Shepherding DNA ends: Rif1 protects telomeres and chromosome breaks by Mario Alberto Flores-Valdez, Gabriele A. Fontana, Julia K. Reinert, Nicolas H. Thomä, Ulrich Rass

“…While this functional dichotomy has long been a puzzle, recent findings link yeast Rif1 not only to telomeres, but also to DSB repair, and mechanistic parallels likely exist. In this review, we will provide an overview of the actions of Rif1 at DNA ends and explore how exclusion of end-processing factors might be the underlying principle allowing Rif1 to fulfill diverse biological roles at telomeres and chromosome breaks.…”

Impairment of renal reserve filtration capacity in stage II–III chronic obstructive pulmonary disease under conditions of syntropy with stage II essential hypertension by S. Ya. Dotsenko, L. S. Akimova

“…In COPD comorbid with EH, almost 5/6 patients showed signs of renal dysfunction in the form of impaired renal reserve ability to proportionally increase GFR, indicating the progression of nephron hyperfiltration processes. According to the Pearson’s chi-squared test, adverse disorders of pulmonary respiratory function were significantly more common (decreased Tiffeneau index (χ2 = 6.13, p = 0.013)) as well as cases of microalbuminuria combined with elevated renal interlobar artery resistance (RI ILRA >1.05 RU) (χ2 = 13.64, p < 0.001) in COPD patients with EH in the lower quartile of the FRR index, indicating the possible parallelism in certain pathological processes and abnormal autoregulatory mechanisms of glomerular filtration in combination of COPD and EH. …”
