Abstract

The aim of this work was to study B type lamins in human skin at different ages. Lamins B1 and B2 were detected in sections of the skin by indirect immunohistochemistry. There were 62,3 % of dermal fibroblasts with positive staining for lamin B1 at the period from 20 to 40 weeks of gestation. From birth to 40 years, 41-42 % of fibroblasts containing lamin B1 were found in the dermis. In age interval from 41 to 85 years, 57-60 % of dermal fibroblasts had a positive staining for lamin B1. The number of fibroblasts containing lamin B2 was gradually decreased from 80,6 to 68,6 % from 20 weeks of gestation to 85 years old. Expression of lamin B1 in the nuclei of fibroblasts was reduced from birth to 40 years old. Content of lamin B2 in the nuclei of fibroblasts was almost constant from 20 weeks of gestation to 85 years old. Number of fibroblasts in dermis was diminished with age. The most significant decrease in the number of fibroblasts was observed from 20 weeks of gestation to 20 years old. Results allow to suggest the participation of lamin B1 in triggering age-dependent decrease in the number of fibroblasts in the dermis in humans.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
