SETDB1 prevents TET2-dependent activation of IAP retroelements in naïve embryonic stem cells.
(2018-01-19)
BACKGROUND: Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs), which are responsible for 10% of spontaneous mouse mutations, are kept under control via several epigenetic mechanisms. The H3K9 histone methyltransferase SETDB1 is essential for ...
Imaging vulnerable plaques by targeting inflammation in atherosclerosis using fluorescent-labeled dual-ligand microparticles of iron oxide and magnetic resonance imaging.
(2018-05)
OBJECTIVE: Identification of patients with high-risk asymptomatic carotid plaques remains an elusive but essential step in stroke prevention. Inflammation is a key process in plaque destabilization and a prelude to clinical ...
Oligoclonal bands in multiple sclerosis; Functional significance and therapeutic implications. Does the specificity matter?
(2018-10)
Since their discovery, the existence of secreted oligoclonal immunoglobulin in the central nervous system in people with multiple sclerosis has been the subject of scientific investigation and debate over several decades. ...
Orchestrated control of filaggrin-actin scaffolds underpins cornification.
(2018-04-01)
Epidermal stratification critically depends on keratinocyte differentiation and programmed death by cornification, leading to formation of a protective skin barrier. Cornification is dynamically controlled by the protein ...
Does livestock protect from malaria or facilitate malaria prevalence? A cross-sectional study in endemic rural areas of Indonesia.
(2018-08-20)
BACKGROUND: Ever since it was discovered that zoophilic vectors can transmit malaria, zooprophylaxis has been used to prevent the disease. However, zoopotentiation has also been observed. Thus, the presence of livestock ...
Translating molecular advances in Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome into therapies.
(2018-06)
Ongoing treatments for genetic developmental disorders of the central nervous system are mostly symptomatic and do not correct the genetic cause. Recent identification of common mechanisms between diseases has suggested ...
Topical protection of mice laryngeal mucosa using the natural product cashew gum.
(2018-05)
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Evaluate the effect of in vitro exposure of mice laryngeal mucosa to solutions that simulated human gastric juice and to assess the topical protective effect of cashew gum on mice laryngeal mucosal ...
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 ...
