Gene expression analysis is one of the most important tools for discovering the link between human disorders and the genes that control them. The primary purpose of this study is to identify the gene expression profile o...

Abstract We hypothesized that supplementing finishing diets with palm oil would promote adipogenic gene expression but depress stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD) gene expression in intramuscular (i.m.) adipose tissues of Hanw...

Summary This study was designed to evaluate the quality and viability of bovine embryos produced by in vitro fertilization (IVF), after intracytoplasmic injection of pCX-EGFP-liposome complexes or pBCKIP2.8-liposome comp...

Abstract Background In photosynthetic eukaryotes of the green lineage, the expression of the chloroplast genome is mainly regulated post-transcriptionally, by RNA-binding proteins encoded in the nuclear genome termed org...

Voltage-gated calcium channel (Cav)  subunits are auxiliary subunits to Cavs. Recent reports show Cavsubunits may enter the nucleus and suggest a role in transcriptional regulation, but the physiological rele-vance...

Sugars are key constituents that affect quality of grape berries, and consequently the grape metabolic profile relevant to wine?s industry. However, enzymes and transporter genes expression involved in sugar transport at...

Abstract Although intravenous lipid emulsions are routinely administered to preterm infants, their specific effects on skeletal muscle development remain unclear. In this study, a soybean oil‐based lipid emulsion (Intr...

Abstract Background Heavy metal pollution, particularly cadmium (Cd), poses a significant threat to the environment, human health and plant growth. Taurine is an amino acid with antioxidant properties. The effect of taur...

Abstract Objective Thyroid-stimulating hormone beta subunit (TSHB) gene, a member of the glycoprotein hormone beta subunit family, has been detected in ovarian tissues and granulosa cells (GCs) of several species, sugges...

Abstract Aim This study aimed to evaluate the effect of quercetin on osteogenic gene expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulated human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs) under in vitro conditions. Materials and me...

The pathogenesis of Plasmodium falciparum malaria is linked to the variant surface antigen PfEMP1, which mediates tethering of infected erythrocytes to the host endothelium and is encoded by approximately 60 var genes pe...

Abstract Transcriptional regulation, critical for cellular differentiation and adaptation to environmental changes, involves coordinated interactions among DNA sequences, regulatory proteins, and chromatin architecture. ...

The most common adult primary brain tumor, glioblastoma (GBM), is characterized by fifteen months median patient survival and has no clear etiology. We and others have identified the presence of human cytomegalovirus (HC...

ABSTRACT Tibetan pigs are characterized by significant phenotypic differences relative to lowland pigs. Our previous study demonstrated that the genes CRYAB and CTGF were differentially expressed in heart tissues between...

BackgroundWe have developed a mouse model of Parenteral Nutrition Associated Cholestasis (PNAC) in which combining intestinal inflammation and PN infusion results in cholestasis, hepatic macrophage activation, and transc...

Grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L) moench] exhibits intraspecificvariability for the rate of dormancy release and pre-harvest sprouting behavior. Two inbred lines with contrasting sprouting response were compared: IS9530...

Objective: Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a copper-binding protein expressed in several tissues that plays distinct functions depending on the physiological context. Recently, increased ceruloplasmin expression in cavernosal tiss...

PURPOSE: To evaluate genes differentially expressed in ovaries from lean (wild type) and obese (ob/ob) female mice and cyclic AMP production in both groups.METHODS: The expression on messenger RNA levels of 84 genes conc...

Urokinase type plasminogen activator (uPA) is an oviductal fluid component whose activity is regulated by binding to urokinase type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR). In this study uPAR and uPA gene expression in bov...

Background: Liver hepatocellular carcinoma is a highly prevalent and lethal malignancy. The orphan cytokine receptor-like factor 3, although evolutionarily conserved and implicated in hematopoiesis and neuroprotection, r...

Abstract Medicinal leeches are rich in various antithrombotic components, holding significant pharmaceutical value. To investigate the differences in potential antithrombotic capacity among species, this study utilized t...

Senescence and degreening are the most important features that determine loss of quality during postharvest of broccoli. During senescence, chlorophylls are degraded with the purpose of avoiding presence of photoactive m...

BackgroundEstrogen receptor (ER)-low human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer shares similar pathological and molecular features with triple-negative breast cancer, yet the utility of the 21...

ABSTRACT Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) thrives in subtropical and tropical areas but is vulnerable to winter cold stress. The myeloblastosis (MYB) transcription factor family plays an important role in plant biolo...
