Diabetes is a condition characterized by impaired regulation of blood glucose levels, leading to various complications such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy (DR), caused by a disrupted retinal blood barrier, is associated with oxidative stress resulting from dysregulated glucose levels in the retina. The primary cilium, an organelle involved in energy balance and gl...
A diabetes caracteriza-se por uma anormal capacidade de controlar o nível de glucose na corrente sanguínea, podendo levar a outras complicações, tais como hipertensão, doenças cardiovasculares, e retinopatia. A desregulação dos níveis de glucose na retina tem demonstrado aumentar os níveis de peróxido de hidrogénio, conduzindo a uma rutura na barreira sanguínea da retina, uma das causas de retinopatia diabética...
Almost all human genes that contain multiple exons undergo alternative splicing. Therefore, a single gene can originate multiple mRNA isoforms which causes a dramatic increase in the variability of the expected proteome. Noteworthy, phenotypic variability and disease susceptibility in human populations are related to alternative splicing. Published work from our group identified a new human centrosomal protein,...
