Ageing and the telomere connection: An intimate relationship with inflammation

…, F Arfuso, RP Samy, MKP Lai, D Kappei… - Ageing research …, 2016 - Elsevier
Telomeres are the heterochromatic repeat regions at the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes,
whose length is considered to be a determinant of biological ageing. Normal ageing itself is …

[PDF][PDF] Covalent conjugation of extracellular vesicles with peptides and nanobodies for targeted therapeutic delivery

…, C Chan, V Ma, NTH Nguyen, D Kappei… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Natural extracellular vesicles (EVs) are ideal drug carriers due to their remarkable
biocompatibility. Their delivery specificity can be achieved by the conjugation of targeting ligands. …

Quantitative interaction screen of telomeric repeat-containing RNA reveals novel TERRA regulators

M Scheibe, N Arnoult, D Kappei, F Buchholz… - Genome …, 2013 - genome.cshlp.org
Telomeres are actively transcribed into telomeric repeat-containing RNA (TERRA), which has
been implicated in the regulation of telomere length and heterochromatin formation. Here, …

[HTML][HTML] The double-stranded DNA-binding proteins TEBP-1 and TEBP-2 form a telomeric complex with POT-1

…, C Renz, A Ceron-Noriega, HD Ulrich, D Kappei… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Telomeres are bound by dedicated proteins, which protect them from DNA damage and
regulate telomere length homeostasis. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, a …

Four different subunits are essential for expressing the synaptic glutamate receptor at neuromuscular junctions of Drosophila

…, RJ Kittel, A Schmid, TM Rasse, D Kappei… - Journal of …, 2005 - Soc Neuroscience
Three ionotropic glutamate receptor subunits, designated GluRIIA, GluRIIB, and GluRIII, have
been identified at neuromuscular junctions of Drosophila. Whereas GluRIIA and GluRIIB …

[HTML][HTML] A degradative to secretory autophagy switch mediates mitochondria clearance in the absence of the mATG8-conjugation machinery

…, YL Cho, A Natalia, L Wang, C Chan, D Kappei… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
PINK1-Parkin mediated mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy, represents one of the
most important mechanisms in mitochondrial quality control (MQC) via the clearance of …

Telomere length inheritance and aging

D Kappei, JA Londoņo-Vallejo - Mechanisms of ageing and development, 2008 - Elsevier
Telomere shortening accompanies human aging, and premature aging syndromes are often
associated with short telomeres. These two observations are central to the hypothesis that …

The developmental proteome of Drosophila melanogaster

…, N Dinges, M Dejung, T Altenhein, D Kappei… - Genome …, 2017 - genome.cshlp.org
Drosophila melanogaster is a widely used genetic model organism in developmental
biology. While this model organism has been intensively studied at the RNA level, a …

Targetable BET proteins-and E2F1-dependent transcriptional program maintains the malignancy of glioblastoma

…, BC Goh, HQ Dinh, D Kappei… - Proceedings of the …, 2018 - National Acad Sciences
Competitive BET bromodomain inhibitors (BBIs) targeting BET proteins (BRD2, BRD3, BRD4,
and BRDT) show promising preclinical activities against brain cancers. However, the BET …

[HTML][HTML] Long-read transcriptome sequencing reveals abundant promoter diversity in distinct molecular subtypes of gastric cancer

…, N Padmanabhan, C Xu, ALK Tan, C Chan, D Kappei… - Genome biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Deregulated gene expression is a hallmark of cancer; however, most studies to
date have analyzed short-read RNA sequencing data with inherent limitations. Here, we …
