Early life diet conditions the molecular response to post-weaning protein restriction in the mouse.
(2018-05-02)
BACKGROUND: Environmental influences fluctuate throughout the life course of an organism. It is therefore important to understand how the timing of exposure impacts molecular responses. Herein, we examine the responses of ...
Rings and Bricks: Expression of Cohesin Components is Dynamic during Development and Adult Life.
(2018-02-01)
Cohesin complex components exert fundamental roles in animal cells, both canonical in cell cycle and non-canonical in gene expression regulation. Germline mutations in genes coding for cohesins result in developmental ...
Maternal omega-3 fatty acids regulate offspring obesity through persistent modulation of gut microbiota.
(2018-05-24)
BACKGROUND: The early-life gut microbiota plays a critical role in host metabolism in later life. However, little is known about how the fatty acid profile of the maternal diet during gestation and lactation influences the ...
CADM1 inhibits squamous cell carcinoma progression by reducing STAT3 activity.
(Springer Nature, 2016-04-01)
Although squamous cell carcinomas (SqCCs) of the lungs, head and neck, oesophagus, and cervix account for up to 30% of cancer deaths, the mechanisms that regulate disease progression remain incompletely understood. Here, ...
PINK1 deficiency in β-cells increases basal insulin secretion and improves glucose tolerance in mice.
(Royal Society, 2014-05-07)
The Parkinson's disease (PD) gene, PARK6, encodes the PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) mitochondrial kinase, which provides protection against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. Given the link between glucose ...
Selective autoantibody production by Yaa+ B cells in autoimmune Yaa(+)-Yaa- bone marrow chimeric mice.
(Rockefeller University Press, 1991-11-01)
The accelerated autoimmune syndrome observed in BXSB/MpJ male mice is associated with the presence on the Y chromosome of an as yet unidentified mutant gene, designated Y chromosome-linked autoimmune acceleration (Yaa). ...
Mechanism of gram-positive shock: identification of peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid moieties essential in the induction of nitric oxide synthase, shock, and multiple organ failure.
(1998-07-20)
The incidence of septic shock caused by gram-positive bacteria has risen markedly in the last few years. It is largely unclear how gram-positive bacteria (which do not contain endotoxin) cause shock and multiple organ ...
Incremental data integration for tracking genotype-disease associations.
(2020-01)
Functional annotation of genes remains a challenge in fundamental biology and is a limiting factor for translational medicine. Computational approaches have been developed to process heterogeneous data into meaningful ...
Acquired immune heterogeneity and its sources in human helminth infection.
(2011-02)
Similarities in the immunobiology of different parasitic worm infections indicate that co-evolution of humans and helminths has shaped a common anti-helminth immune response. However, recent in vitro and immuno-epidemiological ...
T-cell reconstitution after thymus xenotransplantation induces hair depigmentation and loss.
(2013-05)
Here we present a mouse model for T-cell targeting of hair follicles, linking the pathogenesis of alopecia to that of depigmentation disorders. Clinically, thymus transplantation has been successfully used to treat T-cell ...
