Preliminary Evidence of a Horizontal Transfer of Paramutation Phenomenon at the <i>pl1</i> Gene in Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) by Roberto Pilu, Martina Ghidoli, Alessia Follador, Alessandro Passera, Paola Casati, Ervane Laure Cheyep Dinzeu, Elena Cassani, Michela Landoni

“…Paramutation, a specific epigenetic phenomenon first identified in <i>Zea mays</i> by Alexander Brink in the 1950s, has since been observed in different plant and animal species. What sets paramutation apart from other gene silencing processes is its ability for one silenced allele (referred to as paramutagenic) to silence another allele (paramutable) in trans. …”

The Role of Yersinia enterocolitica O:3 Lipopolysaccharide in Collagen-Induced Arthritis by Katarzyna Kasperkiewicz, Anna S. Świerzko, Marta Przybyła, Janusz Szemraj, Jarosław Barski, Mikael Skurnik, Andrzej Kałużyński, Maciej Cedzyński

“…However, in contrast to the latter, Yersinia Rd1 LPS was associated neither with the adjuvancity nor with the enhancement of pathological changes in animal paws/impairment of motility. On the other hand, it seemed to be more hepatotoxic when compared with the other tested endotoxins, while the enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes and drop in hepatic MBL-C expression (at the mRNA level) were independent of LPS chemotype. …”
