Abstract

The aim of this work was to examine the content of transcription coactivator with PZD-binding motif (TAZ) in fibroblasts and blood vessels of human dermis from the development until deep aging (from 20 weeks of pregnancy until 85 years old), and defining of a role of TAZ in age-dependent changes in the number of fibroblasts and blood vessels in the dermis. TAZ, proliferating cells nuclear antigen (PCNA), endothelial cells marker CD31 were detected with indirect immunohistochemical technique. Results showed that portion of fibroblasts with positive staining for TAZ in the dermis is decreased from 20 weeks of pregnancy to 40 years old. Percent of TAZ positive fibroblasts in dermis is increased since 41 years old until 60-85 years old group. The content of TAZ in blood vessels in the human dermis is decreased sufficiently from 20 weeks of pregnancy until 40 years old followed by an increase from 41 years old. From 61 to 85 years of life, content of TAZ in dermal vessels was not differ from those in 41-60 age group. Age-related changes in the content of TAZ in fibroblasts and blood vessels is not associated with an age-related decrease in total number and percent of PCNA positive fibroblasts, the number of blood vessels in the dermis.

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.
