Pituitary adenoma: important genetic factors and clinical diagnostic issues by G. Juknytė, E. Karinauskė, R. Liutkevičienė

“…Since the development of pituitary adenomas can be significantly influenced by epigenetic changes in pituitary cells, there is currently an increasing focus on the study of epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications, and micro-RNA studies. Analysis of mRNA expression is also performed to assess the decrease or increase in gene expression in the case of pathology. …”

A conserved class of viral RNA structures regulates translation reinitiation through dynamic ribosome interactions by Madeline E. Sherlock, Conner J. Langeberg, Katherine E. Segar, Jeffrey S. Kieft

“…We determined the structure of a representative viral RNA-ribosome complex using cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM). 3D classification and variability analyses reveal that the viral RNA structure can sample a range of conformations while remaining tethered to the ribosome, enabling the ribosome to find a reinitiation start site within a limited range of mRNA sequence. Evaluating the conserved features and constraints of this entire RNA class within the context of the cryo-EM reconstruction provides insight into mechanisms enabling reinitiation, a translation regulation strategy employed by many other viral and eukaryotic systems.…”

Theoretical investigation on models of circadian rhythms based on dimerization and proteolysis of PER and TIM by Jifa Jiang, Qiang Liu, Lei Niu

“…By imposing assumptions that the dimerization reactions were fast and dimeric proteins were in rapid equilibrium, they reduced the model to a pair of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of mRNA and total protein concentrations. Then they used phase plane analysis tools to investigate circadian rhythms. …”
