Nuclear hormone receptors are transcription factors that bind DNA and regulate transcription in a ligand-dependent manner. PPAR-gamma is a member of this gene family that is activated by fatty acids and thiazolidinedione drugs that plays a role in insulin sensitivity and adipogenesis (See Visceral Fat Deposits and the Metabolic Syndrome pathway). Like PPAR-alpha and other members of this gene family, PPAR-gamma activ......閱讀全文

RNA的m6A修飾是RNA表觀遺傳學研究領域的大熱門,近年來相關研究多次登上高分雜志。從胚胎發育到疾病進程,從RNA的穩定性到可變剪接和翻譯效率,m6A的功能幾乎無處不在(圖1)。圖1 由于m6A是一種RNA修飾,若想知道它在某一體系(發育階段或癌癥)中的作用,目前大部分研究都是基于影響m6A

實驗動物代謝監測系統(籠統地稱為代謝籠)選擇需要關注的問題目前,全球及中國糖尿病肥胖等代謝疾病的發病率越來越高,越來越需要我們認真去研究對待,因此對糖尿病肥胖等代謝疾病的研究越來越多。 該研究一般以大小鼠為實驗對象,通過大小鼠的呼吸商(即呼入氧氣和
幾十年來,DNA一直被認為是決定生命遺傳信息的核心物質,但是近些年不斷的研究表明,生命遺傳信息從來就不是基因所能完全決定的,比如科學家們發現,可以在不影響DNA序列的情況下改變基因組的修飾,這種改變不僅影響個體的發育,而且還可遺傳給后代。如腫瘤等多種疾病并非僅由基因突變而引起,且與DNA和組蛋白
