Identification of 15 new psoriasis susceptibility loci highlights the role of innate immunity
- L. Tsoi, S. Spain, +197 authors R. Trembath
- Biology
- 2012
To gain further insight into the genetic architecture of psoriasis, we conducted a meta-analysis of 3 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and 2 independent data sets genotyped on the Immunochip,… Expand

OBJECTIVES
The oxazolidinone-resistant Enterococcus faecalis E349 from a human patient tested negative for the cfr gene and 23S rRNA mutations. Here we report the identification of a novel… Expand
Functional restoration of HCV-specific CD8 T cells by PD-1 blockade is defined by PD-1 expression and compartmentalization.

BACKGROUND & AIMS
The immunoinhibitory receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) is up-regulated on dysfunctional virus-specific CD8 T cells during chronic viral infections, and blockade of PD-1/PD-ligand… Expand

Chromatin remodeling complexes are known to modify chemical marks on histones or to induce conformational changes in the chromatin in order to regulate transcription. De novo dominant mutations in… Expand
Deacetylase-independent function of HDAC3 in transcription and metabolism requires nuclear receptor corepressor.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are believed to regulate gene transcription by catalyzing deacetylation reactions. HDAC3 depletion in mouse liver upregulates lipogenic genes and results in severe… Expand
Emergence of plasmid-mediated high-level tigecycline resistance genes in animals and humans
Tigecycline is a last-resort antibiotic that is used to treat severe infections caused by extensively drug-resistant bacteria. tet(X) has been shown to encode a flavin-dependent monooxygenase that… Expand
DCGL v2.0: An R Package for Unveiling Differential Regulation from Differential Co-expression
Motivation Differential co-expression analysis (DCEA) has emerged in recent years as a novel, systematic investigation into gene expression data. While most DCEA studies or tools focus on the… Expand
Hypoxia-inducible factor 3 is an oxygen-dependent transcription activator and regulates a distinct transcriptional response to hypoxia.
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play key roles in the cellular response to hypoxia. It is widely accepted that whereas HIF-1 and HIF-2 function as transcriptional activators, HIF-3 inhibits HIF-1/2α… Expand
Prenatal PFOS exposure induces oxidative stress and apoptosis in the lung of rat off-spring.
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) could induce neonatal pulmonary injuries in rodents. The aim of this study was to investigate the underlying mode of action. Pregnant rats were dosed orally with PFOS… Expand
