BMP8B Increases Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis through Both Central and Peripheral Actions
Summary Thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is fundamental to energy balance and is also relevant for humans. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) regulate adipogenesis, and, here, we describe a role for BMP8B in the direct regulation of...

In silico profiling of miRNAs and their target polymorphisms in leukemia associated genes
Abstract Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) within microRNA (miRNA) encoding regions of the genome are a large potential source for biologically relevant variation. SNPs along with miRNA act as a powerful tool to study the biology of a disease...

Natural products for cancer prevention associated with Nrf2–ARE pathway
Abstract Cancer chemoprevention involves the application of natural or synthetic compounds to reduce the risk of cancer development. One of the most effective strategies for preventing human cancers might involve inducing phase II detoxifying...

EGFR targeted nanobody–photosensitizer conjugates for photodynamic therapy in a pre-clinical model of head and neck cancer
Abstract Photodynamic therapy (PDT) induces cell death through local light activation of a photosensitizer (PS) and has been used to treat head and neck cancers. Yet, common PS lack tumor specificity, which leads to collateral damage to normal...

Segment-specific generation of Drosophila Capability neuropeptide neurons by multi-faceted Hox cues
Abstract In the Drosophila ventral nerve cord, the three pairs of Capability neuropeptide-expressing Va neurons are exclusively found in the second, third and fourth abdominal segments (A2–A4). To address the underlying mechanisms behind such...

Pulmonary gene and microRNA expression changes in mice exposed to benzo(a)pyrene by oral gavage
Abstract Exposure to the environmental mutagen benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) alters the expression of AHR-responsive genes as well as genes involved in other pathways. We recently reported that exposure of adult mice to BaP resulted in a robust transcriptome ...

Phages of Staphylococcus aureus and their impact on host evolution
Abstract Most of the dissimilarity between Staphylococcus aureus strains is due to the presence of mobile genetic elements such as bacteriophages or pathogenicity islands. These elements provide the bacteria with additional genes that enable them to ...

Cytomegalovirus-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells follow a similar reconstitution pattern after allogeneic stem cell transplantation
Abstract Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common herpes virus that can cause significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised individuals, particularly those undergoing allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) for hematological malignancies....

Association between Calcineurin Inhibitor Blood Concentrations and Outcomes after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
To determine whether calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) blood concentrations within the first month after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) correlated with the incidence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and other outcomes, we retrospectively analyzed ...
