. However, parenteral administration and the need for frequent dosing increase costs and …
Read PDFThere remains a critical unmet need for effective, accessible, and well-tolerated therapies for myasthenia gravis (MG) who are refractory to current immunotherapies. The janus kinase and signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway …
