The single nucleotide polymorphisms rs35349669 and rs10933431 within Inositol Polyphosphate-5-Phosphatase D (INPP5D) are strongly associated with Alzheimer’s Disease risk. To better understand INPP5D expression in the brain, we investigated INP...

Ovarian cancers are curable by surgical resection when discovered early. Unfortunately, most ovarian cancers are diagnosed in the later stages. One strategy to identify early ovarian tumors is to screen women who have the highest risk. This opinion a...

The authors wish to make the following correction to this paper [...]

Handwritten documents may contain probative DNA, but most crime laboratories do not process this evidence. DNA recovery should not impair other evidence processing such as latent prints or indented writing. In this study, single fingermarks on paper...

(1) Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in a variety of biological processes, such as cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and organ development. Recent studies have shown that plant miRNAs may enter the diet and play physiological and/o...

This review focuses on the Sahel/Savannah belt, a large region of Africa where two alternative subsistence systems (pastoralism and agriculture), nowadays, interact. It is a long-standing question whether the pastoralists became isolated here from ot...

Poultry are one of the most valuable resources for human society. They are also recognized as a powerful experimental animal for basic research on embryogenesis. Demands for the supply of low-allergen eggs and bioreactors have increased with the deve...

ABCG5 and ABCG8 are two key adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette (ABC) proteins that regulate whole-body sterol trafficking. This study aimed to elucidate the association between ABCG5/G8 gene region variants and lipid profile, cardiometabolic tra...

Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a method that focuses on the analysis of gene expression profile in individual cells. This method has been successfully applied to answer the challenging questions of the pathogenesis of multifactorial diseas...

Dinucleotides are known as determinants for various structural and physiochemical properties of DNA and for binding affinities of proteins to DNA. These properties (e.g., stiffness) and bound proteins (e.g., transcription factors) are known to influe...
