Transcriptional regulation of PRPF31 gene expression by MSR1 repeat elements causes incomplete penetrance in retinitis pigmentosa
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
PRPF31-associated retinitis pigmentosa presents a fascinating enigma: some mutation carriers are blind, while others are asymptomatic. We identify the major molecular cause of this incomplete penetrance through three ...

PAX4 preserves endoplasmic reticulum integrity preventing beta cell degeneration in a mouse model of type 1 diabetes mellitus
(Springer Nature, 2016)
[Aims/hypothesis]: A strategy to enhance pancreatic islet functional beta cell mass (BCM) while restraining inflammation, through the manipulation of molecular and cellular targets, would provide a means to counteract the ...

Potential use of adipose tissue stem cells in the control of aging
(Federation of Anti-Aging Medicine Societies, 2012)
Cell therapy with adult stem cells is a new battle front for the control of aging. Before being used for this purpose, we need to answer several basic questions about the biochemistry and physiology of these cells. This ...

The cannabinoid ligand LH-21 reduces anxiety and improves glucose handling in diet-induced obese pre-diabetic mice
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
LH-21 is a triazol derivative that has been described as a low-permeant neutral CB1 antagonist, though its pharmacology is still unclear. It has been associated with anti-obesity actions in obese rats. However, its role ...

Dna-rna hybrids at dsbs interfere with repair by homologous recombination
(eLife Sciences Publications, 2021)
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are the most harmful DNA lesions and their repair is crucial for cell viability and genome integrity. The readout of DSB repair may depend on whether DSBs occur at transcribed versus ...
Article
EGF-induced adipose tissue mesothelial cells undergo functional vascular smooth muscle differentiation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
Recent studies suggested that the post-natal mesothelium retain differentiative potential of the embryonic mesothelium, which generates fibroblasts and vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), in developing coelomic organs ...

Analysis of repair of replication-born double-strand breaks by sister chromatid recombination in yeast
(Elsevier, 2021)
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks is crucial for cell viability and the maintenance of genome integrity. When present, the intact sister chromatid is used as the preferred repair template to restore the genetic ...

The replication checkpoint protects fork stability by releasing transcribed genes from nuclear pores
(Elsevier, 2011)
Transcription hinders replication fork progression and stability, and the Mec1/ATR checkpoint protects fork integrity. Examining checkpoint-dependent mechanisms controlling fork stability, we find that fork reversal and ...
