Metabolic stress and changes in nutrient levels modulate many aspects of skeletal muscle function during aging and disease. Growth factors and cytokines secreted by skeletal muscle, known as myokines, are important signaling factors but it is largely unknown whether they modulate muscle growth and d...
The transcriptional basis for disrupted epidermal differentiation arising from TP63 AEC mutations remains to be elucidated. Here we present an organotypic model of AEC dysfunction that phenocopies differentiation defects observed in AEC patient skin. Transcriptional analysis of model AEC tissue re...
Genome-wide association scan was performed in 1,705 cases of parkinson's genotyped on the Illumina Human 660W SNP array, and 5,175 controls genotyped on the Illumina1.2M-Duo. Analysis was carried out on the overlaps set of SNPs.
To identify novel susceptibility loci for psoriasis, we undertook a genome-wide association scan of of 594,224 SNPs in 2,622 individuals with psoriasis and 5,667 controls.
