Archaea rely on motility and morphological plasticity to navigate their environments, yet the transcriptional regulation of these processes remains poorly understood. In Haloferax volcanii, archaellum-dependent motility is transcriptionally regulated, but an EarA-like central regulator for …
Read PDFThe evaluation of therapeutic response is essential in disease monitoring both for disease status and treatment efficacy in inflammatory bowel disease. Here, we focused on the use of positron emission tomography directed towards granzyme B, …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorders (leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis) are prevalent and clinically significant oral diseases. Actin, crucial for epithelial tissue integrity, undergoes cytoskeleton reorganization associated with increased invasiveness in oral cancer.<h4>Material …
Read PDFHigh mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1) is a chromatin regulator overexpressed in various cancers, often predicting poor outcomes. However, its role in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains unclear. A hallmark of HNSCC …
Read PDFNutritional studies in the cattle typically focus on the rumen and its microbial environment, leaving other parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract largely unexplored. Thus, underlying molecular mechanisms and the responses to dietary treatment in …
Read PDFTherapeutic use of electroconvulsive shock (ECS) is particularly effective for treatment-resistant depression. Like other more common forms of antidepressant treatment, such as SSRIs, ECS has been shown to increase neurogenesis in the hippocampal dentate gyrus …
Read PDFNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exhibits disparate responses to anti-angiogenic therapies between its two major histologic subtypes, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC), suggesting a histotype-dependent angiogenesis regulation. Tumor-associated fibroblasts (TAFs) exhibit an …
Read PDFGenomic studies of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) have identified several relevant genomic variants. EBF3 is a gene with an excess of protein-coding de novo variants and underlies Hypotonia, Ataxia, and Delayed Development Syndrome. We previously identified …
Read PDFEP300, a frequently mutated transcriptional coactivator in bladder cancer, has been demonstrated to positively correlate with malignancy in various cancers. Highly aggressive bladder cancers are often associated with muscle-invasive progression, a process closely linked to …
Read PDFOver the past decade, thousands of putative human RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been identified, increasing the need for methods that define their RNA-binding capacities across diverse biological settings. Existing methods rely either on antibody-based in …
Read PDFGain or amplification of chromosome 1q (+1q) is a common genomic alteration occurring in the plasma cells in nearly 40% of multiple myeloma patients. Although it is associated with inferior outcomes and is more common …
Read PDFFibroblasts are key potentiators of chronic disease pathophysiology. Despite their established roles in promoting pathological inflammation and tissue remodeling, activated myofibroblasts are generally characterized as a single, homogeneous cell population, obscuring critical functional distinctions. Defining …
Read PDFPancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the deadliest forms of human malignancy, and there is an urgency to develop more effective therapy. We previously showed that Metavert, a dual inhibitor of glycogen synthase kinase …
Read PDFStrawberry ripening is non-climacteric, and post-harvest fruit enter senescence and deteriorate rapidly. Chilled storage induces transcriptome-wide changes in gene expression, including down-regulation of aroma-related genes. Histone marks are associated with transcriptional activation or repression; the …
Read PDF<h4>Objectives</h4><i>Gentiana macrophylla</i> Pall. (Gentianaceae) is a medicinally important perennial herb. Iridoids are the main chemical constituents of <i>G. macrophylla.</i> The scarcity of the wild resource has led to increased attention to cultivated <i>G. macrophylla</i>. However, …
Read PDFR-loops, three-stranded nucleic acid structures formed by an RNA-DNA hybrid, have emerged as important regulators of transcription and genome stability. Although advances in high-throughput sequencing have revealed widespread R-loop landscapes, platform-specific biases hinder the identification …
Read PDFInherited retinal degenerations, such as retinitis pigmentosa, are a leading cause of irreversible vision loss, yet broadly effective treatments remain elusive. Impaired cellular waste clearance via autophagy-lysosomal pathways have been implicated in photoreceptor death, but …
Read PDFMaturing human pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) in vitro is critical for advancing drug discovery and cardiotoxicity screening applications of these cells. However, the metabolic compositions of basal media used for hPSC-CM culture typically offer …
Read PDFAdeno-associated virus (AAV) is a promising delivery system for gene therapy. However, current manufacturing of AAV suffers from very low yields compared to other biotherapeutics. The AAV dose per patient ranges between 10<sup>11</sup>and 10<sup>15</sup> viral …
Read PDF<i>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</i> (Gc) is the gram-negative bacterium that causes gonorrhea, a prevalent sexually transmitted infection that can have life-threatening clinical sequelae. Gc requires iron for human infection and uses the iron-responsive, iron-binding transcriptional repressor Fur …
