Identification of plasma microRNA expression changes in multiple system atrop...
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small (18–25 nt), single-stranded, non-coding RNAs that play key roles in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. The... -
Symptoms in Swiss adolescents in relation to exposure from fixed site transmi...
Abstract Background There is public concern regarding potential health effects of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by fixed site transmitters. We therefore... -
The NuA4 acetyltransferase and histone H4 acetylation promote replication rec...
Abstract Background Histone acetylation plays an important role in DNA replication and repair because replicating chromatin is subject to dynamic changes in its structures.... -

Fecal metatranscriptomics of macaques with idiopathic chronic diarrhea reveal...
Abstract Background Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among juvenile rhesus macaques. Characterized by chronic inflammation of the... -
Nuclear lncRNA HOXD-AS1 suppresses colorectal carcinoma growth and metastasis...
Abstract Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been indicated to play critical roles in cancer development and progression. LncRNA HOXD cluster antisense RNA1 (HOXD-AS1)... -
Pancreatic cancer-initiating cell exosome message transfer into noncancer-ini...
Abstract Background Cancer-initiating cell (CIC) exosomes (CIC-TEX) are suggested reprogramming Non-CIC. Mode of message transfer and engagement of CIC-markers being disputed,... -
Micronutrient-rich dietary intake is associated with a reduction in the effec...
Abstract Background Informal recycling of electronic waste (e-waste) releases particulate matter (PM) into the ambient air. Human exposure to PM has been reported to induce... -
Construction of a trifunctional cellulase and expression in Saccharomyces cer...
Abstract Background Cellulose is the most important component of lignocellulose, and its degradation requires three different types of enzymes to act synergistically. There have... -
A vascular endothelial growth factor receptor gene variant is associated with...
Abstract Background The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is one of the main causes of mortality in adults admitted to intensive care units. Previous studies have... -
Examining the role of unmeasured confounding in mediation analysis with genet...
Abstract Background In mediation analysis if unmeasured confounding is present, the estimates for the direct and mediated effects may be over or under estimated. Most methods... -
Longitudinal associations between TV viewing and BMI not explained by the ‘mi...
Abstract Background The mechanisms explaining the positive relationship between television (TV) viewing and body mass index (BMI) are unclear. ‘Mindless eating’ and ‘physical...
