The greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili), a pelagic marine species with a global distribution, has considerable worldwide potential as an aquaculture species. However, difficulties have been encountered in inducing spontaneous spawning in cultured fi...

COVID-19 affects several human genes, each with its own p-value. The combination of drugs associated with these genes with small p-values may lead to an estimation of the combined p-value between COVID-19 and some drug combinations, thereby increasin...

The formation of gas vesicles has been investigated in bacteria and haloarchaea for more than 50 years. These air-filled nanostructures allow cells to stay at a certain height optimal for growth in their watery environment. Several gvp genes are invo...

Many plants confront several environmental stresses including heat, water stress, drought, salinity and high-metal concentrations that are crucial in defining plant productivity at different stages of their life cycle. Nitric oxide (NO) and Silicon (...

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins comprise a diverse superfamily involved in plant development and stress responses. This study presents a first genome-wide analysis of LEA genes in papaya (Carica papaya L., Caricaceae), an economically impo...

The Rosa alba L. and Rosa damascena Mill. growing in Bulgaria are known for their extremely fine essential oil and valuable hydrosols. Irrespectively of its wide use in human life, little research exists on the cytotoxic and genotoxic activity of the...

One of the most important therapeutic modalities for the management of hypertension is the inhibition of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Cordyceps militaris has received substantial attention because to its therapeutic potential and biologic...

Saussurea hypoleuca belongs to the family Asteraceae, which has previously shown hepatoprotective, anticancer, and antioxidant activity. This study aimed to evaluate the antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic activity of its root methanol extract a...

(1) Background: Heart failure is a complex disease leading to functional disability. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold standard in assessing aerobic capacity and formulating function-based prognostic stratification; however, patient...

Background. Many pathological conditions of both cardiovascular and non-cardiac origin in the course of their development cause damage to contractile cardiac muscle cells—cardiac myocytes (CMCs). One of the most sensitive and specific criteria...
