Recent advances in microbiome studies have revealed much information about how the gut virome, mycobiome, and gut bacteria influence health and disease. Over the years, many studies have reported associations between the gut microflora under differen...
To date, there is a lack of research into the vaginal and sperm microbiome and its bearing on artificial insemination (AI) success in the ovine species. Using hypervariable regions V3–V4 of the 16S rRNA, we describe, for the first time, the com...
There is a misconception that intrinsic disorder in proteins is equivalent to darkness. The present study aims to establish, in the scope of the Swiss-Prot and Dark Proteome databases, the relationship between disorder and darkness. Three distinct pr...
Despite the huge decrease in deaths caused by Shigella worldwide in recent decades, shigellosis still causes over 200,000 deaths every year. No vaccine is currently available, and the morbidity of the disease coupled with the rise of antimicrobial re...
Genetic counseling applied to limb–girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) can be very challenging due to their clinical and genetic heterogeneity and the availability of different molecular assays. Genetic counseling should therefore be addressed...
During the last decade, the availability of next-generation sequencing-based approaches has revealed the presence of microbial communities in almost all the human body, including the reproductive tract. As for other body sites, this resident microbio...
A genetically engineered chimeric virus crTMV-CP-PLRV composed of the crucifer-infecting tobacco mosaic virus (crTMV) RNA and the potato leafroll virus (PLRV) coat protein (CP) was obtained by agroinfiltration of Nicotiana benthamiana with the binary...
The increasing interest in metagenomics is enhancing our knowledge regarding the composition and role of the microbiota in human physiology and pathology. Indeed, microbes have been reported to play a role in several diseases, including infertility....
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the major catechin present in green tea, presents diverse appealing biological activities, such as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral activities, among others. The present work evaluated...
The knowledge of genetic variants in genes involved in drug metabolism may be translated into reduction of adverse drug reactions, increase of efficacy, healthcare outcomes improvement and economic benefits. Many high-throughput tools are available f...
