Fruit size and pungency are key yield and quality traits in chili. This study combines high-throughput genotyping with bulk segregant analysis (BSA) to identify candidate SNPs and quantitative trait loci (QTLs) by analyzing extreme phenotypes from a...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory disease characterized by substantial heterogeneity in histologic activity, which is frequently uncoupled from clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings. Persistent microscopic inflamma...

Melanoma-associated antigens (MAGEs) are cancer-testis antigens (CTAs) aberrantly expressed in multiple cancer types, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and associated with aggressive phenotypes. Although MAGE proteins are widely studied as ca...

The incidence of primary liver cancer is increasing annually, with extremely high mortality and suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. The inefficient presentation of tumor antigens and low infiltration of specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) result in...

The patch-clamp technique is widely regarded as the gold standard in cellular electrophysiology and can be applied in several configurations. In the cell-attached (C-A) mode, it enables the recording of single-channel currents, whereas the whole-cell...

Approximately 50% of individuals diagnosed with Stage I liver cancer live beyond four years; however, a small subset of Stage I patients die within the first year. A prognostic biomarker panel that can identify high-risk Stage I patients may be extre...

The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis plays a pivotal role in regulating stress responses through ACTH-stimulated glucocorticoid production. The transcriptional programmes underlying temporal adaptation to prolonged ACTH exposure...

Growth factors play a significant role in the immunopathogenesis of liver diseases, especially liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The somatostatin analog octreotide has been used as treatment in advanced HCC, based on its anti-neopla...

“Latest Review Papers in Molecular Biology 2025”, a Special Issue of Current Issues in Molecular Biology (CIMB), was open for publishing review articles on navigating the landscape in molecular biology [...]

Background: This study is part of the HEAL ITALIA partnership, funded by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and the European Union. Heart failure (HF) is a serious health problem, with a reduced density of the β1-adrenergic recepto...
