High throughput deep sequencing reveals the important roles of microRNAs during sweetpotato storage at chilling temperature
(2017-11-29)
Sweetpotato (Impomoea batatas L.) is a globally important economic food crop with a potential of becoming a bioenergy and pharmaceutical crop. Thus, studying the molecular mechanism of tuberous root development and storage ...
Evaluating Multipulse Integration as a Neural-Health Correlate in Human Cochlear-Implant Users: Relationship to Psychometric Functions for Detection
(2017-01)
In electrical hearing, multipulse integration (MPI) describes the rate at which detection threshold decreases with increasing stimulation rate in a fixed-duration pulse train. In human subjects, MPI has been shown to be ...
Isolation and molecular identification of endophytic diazotrophs from seeds and stems of three cereal crops
(2017-10-30)
Ten strains of endophytic diazotroph were isolated and identified from the plants collected from three different agricultural crop species, wheat, rice and maize, using the nitrogen-free selective isolation conditions. The ...
Increased TNF-alpha and sTNFR2 levels are associated with high-grade anal squamous intraepithelial lesions in HIV-positive patients with low CD4 level
(2017-12-01)
Compared with HIV-negative individuals, HIV-positive individuals have a higher prevalence of anogenital human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, the causative agent of anogenital cancer. TNF-alpha is a major proinflammatory ...
Extrafacial nuchal lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei
(2017-07)
Lupus miliaris disseminatus faciei (LMDF) is an uncommon granulomatous disease of unknown origin. It most commonly presents as yellow-brown to red papules on the central face and often involves the lower eyelids. Extrafacial ...
Erratum to: Unity in defence: honeybee workers exhibit conserved molecular responses to diverse pathogens
(2017-03-23)
Erratum
After the publication of this work [1] it was noticed that there was a typesetting error in figure 5 where two add- itional red lines were added in the sections “gene expres- sion profiles” and “transformed gene ...
Plant genome editing with TALEN and CRISPR
(2017-04-24)
Genome editing promises giant leaps forward in advancing biotechnology, agriculture, and basic research. The process relies on the use of sequence specific nucleases (SSNs) to make DNA double stranded breaks at user defined ...
Novel Pelagic Iron-Oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria from the Chesapeake Bay Oxic–Anoxic Transition Zone
(2017-07-18)
Chemolithotrophic iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) could theoretically inhabit any environment where Fe(II) and O2 (or nitrate) coexist. Until recently, marine Fe-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria had primarily been observed in ...
N6-methyladenosine is required for the hypoxic stabilization of specific mRNAs
(2017-09)
Post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA during oxygen deprivation, or hypoxia, can affect the survivability of cells. Hypoxia has been shown to increase stability of a subset of ischemia-related mRNAs, including VEGF. RNA ...
Neuron-derived transthyretin modulates astrocytic glycolysis in hormone-independent manner
(2017-11-20)
It has been shown that neurons alter the expression of astrocytic metabolic enzymes by secretion of until now unknown molecule(s) into extracellular fluid. Here, we present evidence that neuron-derived transthyretin (TTR) ...
