Characterization of RNA from Exosomes and Other Extracellular Vesicles Isolated by a Novel Spin Column-Based Method

TL;DR: The development and characterization of a spin column-based method for the isolation of total RNA from EVs in serum and plasma that isolates highly pure RNA of equal or higher quantity compared to ultracentrifugation, with high specificity for vesicular over non-vesicular RNA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evf2 (Dlx6as) lncRNA regulates ultraconserved enhancer methylation and the differential transcriptional control of adjacent genes.

TL;DR: A model in which Evf2 inhibits enhancer DNA methylation is proposed, effectively modulating competition between the DLX1/2 activator and MECP2 repressor proteins enables differential transcriptional control of adjacent genes with shared DNA regulatory elements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Plasticity of the Electrical Connectome of C. elegans.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that dauer-specific electrical synapse remodeling is responsible for specific aspects of the altered locomotory and chemosensory behavior of dauers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Prop1-like homeobox gene unc-42 specifies the identity of synaptically connected neurons.

TL;DR: It is found that the Caenorhabditis elegans Prop1-like homeobox gene unc-42 is expressed in 15 distinct sensory, inter- and motor neuron classes throughout the entire C. elegans nervous system, and establishes functional circuitry by acting as a terminal selector of functionally connected neuron types.
