Study of human and mouse dermal fibroblast heterogeneity by single-cell RNA sequencing.
(2023-10-18)
The skin is a complex vital organ composed of several layers. The middle layer, the dermis, is mainly composed of fibroblasts that produce the extracellular matrix (ECM) providing structural support. Recent research using ...
Characterization of environment-related endophenotypes in pulmonary hypertension
(2023-03-02)
La hipertensión pulmonar (HP) es una condición compleja caracterizada por un incremento de la presión en las arterias de los pulmones, que puede dañar el lado derecho del corazón. Clásicamente se define por unos valores ...
The importance of an integrated analysis of clinical, molecular, and functional data for the genetic diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia
(Nature, 2015-12)
Purpose
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most common monogenic disorders, and the high concentrations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol presented since birth confers on these patients an increased ...
The allosteric control mechanisms of alpha-glucan biosynthesis in bacteria
(2023-10-03)
{EN]The alpha-glucans, polysaccharides made of repetitive units of glucose, play a role as energy storage, as with intracellular glycogen, or as structural components, as with the capsular alpha-glucans surrounding the ...
The T1D-associated lncRNA Lnc13 modulates human pancreatic β cell inflammation by allele-specific stabilization of STAT1 mRNA
(National Academy of Sciences, 2020-03-05)
The vast majority of type 1 diabetes (T1D) genetic association signals lie in non-coding regions of the human genome. Many have been predicted to affect the expression and secondary structure of long non-coding RNAs ...
The three lives of viral fusion peptides
(Elsevier, 2014-04)
Fusion peptides comprise conserved hydrophobic domains absolutely required for the fusogenic activity of glycoproteins from divergent virus families. After 30 years of intensive research efforts, the structures and functions ...
A long non-coding RNA that harbors a SNP associated with type 2 diabetes regulates the expression of TGM2 gene in pancreatic beta cells
(Frontiers Media, 2023-02)
IntroductionMost of the disease-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) lie in non- coding regions of the human genome. Many of these variants have been predicted to impact the expression and function of long ...
LncRNA ARGI Contributes to Virus-Induced Pancreatic β Cell Inflammation Through Transcriptional Activation of IFN-Stimulated Genes
(Wiley, 2023-09)
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a complex autoimmune disease that develops in genetically susceptible individuals. Most T1D-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are located in non-coding regions of the human genome. ...
Conjugative Coupling Proteins and the Role of Their Domains in Conjugation, Secondary Structure and in vivo Subcellular Location
(Frontiers Media, 2020-08-11)
Type IV Coupling Proteins (T4CPs) are essential elements in many type IV secretion systems (T4SSs). The members of this family display sequence, length, and domain architecture heterogeneity, being the conserved ...
