1 paper2 findings

Taxon 7227

C, W, M, H: cells, worms or flies, mice, humans. Dark: independent labs found the same change there. Light: one lab or one study. Outline: nothing yet.

Labs are independent when their papers share no last author and no institution.

Against: findings that point the other way from most findings on the same outcome.

On aging: the drug’s trials ARN judged to be about aging, of every trial that tests it for any use.

No results posted: trials that ended more than a year ago with no results on ClinicalTrials.gov and no paper in ARN’s record.

Company ties: findings with an author at a company, or from a paper whose competing-interests statement declares ties to one.

A gene’s or a process’s line counts the gene with the processes named after it, as NLRP3 with the NLRP3 inflammasome, and the trials of drugs aimed at it.

Effects

DNA damage accumulation

upin flies1

1 study

  1. EcR increases DNA damage accumulation in flies.

    “Conversely, the knockdown of EcR or O-GlcNAc transferase suppressed ISC proliferation and reduced DNA damage accumulation.”

Intestinal stem cell proliferation

upin flies1

1 study

  1. EcR increases intestinal stem cell proliferation in flies.

    “both genetic overexpression of EcR and exogenous 20-hydroxyecdysone treatment promote ISC proliferation and increase O-GlcNAc levels.”
