Circadian influences on myocardial infarction
(2014-10-30)
Components of circadian rhythm maintenance, or “clock genes,” are endogenous entrainable oscillations of about 24 h that regulate biological processes and are found in the suprachaismatic nucleus (SCN) and many peripheral ...
Nicotine exposure and transgenerational impact: a prospective study on small regulatory microRNAs
(2014-12-17)
Early developmental stages are highly sensitive to stress and it has been reported that pre-conditioning with tobacco smoking during adolescence predisposes those youngsters to become smokers as adults. However, the molecular ...
