Article Abstract
Background: In seeds, the transition from dormancy to germination is regulated by abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellins (GAs), and involves chromatin remodelling. Particularly, the repressive mark H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) has been shown to target many master regulators of this transition. DAG1 (DOF AFFECTING GERMINATION1), is a negative regulator of seed germination in Arabidopsis, and directly represses the GA biosynthetic gene GA3ox1 (gibberellin 3-β-dioxygenase 1). We set to investigate the role of DAG1 in seed dormancy and maturation with respect to epigenetic and hormonal control.
Results: We show that DAG1 expression is controlled at the epigenetic level through the H3K27me3 mark during the seed-to-seedling transition, and that DAG1 directly represses also the ABA catabolic gene CYP707A2; consistently, the ABA level is lower while the GA level is higher in dag1 mutant seeds. Furthermore, both DAG1 expression and protein stability are controlled by GAs.
Conclusions: Our results point to DAG1 as a key player in the control of the developmental switch between seed dormancy and germination.

Cellular interactions and Ion channel signatures in atrial fibrillation remodeling: insights from single-cell analysis and machine learning.

Background: Atrial structural and electrical remodeling are the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying atrial fibrillation (AF). Although previous studies have offered insights into these changes, the cellular interactions involved in atrial structural remodeling and the ion channel marker genes associated with electrical remodeling in AF remain insufficiently elucidated.
Methods: We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to investigate the structural remodeling in AF at the cellular level.

Synapse formation is a fundamental process that shapes the connectivity and function of the nervous system, but the mechanisms regulating synaptogenesis are incompletely understood. Moreover, the interplay of these mechanisms at distinct synapse types remains to be defined. Using a scalable optical pooled screening platform, we investigated the process of synapse induction to uncover modulators of a prototypical synapse-organizing adhesion molecule, neuroligin-1.

Objective: This study compared the proteomic differences between non-elderly diminished ovarian reserve (DOR, < 35 years) and normal ovarian reserve (NOR) to better understand the molecular mechanisms behind ovarian reserve changes in Poseidon Group III.
Methods: Ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) from infertile women with DOR in Poseidon Group III and women with NOR were analyzed using 4D label-free quantitative proteomics. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in order to gain a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying DOR.

Introduction: Dystroglycan (DG) is an adhesion complex comprising two subunits, α-DG and β-DG, which interact non-covalently at the plasma membrane. As a component of the dystrophin-glycoprotein complex DGC, DG plays a crucial role in linking the cytoskeleton to the surrounding basement membranes. Rare primary point mutations in the gene have been identified in patients with various forms of neuromuscular dystrophy, ranging in phenotype from mild to severe.

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a progressive X-linked disorder causing muscle degeneration and multisystem involvement, requiring precise genetic diagnosis for timely intervention and treatment.
Objective: To investigate the genetic landscape of DMD using a two-tiered diagnostic approach combining MLPA and WES, and to correlate genetic findings with clinical outcomes for improved management.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study of 80 male DMD patients was conducted using a sequential genetic approach, combining MLPA and WES, with bioinformatics and statistical analyses to explore genotype-phenotype correlations.
