MicroRNA (miRNA) transfer via exosomes may mediate cell-to-cell communication. Interestingly,
specific miRNAs are enriched in exosomes in a cell-type-dependent fashion. However, …

Linkage analysis and DNA sequencing in a family exhibiting an X-linked mental retardation (XLMR)
syndrome, characterized by microcephaly, epilepsy, ataxia, and absent speech and …

Expression of the mannose receptor (MRC1/CD206) identifies macrophage subtypes, such
as alternatively activated macrophages (AAMs) and M2-polarized tumor-associated …

Dosage compensation in male Drosophila relies on the X chromosome–specific recruitment
of a chromatin-modifying machinery, the dosage compensation complex (DCC). The …

For the compact Drosophila genome, several factors mediating insulator function, such as su(Hw)
and dCTCF, have been identified. Recent analyses showed that both these insulator‐…

Epigenetic modifications are expected to occur at a much faster rate than genetic mutations,
potentially causing isolated populations to stochastically drift apart, or if they are subjected …

Background Advances in sequencing technologies and bioinformatics have made the analysis
of microbial communities almost routine. Nonetheless, the need remains to improve on …

The hepatokine fetuin‐A can together with free fatty acids ( FFA s) enhance adipose tissue (
AT ) inflammation and insulin resistance via toll‐like receptor 4 ( TLR 4). Although some of …

… Gilfillan for critical reading of this manuscript. Work in the laboratory of PBB was supported
by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft through Transregio5, the Leibniz Programme, and “…

Background Chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with high-throughput DNA sequencing
(ChIP-seq) offers high resolution, genome-wide analysis of DNA-protein interactions. …
