Study links gene to inherited form of autism
Inherited mutations in a gene called ACTL6B lead to autism, epilepsy and intellectual disability, according to a new study1.
The mutations are recessive, which means that they lead to autism only if a person inherits them in both copies of the gene — one from each parent, who are silent carriers. Most other mutations implicated in autism are spontaneous, or ‘de novo,’ mutations, which are not inherited.
The study suggests that recessive mutations in ... Read More

Understanding the microenvironment within skin cancers is key for the development of new preventative and therapeutic treatment options. Research advances in skin cancers such as melanoma have revolutionized immunotherapeutic treatment options, for example through the provision of checkpoint inhibitor trials that have benefitted not just melanoma patients, but also patients with a wide array of other cancers, including less readily accessible cancer types. However, checkpoint inhibitor success is limited in melanoma and... 
Skin Inflammatory Disorders T cell
The skin is comprised of structural, innate and adaptive immune cells. Defects in any of the three arms disrupts skin homeostasis leading to impaired host defence responses and/or skin inflammatory disorders. Skin inflammatory disorders are a group of heterogenous diseases comprised of immunodeficiencies and autoimmune disorders (Psoriasis, Vitiligo, Alopecia areata, Scleroderma) and immune hyperreactivity (atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, prurigo nodularis). For many of these diseases, it is well accepted that dys... 
Psychopathology Research
Psychopathology needs to be viewed as a set of theoretical constructs which can be altered over time and they thus require periodic calibration. Furthermore, the way in which we describe the mental symptoms must be adapted to the scientific needs of the age in which we live related, for instance, with the detail of the data obtained by the auxiliary means of diagnosis and which are different from those observed in the 19th century.
Jaspers had already said with regard to the evolution of psychopathology: «general psych...

Fungal Pathogens
Surface components in fungal cells include cell wall molecules and, in certain cases, capsular structures. In pathogens, these components are responsible for key events during interaction with the host. These events include recognition of pathogens by the immune system and generation of damage to host cells and tissues. The molecular nature of surface structures in fungi is vast and may include (glyco)proteins, polysaccharides, lipids and pigments. Many of them have been strictly associated with the antifungal immune response, as well as with step... 
Trichoderma species Cellulases Produced by Solid State Fermentation
The main aim of this study was to analyze eight species of Trichoderma for cellulase enzyme production by solid state fermentation. Different carbon sources such as wheat bran, corn cob, sucrose, maltose and filter paper were used. Highest celluase enzyme production was achieved with T. harzianum on media supplemented with corn cob. The optimum pH, temperature and thermal stability of isolated enzymes were also analyzed. The best pH for enzyme production was found between 4-6. The...

Quick Reliable Exploration of the PDB Universe Seeks a New Template
Near-native protein structure prediction through Template Based Modelling (TBM) has been a major realistic goal of structural biology for several years. The TBM algorithms require the best-set of templates for a target protein sequence to maximally cover it and construct its correct topology. However, the accuracy of such prediction algorithms suffers from the algorithmic and logical problems of our template search measures which fail to quickly screen reliable structures for a target sequence. In... 
In the field of molecular biology, gene expression profiling is the measurement of the activity (the expression) of thousands of genes at once, to create a global picture of cellular function. These profiles can, for example, distinguish between cells that are actively dividing, or show how the cells react to a particular treatment. Many experiments of this sort measure an entire genome simultaneously, that is, every gene present in a particular cell.
Several transcriptomics technologies can be used to generate the necessary data to analyse. DNA microarrays measure the relative ac...

Tauopathies are characterized by the aberrant modification, splicing, and aggregation of the microtubule-associated protein Tau into filamentous inclusions in neurons and glia. Tau pathology is present across a wide spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease, fronto-temporal dementias, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases, among others. Given the combined prevalence of these diseases and the importance of T... 
Chronic Kidney Disease
The prevalence of both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and metabolic bone diseases increases with age. Given the aging of the population as a prevailing demographic trend in the Western world, these medical conditions represent a significant challenge.
Moreover, CKD in its advanced stages (from CKD grade 3) is associated with changes of calcium-phosphate metabolism, which, together with the lack of active di-hydroxylated vitamin D, constitute mineral and bone disease that is connected with CKD (CKD-MBD). The bone component of CKD-MBD (re... 
Brain Pathology
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) channels compromise a superfamily of polymodal receptors that are critically involved in the detection of diverse stimuli such as temperature or pH changes, noxious chemicals or mechanical forces. This ability to sense environmental changes is essential for survival, and thus the disruption of TRP channel function can have a severe impact on human health, as evidenced by the increasing number of hereditary and acquired diseases linked to TRP channels. Many members of the TRP channel superfamily are expressed i...

Current Synthetic and Systems Biology research objective is to encourage and assist the development of better and faster measures of systems-biology. In cases where we believe we can contribute directly, as opposed to through highlighting the work of others, we are producing our own measures of research activity. Our work is mainly of interest to investors, organizations and individuals in the financial sector and to significant corporations with global operations, as well as governments and academic researchers.
Current Synthetic and Systems Biology play a key role in the knowled...

The scientists discovered close to 200,000 DNA markers in Asians, which had been previously unreported in existing genetic databases. The catalogues that are now used for disease-association studies in Asia, including India, are those that have primarily been generated in western populations, hence of limited use in Asia.” The scientists also found 23 per cent of previously unreported protein variants. “Since alterations of proteins are usually associated with disease, we specifically investigated those ... 
The mammalian circadian clock includes a “master clock” within the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of hypothalamus and “peripheral clocks” within other tissues of the body. The “master clock” functions as an “orchestra conductor” to direct “peripheral clocks” through yet-to-be defined pathways, allowing animals to adapt their feeding, activity, and metabolism to predictable daily changes in the environment.
Circadian clocks orchestrate physiological rhythms via the temporal regulation of gene expression to control core cloc...
