• Functional properties of habenular neurons are determined by developmental stage and sequential neurogenesis 

      Fore, Stephanie Liesbeth; Acuna Hinrichsen, Francisca Daniela; Mutlu, Aytac Kadir; Bartoszek-Kandler, Ewelina Magdalena; Serneels, Bram; Faturos, Nicholas Guy; Chau, Khac Thanh Phong; Cosacak, Mehmet Ilyas; Diaz Verdugo, Carmen; Palumbo, Fabrizio; Ringers, Christa; Jurisch-Yaksi, Nathalie; Kizil, Caghan; Yaksi, Emre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The developing brain undergoes drastic alterations. Here, we investigated developmental changes in the habenula, a brain region that mediates behavioral flexibility during learning, social interactions, and aversive ...

    • LSD1 represses a neonatal/reparative gene program in adult intestinal epithelium 

      Zwiggelaar, Rosalie; Lindholm, Håvard Takle; Fosslie, Madeleine Lystad; Pedersen, Marianne Terndrup; Ohta, Yuki; Díez-Sánchez, Alberto; Martín-Alonso, Mara; Ostrop, Jenny; Matono, Mami; Parmar, Naveen; Kvaløy, Emilie; Spanjers, Roos; Nazmi, Kamran; Rye, Morten Beck; Drabløs, Finn; Arrowsmith, Cheryl H; Dahl, John Arne; Jensen, Kim B.; Sato, Toshiro; Oudhoff, Menno (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Intestinal epithelial homeostasis is maintained by adult intestinal stem cells, which, alongside Paneth cells, appear after birth in the neonatal period. We aimed to identify regulators of neonatal intestinal epithelial ...
    • Mre11 exonuclease activity removes the chain-terminating nucleoside analog gemcitabine from the nascent strand during DNA replication 

      Boeckemeier, L; Kraehenbuehl, R; Keszthelyi, A; Gasasira, MU; Vernon, EG; Beardmore, R; Vågbø, Cathrine Broberg; Chaplin, D; Gollins, S; Krokan, Hans Einar; Lambert, SAE; Paizs, B; Hartsuiker, Edgar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The Mre11 nuclease is involved in early responses to DNA damage, often mediated by its role in DNA end processing. MRE11 mutations and aberrant expression are associated with carcinogenesis and cancer treatment outcomes. ...
    • Population phenomena inflate genetic associations of complex social traits 

      Morris, Tim T; Davies, Neil Martin; Hemani, Gibran; Davey-Smith, George (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Heritability, genetic correlation, and genetic associations estimated from samples of unrelated individuals are often perceived as confirmation that genotype causes the phenotype(s). However, these estimates can arise from ...
    • Recapitulating hepatitis E virus-host interactions and facilitating antiviral drug discovery in human liver-derived organoids 

      Li, Pengfei; Li, Yunlong; Wang, Yijin; Liu, Jiaye; Lavrijsen, Marla; Li, Yang; Zhang, Ruyi; Verstegen, Monique M.A.; Wang, Yining; Li, Tian-Cheng; Ma, Zhongren; Kainov, Denis; Bruno, Marco J.; de Man, Robert A.; van der Laan, Luc J.W.; Peppelenbosch, Maikel P.; Pan, Qiuwei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Hepatotropic viruses naturally have narrow host and tissue tropisms, challenging the development of robust experimental models. The advent of organoid technology provides a unique opportunity for moving the field forward. ...
    • Testosterone and socioeconomic position: Mendelian randomization in 306,248 men and women in UK Biobank 

      Harrison, Sean; Davies, Neil Martin; Howe, Laura D.; Hughes, Amanda (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Men with more advantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) have been observed to have higher levels of testosterone. It is unclear whether these associations arise because testosterone has a causal impact on SEP. In 306,248 ...
