Summary
Hb Baden, a rare hemoglobin variant, shows instability and high oxygen affinity despite normal health in a heterozygote. This finding impacts understanding of hemoglobinopathies and beta-globin structure.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Hematology
- Molecular Biology
Background:
- Hb Baden (β18Val→Met) is a rare hemoglobin variant.
- Its functional and clinical characteristics remain uninvestigated.

Structure of Cadherins
The cadherins were one of the first cell adhesion molecules discovered; the term “cadherins” is based on their calcium-dependent adhering properties. The first cadherins discovered on the epithelial, neuronal, and placental cells were named E-cadherin, P-cadherin, and N-cadherin, respectively. These classical cadherins share sequence and structural similarities. Other cadherins, including those involved in cell signaling, are grouped into non-classical cadherins. This diversity of cadherins...
Huntington Disease l: Introduction
Huntington disease or HD is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.PathophysiologyIt is caused by expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in the HTT gene on chromosome 4 (4p16.3), producing an abnormal huntingtin protein with an expanded polyglutamine tract. This misfolded protein disrupts cellular function, leading to neuronal death. Normal alleles have ≤26 repeats, 27–35 are intermediate (risk of expansion), 36–39 show reduced penetrance,...
