Casaccia and colleagues characterise role of PRMT5 in regulation of developmental myelination @username @username
PRMT5 pharmacological inhibition, CRISPR/cas9 targeting, or genetic ablation decrease p53-dependent survival and impair differentiation without affecting proliferation.
Casaccia and colleagues characterise role of PRMT5 in regulation of developmental myelination @username @username
PRMT5 pharmacological inhibition, CRISPR/cas9 targeting, or genetic ablation decrease p53-dependent survival and impair differentiation without affecting proliferation. Conditional ablation of Prmt5 in progenitors results in hypomyelination, reduced survival and differentiation. Decreased histone H4R3 symmetric methyla...

New paper in @username explores the contribution of 6 socioeconomic drivers (population, economic growth, diets, ag productivity, land-use regulation, and trade) in future land-use projections. Check it out at: @username @username
Yield increase is therefore shown to be more effective in reducing land use when combined with land-use regulation and consumption changes.
New paper in @username explores the contribution of 6 socioeconomic drivers (population, economic growth, diets, ag productivity, land-use regulation, and trade) in future land-use projections. Check it out at: @username @username
Furthermore, this study adds an analysis of interactions between factors: an increase in agricultural efficiency can reduce demand for cropland but can also trigger higher demand. Yield increase is therefore shown to be more effective in reducing land use when combined with land-use regulation and consumption changes. ...

With new mouse models and tissue expansion to allow nanoscale imaging, we demonstrate that striatonigral fibers originating in striosomes form bouquet-like arborizations innervating clusters of dopamine-containing neurons and their ventrally extending, tightly bundled dendrites.

Roundworm study documents paternal transmission of epigenetic memory via sperm About 10 percent of histone packaging is retained in both human and mouse sperm. #epigenetics #hereditary #biology #genetics @username @username
The finding that abnormal retention of an epigenetic memory of spermatogenesis compromises germline health 36 suggests that sperm epigenetic marking must be reset each generation.

See! I told you they were important. And congratulations to Steve Blacklow for igniting the tetraspanin field.
Our molecular dynamics simulations suggest that CD81 may exist in both closed and open conformations and that the equilibrium between closed and open conformations may be shifted toward the closed state when cholesterol is bound.
See! I told you they were important. And congratulations to Steve Blacklow for igniting the tetraspanin field.
Our results reveal that CD81 binds cholesterol and that E219 is an important residue in the binding pocket, offering a potential mechanism for how tetraspanins might detect cholesterol or other membrane lipids (whereas CD81 and tspan10 both possess a polar residue in this position, most other tetraspanins have a polar ...

Findings from this study indicated that school-age children were almost twice as sensitive to the melatonin suppression effects of evening moderate bright light exposure (~580 lux) than their parents .
#Sleep #LightAtNight Sensitivity of the circadian system to evening bright light in preschool‐age children.
Findings from this study mark an important step in addressing a gap in understanding the melatonin suppression response across the lifespan. Findings from this study indicated that school-age children were almost twice as sensitive to the melatonin suppression effects of evening moderate bright light exposure (~580 lux...

Factor XIIIA-Expressing Inflammatory Monocytes Promote Lung Squamous Cancer through Fibrin Cross-Linking @username @username @username
Notably, we show that IMs highly express Factor XIIIA, which promotes fibrin cross-linking to create a scaffold for LUSC cell invasion and metastases.
Factor XIIIA-Expressing Inflammatory Monocytes Promote Lung Squamous Cancer through Fibrin Cross-Linking @username @username @username
Pharmacologic inhibition of IM recruitment had substantial anti-metastatic effects. Notably, we show that IMs highly express Factor XIIIA, which promotes fibrin cross-linking to create a scaffold for LUSC cell invasion and metastases. Consistently, human LUSC samples containing extensive crosslinked fibrin in the micro...

#Study: #Walnut Consumption (2 Ounces/Day) May Afford #Breast #Cancer Protection via Altered #Gene Expression More: Attn: @username @username @username #food #health #nutrition #prevention
RNA sequencing expression profiling revealed that expression of 456 identified genes was significantly changed in the tumor due to walnut consumption.
#Study: #Walnut Consumption (2 Ounces/Day) May Afford #Breast #Cancer Protection via Altered #Gene Expression More: Attn: @username @username @username #food #health #nutrition #prevention
Pathological studies confirmed that lumps were breast cancer in all women who remained in the trial. RNA sequencing expression profiling revealed that expression of 456 identified genes was significantly changed in the tumor due to walnut consumption. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis showed activation of pathways that promot...
