Generation of an enhancer-driven gene expression viral tool specific to dentate granule cell-types through direct hippocampal injection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Accurate investigations of neural circuitry require specific genetic access to individual circuit elements, i.e., the myriad neuronal cell-types in the brain. However, native promoters cannot achieve this because while ... -
Brain asymmetries from mid- to late life and hemispheric brain age
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)The human brain demonstrates structural and functional asymmetries which have implications for ageing and mental and neurological disease development. We used a set of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) metrics derived from ... -
Naa80 is required for actin N-terminal acetylation and normal hearing in zebrafish
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Actin is a critical component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton. In animals, actins undergo unique N-terminal processing by dedicated enzymes resulting in mature acidic and acetylated forms. The final step, N-terminal ... -
Luminal epithelial cells integrate variable responses to aging into stereotypical changes that underlie breast cancer susceptibility
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Effects from aging in single cells are heterogenous, whereas at the organ- and tissue-levels aging phenotypes tend to appear as stereotypical changes. The mammary epithelium is a bilayer of two major phenotypically and ... -
Large-scale analysis of structural brain asymmetries during neurodevelopment: Associations with age and sex in 4265 children and adolescents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Only a small number of studies have assessed structural differences between the two hemispheres during childhood and adolescence. However, the existing findings lack consistency or are restricted to a particular brain ... -
Dynamics of affect modulation in neurodevelopmental disorders (DynAMoND) – study design of a prospective cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuro-developmental disorder that often persists into adulthood. Moreover, it is frequently accompanied by bipolar disorder (BD) as well as borderline ... -
Significance of utilizing in silico structural analysis and phenotypic data to characterize phenylalanine hydroxylase variants: A PAH landscape
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder caused by variations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. Among the 3369 reported PAH variants, 33.7% are missense alterations. Unfortunately, 30% of these missense ... -
Comparing in vitro cytotoxic drug sensitivity in colon and pancreatic cancer using 2D and 3D cell models: Contrasting viability and growth inhibition in clinically relevant dose and repeated drug cycles
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background In vitro drug screening that is more translatable to the in vivo tumor environment can reduce both time and cost of cancer drug development. Here we address some of the shortcomings in screening and show how ... -
Assessing N-terminal acetylation status of cellular proteins via an antibody specific for acetylated methionine
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)N-terminal acetylation is being recognized as a factor affecting protein lifetime and proteostasis. It is a modification where an acetyl group is added to the N-terminus of proteins, and this occurs in 80 % of the human ... -
In vivo turnover and biodistribution of soluble AXL: implications for biomarker development
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Soluble biomarkers are paramount to personalized medicine. However, the in vivo turnover and biodistribution of soluble proteins is seldom characterized. The cleaved extracellular domain of the AXL receptor (sAXL) is a ... -
Review of metastasis to meningiomas with case examples
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Introduction A tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) is a rare metastatic process where a primary malignant tumor metastasizes to another tumor, most commonly a benign tumor such as a meningioma. Here, we present two recent ... -
Molecular landscape of the overlap between Alzheimer’s disease and somatic insulin-related diseases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental factors contributing to its etiology. Previous evidence has implicated disturbed insulin signaling as a key mechanism that plays a ... -
Dynamic changes in immune cell populations by AXL kinase targeting diminish liver inflammation and fibrosis in experimental MASH
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background and aims: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a significant health concern with limited treatment options. AXL, a receptor tyrosine kinase activated by the GAS6 ligand, promotes MASH through ... -
Molecular mechanism of HNF-1A–mediated HNF4A gene regulation and promoter-driven HNF4A-MODY diabetes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Monogenic diabetes is a gateway to precision medicine through molecular mechanistic insight. Hepatocyte nuclear factor 1A (HNF-1A) and HNF-4A are transcription factors that engage in crossregulatory gene transcription ... -
Disturbance in cerebral blood microcirculation and hypoxic-ischemic microenvironment are associated with the development of brain metastasis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Brain metastases (BM) constitute an increasing challenge in oncology due to their impact on neurological function, limited treatment options, and poor prognosis. BM occurs through extravasation of circulating ... -
Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants upregulate VMAT2 activity and rescue disease-causing VMAT2 variants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Vesicular monoamine transporter 2 (VMAT2) is an essential transporter that regulates brain monoamine transmission and is important for mood, cognition, motor activity, and stress regulation. However, VMAT2 remains underexplored ... -
Emerging insights in senescence: pathways from preclinical models to therapeutic innovations
