Peptide ligands play crucial roles in the life cycle of plants by modulating the innate immunity against pathogens and regulating growth and developmental processes. One well-studied example is INFLORESCENCE DEFICIENT IN ...

microRNAs (miRNAs) are short RNA molecules, which post-transcriptionally regulate other genes. They are generated from genome-encoded single-stranded hairpin structures, by a set of RNA-processing enzymes. miRNAs are highly ...

Whole exome sequencing was performed to identify putative disease-causing variants in a girl with macrocephaly, epilepsy and severe mental retardation, who had an unknown molecular diagnosis. Compound heterozygous SZT2 ...

Yersinia ruckeri is a causative agent of yersiniosis or enteric redmouth disease (ERM) in salmonid fish. It leads to significant economic losses in fish aquaculture industry each year. The exact virulence mechanism and ...

Fisheries activities and the development of more efficient fishing gear, have had detrimental effects in commercial stocks. This occurs largely as a result of negative selection acting on certain individuals during the ...

Autoantibodies specific for the enzyme transglutaminase 2 (TG2) are a hallmark of the gluten-sensitive enteropathy celiac disease. Production of the Abs is strictly dependent on exposure to dietary gluten proteins, thus ...

Background: Tumor-infiltrating immune cells analyzed by immunohistochemistry are reported as alternative prognostic factors to supplement TNM staging in operable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but little is done by ...
