L1 drives IFN in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

M De Cecco, T Ito, AP Petrashen, AE Elias, NJ Skvir… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Retrotransposable elements are deleterious at many levels, and the failure of host
surveillance systems for these elements can thus have negative consequences. However, the …

[HTML][HTML] Prospective isolation of NKX2-1–expressing human lung progenitors derived from pluripotent stem cells

…, DC Thomas, KB McCauley, N Skvir… - The Journal of …, 2017 - Am Soc Clin Investig
It has been postulated that during human fetal development, all cells of the lung epithelium
derive from embryonic, endodermal, NK2 homeobox 1–expressing (NKX2-1 + ) precursor …

Notch and aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling impact definitive hematopoiesis from human pluripotent stem cells

A Leung, E Zulick, N Skvir, K Vanuytsel… - Stem Cells, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) stand to revolutionize the way we study human
development, model disease, and eventually, treat patients. However, these cell sources produce …

[PDF][PDF] A comprehensive, ethnically diverse library of sickle cell disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells

…, FJ Molina-Estevez, K Vanuytsel, N Skvir… - Stem Cell Reports, 2017 - cell.com
Sickle cell anemia affects millions of people worldwide and is an emerging global health
burden. As part of a large NIH-funded NextGen Consortium, we generated a diverse, …

[HTML][HTML] Modeling APC mutagenesis and familial adenomatous polyposis using human iPS cells

…, FJ Molina-Estevez, A Gianotti-Sommer, N Skvir… - PLoS …, 2018 - journals.plos.org
… For APC detection, 100 μg of protein was loaded on each lane and blotted membranes
were stained with specific antibodies for the N-terminus or C-terminus of APC (S1 Table). …

Expression of retrotransposons contributes to aging in Drosophila

BK Schneider, S Sun, M Lee, W Li, N Skvir, N Neretti… - Genetics, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Retrotransposons are a class of transposable elements capable of self-replication and
insertion into new genomic locations. Across species, the mobilization of retrotransposons in …

Author Correction: L1 drives IFN in senescent cells and promotes age-associated inflammation

M De Cecco, T Ito, AP Petrashen, AE Elias, NJ Skvir… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
… Standard deviations in these panels were previously calculated using the ‘n’ method (‘STDEV.P’
in Microsoft Excel) but we believe the ‘n − 1’ method is more appropriate (‘STDEV.S’ in …

[HTML][HTML] LINE-1 derepression in senescent cells triggers interferon and inflammaging

M De Cecco, T Ito, AP Petrashen, AE Elias, NJ Skvir… - Nature, 2019 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Retrotransposable elements (RTEs) are deleterious at multiple levels, and failure of host
surveillance systems can thus have negative consequences. However, the contribution of RTE …

Parasite manipulation of host phenotypes inferred from transcriptional analyses in a trematode‐amphipod system

…, DS Johnson, Y Raynes, TJ Fayton, N Skvir… - Molecular …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Manipulation of host phenotypes by parasites is hypothesized to be an adaptive strategy
enhancing parasite transmission across hosts and generations. Characterizing the molecular …

[PDF][PDF] Expression of amyloidogenic transthyretin drives hepatic proteostasis remodeling in an induced pluripotent stem cell model of systemic amyloid disease

…, S Ghosh, JK Diedrich, S Pankow, N Skvir… - Stem Cell Reports, 2020 - cell.com
The systemic amyloidoses are diverse disorders in which misfolded proteins are secreted by
effector organs and deposited as proteotoxic aggregates at downstream tissues. Although …
