    • Epigenetic, genetic and maternal effects enable stable centromere inheritance 

      Das A., Iwata-Otsubo A., Destouni A., Dawicki-McKenna J.M., Boese K.G., Black B.E., Lampson M.A. (2022)
      Centromeres are defined epigenetically by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. The propagation cycle by which pre-existing CENP-A nucleosomes serve as templates for nascent assembly predicts the epigenetic memory of weakened ...

      Marou E., Liaskos C., Efthymiou G., Dardiotis E., Daponte A., Scheper T., Meyer W., Hadjigeorgiou G., Bogdanos D.P., Sakkas L.I. (2017)
      Objective. To study immunoreactivity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in systemic sclerosis (SSc), since HCMV has been put forward as a candidate infectious cause. Methods. Eighty four patients with SSc (67 females; ...
    • Multiparametric autoantibody profiling of patients with systemic sclerosis in Greece 

      Liaskos C., Marou E., Simopoulou T., Gkoutzourelas A., Barmakoudi M., Efthymiou G., Scheper T., Meyer W., Katsiari C.G., Bogdanos D.P., Sakkas L.I. (2018)
