Old Aegean palaeoevents driving the diversification of an endemic isopod species (Oniscidea, Trachelipodidae)
(2014)The Greek endemic isopod species Trachelipus aegaeus is distributed in Aegean islands and the adjacent coastal parts of the Greek mainland. Major palaeogeographic events of the Aegean archipelago, such as the formation of ...

Omega-3 fatty acids protect retinal neurons in the DBA/2J hereditary glaucoma mouse model
(2018)The purpose of this study was to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (ω3-PUFA) supplementation, alone or in combination with timolol eye drops, in a mouse model of hereditary glaucoma. ...

On the surrogate value of red-listed butterflies for butterflies and grasshoppers: A case study in Grammos site of Natura 2000, Greece
(2009)We tested the surrogate value of butterflies, red-listed butterflies and grasshoppers for each other in terms of diversity patterns congruence and complementarity at a site in the NATURA 2000 network. Grammos Mountain is ...

Outcome of kidney transplantation in autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1
(2003)Background. Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD) is an inherited, distinct, chronic, tubulointerstitial, cystic-type nephropathy, often described together with juvenile nephronophthisis as a single ...

Overexpression of the m4 and mα genes of the E(spl)-Complex antagonizes Notch mediated lateral inhibition
(1999)Intercellular signalling mediated by Notch proteins is crucial to many cell fate decisions in metazoans. Its profound effects on cell fate and proliferation require that a complex set of responses involving positive and ...

A p53-mediated DNA damage response limits reprogramming to ensure iPS cell genomic integrity
(2009)The reprogramming of differentiated cells to pluripotent cells (induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells) is known to be an inefficient process. We recently reported that cells with short telomeres cannot be reprogrammed to ...

Parental origin effects in human trisomy for chromosome 14q: Implications for genomic imprinting
(1998)Parental origin specific congenital anomalies have been noted in patients with uniparental disomy of the long arm of human chromosome 14 (UPD14). This suggests the presence of imprinted genes, consistent with observations ...

The pathogenic properties of a novel and conserved gene product, KerV, in proteobacteria
(2009)Identification of novel virulence factors is essential for understanding bacterial pathogenesis and designing antibacterial strategies. In this study, we uncover such a factor, termed KerV, in Proteobacteria. Experiments ...

Patterns of taxonomic diversity among terrestrial isopods
(2015)The publication of the world catalog of terrestrial isopods some ten years ago by Schmalfuss has facilitated research on isopod diversity patterns at a global scale. Furthermore, even though we still lack a comprehensive ...

Patterns of transmitted HIV drug resistance in Europe vary by risk group
(2014)Background: In Europe, a continuous programme (SPREAD) has been in place for ten years to study transmission of drug resistant HIV. We analysed time trends of transmitted drug resistance mutations (TDRM) in relation to the ...

Persistence of episomal HIV-1 infection intermediates in patients on highly active anti-retroviral therapy
(2000)Treatment of HIV-1-infected individuals with a combination of anti- retroviral agents results in sustained suppression of HIV-1 replication, as evidenced by a reduction in plasma viral RNA to levels below the limit of ...

Persistent HIV-1 infection of natural killer cells in patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy
(2002)We have identified a subset of CD56+CD3- human natural killer (NK) cells that express CD4 and the HIV coreceptors CCR5 and CXCR4. These cells can be productively infected in vitro by both CCR5- and CXCR4-using molecular ...
