The IDeaS initiative: pilot study to assess the impact of rare diseases on patients and healthcare systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a pilot IDeaS study, where they attempted to quantify the number of rare diseases (RD) patients and the direct medical costs of 14 representative RD patients within 4 different HCS databases and performed a preliminary analysis of the diagnostic journey for selected RD patients.

Channeling studies in yeast: yeast as a model for channelopathies?

TL;DR: The utility of using yeast as a model system for studying ion channels associated to human disease is illustrated using yeast lacking the GEF1 gene product that encodes the human homolog to the chloride channel CLC-3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of a novel N-acylhomoserine lactonase, AidP, from Antarctic Planococcus sp.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AidP is effective in attenuating the pathogenicity of P. carotovorum, a plant pathogen that causes soft-rot disease and the potential of this anti-quorum sensing agent to be safely applied in the field trials is indicated.

Akt2 and SGK3 are both determinants of postnatal hair follicle development

TL;DR: Akt2 and Akt2 both appear to play important roles in postnatal hair follicle morphogenesis, likely because of their redundant regulation of β‐catenin‐dependent transcriptional processes, which control hair follicles cell proliferation.
