Conformational stabilization as a strategy to prevent nucleophosmin mislocalization in leukemia
(Nature Research, 2017-10-24)
Nucleophosmin (NPM) is a nucleolar protein involved in ribosome assembly and cell homeostasis. Mutations in the C-terminal domain of NPM that impair native folding and localization are associated with acute myeloid leukemia ...
Shortcuts to adiabaticity in optical waveguides using fast quasiadiabatic dynamics
(Optica Publishing Group, 2017-01-03)
We propose a fast quasiadiabatic approach to the design of optical waveguide devices. This approach distributes the system adiabaticity homogeneously over the device length, thus providing a shortcut to adiabaticity at a ...
Human ATG3 binding to lipid bilayers: role of lipid geometry, and electric charge
(Nature Publishing, 2017-11-15)
Specific protein-lipid interactions lead to a gradual recruitment of AuTophaGy-related (ATG) proteins to the nascent membrane during autophagosome (AP) formation. ATG3, a key protein in the movement of LC3 towards the ...
Triacylglycerol mimetics regulate membrane interactions of glycogen branching enzyme: implications for therapy
(Elsevier, 2017-06-19)
Adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) is a neurological disorder characterized by adult-onset neurogenic bladder, spasticity, weakness, and sensory loss. The disease is caused by aberrant glycogen branching enzyme (GBE) ...
Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Tool for Local Governments to Evaluate the Global and Local Sustainability of Transportation Systems in Urban Areas: Case Study
(ASCE, 2017-10-24)
Efficient management of urban transportation systems is a challenge for any local government that wishes to improve public wellbeing and comfort. With that end in mind, this paper proposes a tool for decision making and ...
MTHFR Polymorphisms In Childhood Acute lymphoblastic Leukemia: Influence On Methotrexate Therapy
(Dove Medical Press LTD, 2017)
Methotrexate (MTX) is an important component in the therapy used to treat childhood
acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key
enzyme for MTX pharmacokinetics. Two single-nucleotide ...
Confirmation of involvement of new variants at CDKN2A/B in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility in the Spanish population
(Public Library Science, 2017-05-08)
The locus CDKN2A/B (9p21.3), which comprises the tumor suppressors genes CDKN2A and CDKN2B and the long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) known as ANRIL (or CDKN2B-AS), was associated with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) ...
Animal-assisted psychotherapy for young people with behavioural problems in residential care
(Wiley, 2017)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an animal-assisted psychotherapy (AAP) programme on clinical symptoms, personal adjustment and adaptive skills in a group of adolescents in residential care who had ...
Genetics of ancestry-specific risk for relapse in acute lymphoblastic leukemia
(Springer Nature, 2017-01-18)
The causes of individual relapses in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) remain incompletely understood. We evaluated the contribution of germline genetic factors to relapse in 2225 children treated on Children's ...
Association between birthweight and later body mass index: an individual-based pooled analysis of 27 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project
(Oxford University Press, 2017-10)
Background: There is evidence that birthweight is positively associated with body mass
index (BMI) in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors
or the intrauterine environment. We ...
