Background/Objectives: Plants release extracellularly lipid bilayer-enclosed vesicles of nanometric size that can be retrieved in their fluids. Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PDEVs) have mostly been involved in modulating host–pathogen i...

Background/Objectives: To date, no information is available on the complete mitochondrial genome of the genus Dianema (Siluriformes: Callichthyidae), a callichthyid catfish. In this study, we report on two complete mitochondrial genome sequences of D...

Background: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) represents a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by impaired cortisol synthesis in the adrenal glands. Over 90% of CAH cases result from a deficiency of the enzyme 21-hydroxylase (21OH...

Background: Nibribacter radioresistens, a UV and gamma radiation-tolerant bacterium, was reported to have superior antibacterial activities against a variety of pathogenic bacteria through the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), but nothing...

Background: Analyzing Y-chromosome short tandem repeats (Y-STRs) is essential in forensic genetics and population studies. The Yfiler™ Plus kit, which includes 27 Y-STR markers, enhances the discrimination power for forensic and kinship applica...

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted SARS-CoV-2 variants with increased transmissibility and immune evasion. In Ethiopia, where cases surged, the understanding of the virus’s dynamics was limited. This study analyzed SARS-CoV-2 variant...

(1) Background: Hippophae gyantsensis, a drought-tolerant plant native to the Tibetan Plateau, plays a crucial ecological and economic role. While its drought tolerance mechanisms have been extensively studied, the role of alternative splicing (AS) i...

In an obesogenic environment, such as the one we have been experiencing in recent decades, epigenetics provides answers to the relationship between hereditary and environmentally acquired patterns that have significantly contributed to the global ris...

Background/Objectives: Limosilactobacillus fermentum KUB-D18, a heterofermentative lactic acid bacterium with promising probiotic properties, is known for promoting gut health and nutrient absorption. Originally isolated from chicken intestines,...

Mitochondria are vital organelles responsible for ATP production and metabolic regulation, essential for energy-intensive cells such as retinal ganglion cells. Dysfunction in mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation or mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) pathog...
