Insights into role of microRNAs in cardiac development, cardiac diseases, and developing novel therapies
Objective(s): MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a subfamily of small noncoding RNAs that play a variety of roles in regulating gene expression in nearly all organisms. They affect different biological pathways by post-transcriptionally regulating mRNAs. Aside from miRNAs’ role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, their perturbation is related to several pathologic states and dis...
متن کاملproficiency level and factors fostering reticence in efl learners
according to cheng (1999), in recent esl/efl literature, asian (especially east asian) learners of english as a foreign/second language have been arguably reported as reticent and passive learners. the most common allegations are that these students are reluctant to participate in classroom discourse; they are unwilling to give responses; they do not ask questions; and they are passive and over...
15 صفحه اولS06-01 Cardiac transcription factors in development and disease
The homeodomain factor Nkx2-5 is expressed in cardiac progenitor cells of the first and second heart fields, and in differentiating cardiomyocytes and conduction cells. NKX2-5 mutations cause congenital heart disease (CHD) and conduction disease (CD) in humans. Nkx2-5 acts as both a repressor and an activator, and one of its early roles is to repress, through a negative feedback loop, the expre...
متن کاملEpigenetic biomarker development.
Epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression in a way that is stably propagated over multiple cell divisions, but which is also flexible enough to respond to environmental influences. This intermediate position between stability and plasticity renders epigenetic information highly useful for monitoring cellular states in the context of personalized medicine. Epigenetic alterations have also be...
متن کاملEpigenetic Risk Factors in PTSD and Depression
Epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that children exposed to adverse experiences are at increased risk for the development of depression, anxiety disorders, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A history of child abuse and maltreatment increases the likelihood of being subsequently exposed to traumatic events or of developing PTSD as an adult. The brain is highly plastic during...
