Although chemotherapy-induced bone loss is well-recognized during breast cancer treatment, the underlying mechanism remains to be further elucidated, especially in patients with obesity. In this study, the objective was to…
REACTOR: REgulon Activity analysis and Comparison Tool for single-cell transcriptOmics Research
SUMMARY: We introduce REACTOR, a computational tool designed to detect differential activity of transcriptional regulators and their target genes (regulons) in single-cell RNA-sequencing data. It expands the currently available framework…
Fibrillar adhesion dynamics govern the timescales of nuclear mechano-response via the vimentin cytoskeleton
The cell nucleus is continuously exposed to external signals, of both chemical and mechanical nature. To ensure proper cellular response, cells need to regulate the transmission, timing and duration of…
The role of human milk oligosaccharides in shaping and restoring infant gut microbiota: Population-based cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: HMOs exhibit age-dependent and structure-specific associations with infant gut microbiota, extending beyond breastfeeding.
Pre- and postnatal maternal psychological distress and the metabolomic profile of human milk
CONCLUSIONS: Both prenatal and postnatal maternal distress is associated with human milk metabolites. Human milk may buffer infants from some effects of maternal psychological distress, as increases in key metabolites…
Functional Interplay between Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) and Heat Shock Factors (HSFs)
Maintenance of protein homeostasis, also known as proteostasis, is essential for cellular survival under both basal and stress conditions. Proteostasis relies on a coordinated action between molecular chaperones, such as…
Turku Protein Core Opens Two New Positions
Turku Protein Core (TuProtCore) is seeking to fill two roles: a Project Specialist in Service Outreach and a Laboratory Engineer, both based in Turku, Finland. The Project Specialist will…
Testosterone Exposure During Fetal Masculinization Programming Window Determines the Kidney Size in Adult Mice
Kidney size is sex-dimorphic and regulated by androgens in adult humans and mice. However, the effects of developmental androgen deficiency on kidneys remain elusive. We hypothesized that androgens program future…
Genomic history of early dogs in Europe
The earliest morphologically identifiable dogs are from Europe and date to at least 14,000 years ago^(1-5), although early remains are also found in other regions. The origin of early dogs…
