Published: September 2014

Chromatin structure and spatial interactions between proximal and distal gene regulatory elements, including gene core promoters and enhancers, are important in the control of gene transcription. In this issue, Oh et al. characterized an AP-1-dependent enhancer at the epidermal differentiation complex locus that establishes spatial interactions with numerous gene promoter regions at that locus.

Mediator, a transcriptional coactivator, regulates plant growth and development by interacting with various transcriptional regulators. MEDIATOR15 (MED15) is a subunit in the Mediator complex potentially involved in developmental control. To uncover molecular functions of Arabidopsis MED15 in development, we searched for its interactors.

Cellular forces regulate an untold spectrum of living processes, such as cell migration, gene expression, and ion conduction. However, a quantitative description of mechanical control remains elusive due to the lack of general, live-cell tools to measure discrete forces between biomolecules. Here we introduce a computational pipeline for force measurement that leverages well-defined, tunable release of a mechanically activated small molecule fluorophore.

Background/purpose: Daily flushing of dental unit waterlines is important for infection control. However, the effect of flushing on water quality management in portable dental units (PDUs) for mobile dental treatments remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the factors affecting the effectiveness of PDU flushing.

Department of Veterinary Pre-Clinical Science, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia.

Objective: Concerns over the increasing number of obese individuals and the associated health risks have prompted therapeutic option explorations. Similarly, this study aimed to establish fruit extract (SCFE) anti-adipogenic attributes in 3T3-L1 cells.

Methods: The polyphenolic compounds in SCFE were identified with Reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).

EGFR and ALK are key driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tyrosine kinase inhibitors are recommended as the first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC with driving oncogenes because they have fewer side effects and provide better disease control than chemotherapy. The present retrospective analysis aimed to investigate how altered driver genes impact cancer outcomes and clinical presentation.
