research The TFIID subunit TAF4 regulates keratinocyte proliferation and has cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous tumour suppressor activity in mouse epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research YAP and TAZ are essential for basal and squamous cell carcinoma initiation
YAP and TAZ proteins are necessary for the development of two types of skin cancer.
research Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and the heterozygote carrier
Identifying nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia and carriers of CYP21 mutations is challenging, and genetic counseling is recommended due to their prevalence.
research Clinical case of a patient with progressive supranuclear palsy – from symptom to diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis of progressive supranuclear palsy requires thorough neurological assessments and MRI.
