• P2X7R
  26 April 2017

  WKP
  P2X purinoceptor 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX7 gene.
  The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. Multiple alternatively spliced variants which would encode different isoforms have been identified although some fit nonsense-mediated decay criteria.
  The receptor is found in the central and peripheral nervous systems, in microglia, in macrophages, in uterine endometrium, and in the retina.
  The P2X7 receptor also serves as a pattern (...)

• proteostasis
  21 April 2017

  The proteostasis network (PN) regulates protein synthesis, folding, transport, and degradation to maintain proteome integrity and limit the accumulation of protein aggregates, a hallmark of aging and degenerative diseases.
  Proteome integrity is maintained by the proteostasis network (PN), which consists of interconnected systems that regulate protein synthesis, folding, transport, and degradation in every cell.
  The functionality of this network declines during aging, thus compounding the (...)

• rare somatic variants
  21 April 2017

  Genome-wide sequencing studies have shown that individual malignancies contain many mutations that range from those commonly found in tumor genomes to rare somatic variants present only in a small fraction of lesions.
  Such rare somatic variants dominate the landscape of genomic mutations in cancer, yet efforts to correlate somatic mutations found in one or few individuals with functional roles have been largely unsuccessful.
  Traditional methods for identifying somatic variants that drive (...)
