Myeloid apolipoprotein E controls dendritic cell antigen presentation and T cell activation.
(2018-08-06)
Cholesterol homeostasis has a pivotal function in regulating immune cells. Here we show that apolipoprotein E (apoE) deficiency leads to the accumulation of cholesterol in the cell membrane of dendritic cells (DC), resulting ...
Contributions of Function-Altering Variants in Genes Implicated in Pubertal Timing and Body Mass for Self-Limited Delayed Puberty.
(2018-02-01)
Context: Self-limited delayed puberty (DP) is often associated with a delay in physical maturation, but although highly heritable the causal genetic factors remain elusive. Genome-wide association studies of the timing of ...
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 ...
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 ...
Murine hematopoietic stem cell activity is derived from pre-circulation embryos but not yolk sacs.
(2018-12-20)
The embryonic site of definitive hematopoietic stem cell (dHSC) origination has been debated for decades. Although an intra-embryonic origin is well supported, the yolk sac (YS) contribution to adult hematopoiesis remains ...
