RIG-I-LIKE RECEPTOR SIGNALING IN SINGLETON-MERTEN SYNDROME

RIG-I-Like Receptor Signaling in Singleton-Merten Syndrome

Singleton-Merten syndrome (SMS) is an autosomal dominant, multi-system innate immune disorder characterized by early and severe aortic and valvular calcification, dental and skeletal abnormalities, psoriasis, glaucoma, and other varying clinical findings.Recently we identified a specific gain-of-function mutation in IFIH1, interferon induced Belts

Expression of the cell cycle regulation proteins p53 and p21WAF1 in different types of non-dysplastic leukoplakias

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to analyze the immunolabeling of two cell cycle protein regulators, p53 and p21WAF1, in non-dysplastic leukoplakias with different epithelial alterations: acanthosis, hyperkeratosis and acanthosis combined with hyperkeratosis, and compare them with dysplastic leukoplakias.MATERIAL AND METHODS: This was a prospe

Potential Role of Cellular Senescence in Asthma

Cellular senescence is a complicated process featured by irreversible cell cycle arrest and senescence-associated secreted phenotype (SASP), resulting in accumulation of senescent cells, and low-grade inflammation.Cellular senescence not only occurs during the natural aging of normal cells, but also can be accelerated by various pathological factor
