"The process of misincorporation of incorrect bases into the nascent RNA as a result of DNA-lesion bypass by RNA polymerases during transcription is referred to as transcriptional mutagenesis (TM). Although this has been shown to alter the subsequent proteins function, the relative importance of TM in human health is virtually untouched. I propose to study the cellular effects and biological signi...

Why can’t you tickle yourself? Previous behavioural and neuroimaging evidence suggests that when we move one hand to touch the other, the resulting tactile sensation is perceived as less intense compared to identical touches of external origin. This sensory attenuation (SA) phenomenon is hypothesized to arise because our brains use internal information about the motor command (efference copy) to p...

Oligodendrocytes (OL) are glial cells that mediate myelination of neurons, a process that is defective in multiple sclerosis (MS). Although OL precursor cells (OPCs) can initially promote remyelination in MS, this regenerative mechanism eventually fails in progressive MS. OPCs go through several epigenetic states that ultimately define their potential to differentiate and myelinate. OPCs in progre...

Tumor suppressor genes such as TP53, RB1, PTEN and APC are frequently inactivated in sporadic and inherited human tumors. A significant fraction of the mutations in these genes are nonsense mutations that lead to premature termination of translation and expression of truncated unstable and non-functional proteins.
