Transcriptome Profiling and Molecular Therapeutic Advances in Cystic Fibrosis: Recent InsightsGenes - Tập 10 Số 3 - Trang 180
Justin E. Ideozu, Xi Zhang, Susanna A. McColley, Hara Levy
In cystic fibrosis (CF), mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane
conductance regulator (CFTR) gene disrupt the capacity of the encoded protein to
function as a channel to transport chloride ions and water across cell
membranes. The consequences are deleterious, system-wide, and immensely
variable, even among patients with the same CFTR genotype. This underscores the
need to characterize the... hiện toàn bộ
Air Quality Effects on Human Health and Approaches for Its Assessment through Microfluidic ChipsGenes - Tập 8 Số 10 - Trang 244
Frank Schulze, Xinghua Gao, Darius Viržonis, Samar Damiati, Marlon R. Schneider, Rimantas Kodzius
Air quality depends on the various gases and particles present in it. Both
natural phenomena and human activities affect the cleanliness of air. In the
last decade, many countries experienced an unprecedented industrial growth,
resulting in changing air quality values, and correspondingly, affecting our
life quality. Air quality can be accessed by employing microchips that
qualitatively and quanti... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic Background and Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of K. pneumoniae NDM-1 Strains Isolated from UTI, ABU, and the GI Tract, from One Hospital in Poland, in Relation to Strains Nationally and WorldwideGenes - Tập 12 Số 8 - Trang 1285

In recent years, there has been an observed increase in infections caused by
carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia (Kp) strains. The aim of this study
was the phenotypic and genotypic analysis of eight K. pneumoniae NDM (Kp NDM)
isolates, recovered in Poland during the years 2016 and 2018 from seven patients
with urinary tract infections (UTIs), asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU), or
colonization ... hiện toàn bộ
Comparative Transcriptome Analysis of Gene Expression Patterns in Tomato Under Dynamic Light ConditionsGenes - Tập 10 Số 9 - Trang 662
Juanjuan Ding, Jiantao Zhao, Tonghua Pan, Linjie Xi, Jing Zhang, Zhirong Zou
Plants grown under highly variable natural light regimes differ strongly from
plants grown under constant light (CL) regimes. Plant phenotype and adaptation
responses are important for plant biomass and fitness. However, the underlying
regulatory mechanisms are still poorly understood, particularly from a
transcriptional perspective. To investigate the influence of different light
regimes on tomat... hiện toàn bộ
Genetics of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) Disease within the Frame of the Human Genome Project SuccessGenes - Tập 5 Số 1 - Trang 13-32
Vincent Timmerman, Alleene V. Strickland, Stephan Züchner
Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) neuropathies comprise a group of monogenic disorders
affecting the peripheral nervous system. CMT is characterized by a clinically
and genetically heterogeneous group of neuropathies, involving all types of
Mendelian inheritance patterns. Over 1,000 different mutations have been
discovered in 80 disease-associated genes. Genetic research of CMT has pioneered
the discovery... hiện toàn bộ
Regulation Mediated by N-Acyl Homoserine Lactone Quorum Sensing Signals in the Rhizobium-Legume SymbiosisGenes - Tập 9 Số 5 - Trang 263
Nieves Calatrava‐Morales, Matthew McIntosh, Marı́a J. Soto
Soil-dwelling bacteria collectively referred to as rhizobia synthesize and
perceive N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL) signals to regulate gene expression in
a population density-dependent manner. AHL-mediated signaling in these bacteria
regulates several functions which are important for the establishment of
nitrogen-fixing symbiosis with legume plants. Moreover, rhizobial AHL act as
interkingdom si... hiện toàn bộ
Quorum Sensing and Quorum Quenching in Agrobacterium: A “Go/No Go System”?Genes - Tập 9 Số 4 - Trang 210
Yves Dessaux, Denis Faure
The pathogen Agrobacterium induces gall formation on a wide range of
dicotyledonous plants. In this bacteria, most pathogenicity determinants are
borne on the tumour inducing (Ti) plasmid. The conjugative transfer of this
plasmid between agrobacteria is regulated by quorum sensing (QS). However,
processes involved in the disturbance of QS also occur in this bacteria under
the molecular form of a p... hiện toàn bộ
CpG and Non-CpG Methylation in Epigenetic Gene Regulation and Brain FunctionGenes - Tập 8 Số 6 - Trang 148
Hyun Gyung Jang, Woo Yong Shin, Jeong‐Bong Lee, Jeong Tae
DNA methylation is a major epigenetic mark with important roles in genetic
regulation. Methylated cytosines are found primarily at CpG dinucleotides, but
are also found at non-CpG sites (CpA, CpT, and CpC). The general functions of
CpG and non-CpG methylation include gene silencing or activation depending on
the methylated regions. CpG and non-CpG methylation are found throughout the
whole genome,... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of Epigenetics of PTSD in Comorbid Psychiatric ConditionsGenes - Tập 10 Số 2 - Trang 140
Caren J. Blacker, Mark A. Frye, Éva Morava, Tamás Kozicz, Erminio Costa
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an acquired psychiatric disorder with
functionally impairing physiological and psychological symptoms following a
traumatic exposure. Genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors act together
to determine both an individual’s susceptibility to PTSD and its clinical
phenotype. In this literature review, we briefly review the candidate genes that
have been ... hiện toàn bộ
Phenotypic and Genotypic Spectrum of Early-Onset Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies—Data from a Romanian CohortGenes - Tập 13 Số 7 - Trang 1253

impairments. Genetic DEEs have heterogeneous etiologies. This study includes 36
Romanian patients referred to the Regional Centre for Medical Genetics Dolj for
