Summary A new genus of the Gymnoascaceae is described and illustrated. A single species,Petalosporus nodulosus, is described. Four isolates representing this new species were isolated from dung in India and California. Morphological development and other diagnostic characteristics are given. The new genus is characterized by the formation of a discrete but often fragmentary ascocarp the peridium of which undergoes partial disarticulation at maturity. At least some of the peridial hyphae have thick walls and are enlarged at septal nodes, and these septa are also the points of disarticulation. A primary generic character is the floral-shaped pattern in which ascospores are found. 相似文献

Protein misfolding disorders (PMDs) refer to a group of diseases related to the misfolding of particular proteins that aggregate and deposit in the cells and tissues of humans and other mammals. The mechanisms that trigger protein misfolding and aggregation are still not fully understood. Increasing experimental evidence indicates that abnormal interactions between PMD-related proteins and nucleic acids (NAs) can induce conformational changes. Here, we discuss these protein–NA interactions and address the role of deoxyribonucleic (DNA) and ribonucleic (RNA) acid molecules in the conformational conversion of different proteins that aggregate in PMDs, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and prion diseases. Studies on the affinity, stability, and specificity of proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases and NAs are specifically addressed. A landscape of reciprocal effects resulting from the binding of prion proteins, amyloid-β peptides, tau proteins, huntingtin, and α-synuclein are presented here to clarify the possible role of NAs, not only as encoders of genetic information but also in triggering PMDs. 相似文献

Prostate cancer is an increasing threat throughout the world. As a result of a demographic shift in population, the number of men at risk for developing prostate cancer is growing rapidly. For 2002, an estimated 189,000 prostate cancer cases were diagnosed in the U.S., accompanied by an estimated 30,200 prostate cancer deaths [Jemal et al., 2002]. Most prostate cancer is now diagnosed in men who were biopsied as a result of an elevated serum PSA (>4 ng/ml) level detected following routine screening. Autopsy studies [Breslow et al., 1977; Yatani et al., 1982; Sakr et al., 1993], and the recent results of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) [Thompson et al., 2003], a large scale clinical trial where all men entered the trial without an elevated PSA (<3 ng/ml) were subsequently biopsied, indicate the prevalence of histologic prostate cancer is much higher than anticipated by PSA screening. Environmental factors, such as diet and lifestyle, have long been recognized contributors to the development of prostate cancer. Recent studies of the molecular alterations in prostate cancer cells have begun to provide clues as to how prostate cancer may arise and progress. For example, while inflammation in the prostate has been suggested previously as a contributor to prostate cancer development [Gardner and Bennett, 1992; Platz, 1998; De Marzo et al., 1999; Nelson et al., 2003], research regarding the genetic and pathological aspects of prostate inflammation has only recently begun to receive attention. Here, we review the subject of inflammation and prostate cancer as part of a "chronic epithelial injury" hypothesis of prostate carcinogenesis, and the somatic genome and phenotypic changes characteristic of prostate cancer cells. We also present the implications of these changes for prostate cancer diagnosis, detection, prevention, and treatment. 相似文献

The pathological potential of glial cells was recognized already by Rudolf Virchow, Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Pio Del Rio-Ortega. Many functions and roles performed by astroglia in the healthy brain determine their involvement in brain diseases; as indeed any kind of brain insult does affect astrocytes, and their performance in pathological conditions, to a very large extent, determines the survival of the brain parenchyma, the degree of damage and neurological defect. Astrocytes being in general responsible for overall brain homeostasis are involved in virtually every form of brain pathology. Here we provide an overview of recent developments in identifying the role and mechanisms of the pathological potential of astroglia. 相似文献
