IBRI RESEARCH PUBLISHED: Gene Expression Signatures of Target Tissues in Type 1 Diabetes, Lupus Erythematosus, Multiple Sclerosis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Abstract
Autoimmune diseases are typically studied with a focus on the immune system, and less attention is paid to responses of target tissues exposed to the immune assault. We...

IBRI RESEARCH PUBLISHED: The RNA-binding Profile of the Splicing Factor SRSF6 in Immortalized Human Pancreatic ß-cells
Abstract
In pancreatic β-cells, the expression of the splicing factor SRSF6 is regulated by GLIS3, a transcription factor encoded by a diabetes susceptibility gene. SRSF6 down-regulation promotes β-cell demise...
