(eLife, 2019-09-03)Some oscine songbird species modify their songs throughout their lives ('adult song plasticity' or 'open-ended learning'), while others crystallize their songs around sexual maturity. It remains unknown whether the strength ...
-
(Aging Cell, 2019-08)CpG-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (CGS) have the potential to perturb DNA methylation; however, their effects on Alzheimer disease (AD) risk have not been evaluated systematically. We conducted a genome-wide ...
-
(BMC Developmental Biology, 2019-07-08)BackgroundThe Tet protein family (Tet1, Tet2, and Tet3) regulate DNA methylation through conversion of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine which can ultimately result in DNA demethylation and play a critical role ...
-
(Cells, 2020-01)Exploring the interactions between the Ca2+ binding protein calmodulin (CaM) and its target proteins remains a challenging task. Members of the Munc13 protein family play an essential role in short-term synaptic plasticity, ...
-
(Global Health Action, 2019-01)The emigration of physicians and scientists from resource-constrained countries decreases the country's ability to undertake research. Re-establishing research environments and increasing capacity reduced by these losses ...
-
(PLOS Pathogens, 2019-06)Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) is an extracellular diarrheagenic human pathogen which infects the apical plasma membrane of the small intestinal enterocytes. EPEC utilizes a type III secretion system to translocate bacterial ...
-
(Journal of Cell Biology, 2019-09)Dynamic organization of microtubule minus ends is vital for the formation and maintenance of acentrosomal microtubule arrays. In vitro, both microtubule ends switch between phases of assembly and disassembly, a behavior ...
-
(Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019)BACKGROUND & AIMS: Pancreatitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and is a risk factor for pancreatic tumorigenesis. Upon tissue damage, an inflammatory response, made up largely of macrophages, provides multiple ...
-
Point mutations in the PDX1 transactivation domain impair human beta-cell development and function (Molecular Metabolism, 2019-06)Objective: Hundreds of missense mutations in the coding region of PDX1 exist; however, if these mutations predispose to diabetes mellitus is unknown. Methods: In this study, we screened a large cohort of subjects with ...
-
(Cell Reports, 2020-03-03)Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is an important regulator of signal transduction pathways and a tumor suppressor. Phosphorylation of the PP2A catalytic subunit (PP2A(C)) at tyrosine 307 has been claimed to inactivate PP2A ...
-
(Cells, 2020-01)The effect of anti-diabetic thiazolidinediones (TZDs) on contributing to heart failure and cardiac ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury is controversial. In this study we investigated the effect of select TZDs on myocardial ...
-
(Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2019)BACKGROUND & AIMS: The Onecut 1 transcription factor (Oc1, a.k.a. HNF6) promotes differentiation of endocrine and duct cells of the pancreas; however, it has no known role in acinar cell differentiation. We sought to better ...
-
(Life Science Alliance, 2020-02)microRNAs are short regulatory RNAs in metazoan cells. Regulation of miRNA activity and abundance is evident in human cells where availability of target messages can influence miRNA biogenesis by augmenting the Dicer1-dependent ...
-
(Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020-02-11)The increased availability of tumor genetic testing and targeted cancer therapies contributes to the advancement of precision medicine in the field of oncology. Precision oncology knowledgebases provide a way of organizing ...
-
(eLIFE, 2019-09-03)The microtubule binding protein EB1 specifically targets the growing ends of microtubules in cells, where EB1 facilitates the interactions of cellular proteins with microtubule plus-ends. Microtubule end targeting of EB1 ...
-
(EPIGENETICS INSIGHTS, 2019-07-18)WDR5 is a component of multiple epigenetic regulatory complexes, including the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL)/SET complexes that deposit histone H3 lysine 4 methylation. Inhibitors of an arginine-binding cavity in WDR5, known ...
-
(Cell Reports, 2019-07-23)The WNT signaling network is comprised of multiple receptors that relay various input signals via distinct transduction pathways to execute multiple complex and context-specific output processes. Integrity of the WNT ...
