According to the World Health Organization, neuropsychiatric diseases account for approximately one third of years lost to disability. Yet, despite this huge disease burden, there is a lack of new treatments under development: approved treatments all essentially target the same target(s), if the target itself is known. There is now considerable evidence for a common set of heritable risk for ps...

Integrins are adhesion receptors involved in bidirectional signaling that are crucial for various cellular responses during normal homeostasis and pathologic conditions such as cancer progression and metastasis. Aberrant expression of noncoding microRNAs (miRNA) has been implicated in the deregulation of integrin expression and activity, leading to the development and progression of cancer tumo...

The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae shows rapid fermentation of sugars to ethanol and carbon dioxide. It is widely known that glucose and other sugars exert a repressive effect on the synthesis of a variety of enzymes. On the other hand, glucose may also exert enhancement of enzyme synthesis. The former are mitochondrial enzymes or enzymes linked to cellular respiration and the second are enzyme...

The interplay between different levels of gene regulation in modulating developmental transcriptional programs, such as histonemodifications and chromatin remodeling, is not well understood. Here, we show that the chromatin remodeling factor Brg1 is required for enhancer activation in mesoderm induction. In an embryonic stem cell-based directed differentiation assay, the absence of Brg1 results...
