Mineral Stress Drives Loss of Heterochromatin: An Early Harbinger of Vascular Inflammaging and Calcification.
Circ Res

British Heart Foundation Centre for Research Excellence, School of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine and Sciences, James Black Centre, King's College London, United Kingdom (C.Y.H., M.-Y.W., J.T., S.A., L.D., G.A., R.H., C.M.S.).
Background: Vascular calcification is a detrimental aging pathology markedly accelerated in patients with chronic kidney disease. Prelamin A is a biomarker of vascular smooth muscle cell aging that accelerates calcification however the mechanisms remain undefined.
Methods: Vascular smooth muscle cells were transduced with prelamin A using an adenoviral vector and epigenetic modifications were monitored using immunofluorescence and targeted polymerase chain reaction array.
A Modified Method for DNA Extraction From Buccal Cells for Genetic Epidemiological Studies Among Children.

Background: In large-scale molecular studies, a protocol that generates high yields and quality DNA for future polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays is needed. The collection of buccal cells by cytobrush may represent an efficient, noninvasive, and inexpensive method for obtaining genetic material from school populations. The aim of this study was to develop a method to obtain genomic DNA from buccal cells of schoolchildren, and the DNA was extracted immediately after collecting the buccal cell samples and after storing the samples for 8 months at -20 °C to establish the feasibility of the method for epidemiological studies.

REV7, also known as MAD2B, MAD2L2, and FANCV, is a HORMA-domain family protein crucial to multiple genome stability pathways. REV7's canonical role is as a member of polymerase ζ, a specialized translesion synthesis polymerase essential for DNA damage tolerance. REV7 also ensures accurate cell cycle progression and prevents premature mitotic progression by sequestering an anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome activator.

Background: Food safety is a significant global study subject that is strongly intertwined with human life and well-being. The utilization of DNA-based methods for species identification is a valuable instrument in the field of food inspection and regulation. It is particularly significant for traceability purposes, as it enables the monitoring of a specific item at every level of the food chain regulation.
