Investigators at the University of Edinburgh have identified a genomic location linked to sensitivity to gabapentin in individuals with idiopathic chronic pelvic pain.
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1605 (LINC01605) in the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Researchers from University of Tsukuba published data from a study designed to identify novel biomarkers for predicting treatment responses to nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy.
Fermitin family homolog 1 (FERMT1), a member of the kindlin family of focal adhesion proteins, plays a pivotal role in mediating integrin-dependent cell adhesion and signaling. Scientists at Fujian Medical University (FJMU) assessed the functional significance of FERMT1 in glioma progression and stemness.
Researchers from Chongqing Medical University and affiliated organizations reported findings from studies they performed to assess the role of zinc-finger protein 334 (ZNF334) in cervical cancer.
Muscle fatigue associated with brain inflammation could be prevented by modulating certain cytokines. Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) have studied inflammation in the CNS in infection models of Escherichia coli, SARS-CoV-2 and amyloid-β toxicity, unveiling its impact on motor function, the role of IL-6 in this process and how to mitigate it in chronic disease.
Transposable elements (TEs) are DNA sequences involved in the epigenetic regulation of tumors. KDM1A is an epigenetic regulator overexpressed in liver cancer that suppresses the methylation of histone H3 Lys4 (H3K4) in liver-TEs and as a result, HNF4A expression is silenced and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth is promoted.
Adherens junction-associated protein 1 (AJAP1) is a transmembrane protein that inhibits tumor cell migration and is a susceptibility gene for migraine. Recent hypotheses have pointed toward the potential involvement of AJAP1 in epilepsy and other neurological disorders.
Researchers from the University of Miami and Harvard Medical School have published data from a study that assessed the role of recessive variants in the HBS1L gene, which encodes for HBS1-like translational GTPase crucial for ribosomal rescue, in inherited retinal disease.
A team at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted research to evaluate the expression levels of the extracellular matrix protein tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen-like 1 (TINAGL1) in the human ovary.
