Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a risk factor for chronic kidney disease and death. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a serious public health problem because of its associated morbidity, mortality, and health care cos...

Alternative splicing plays critical roles in differentiation, development, and disease and is a major source for protein diversity in higher eukaryotes. Analysis of alternative splicing regulation has traditionally focus...

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a metastasis-prone malignancy that is highly prevalent in endemic regions. Epigenetic dysregulation, including aberrant DNA/RNA/protein methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding...

Abstract A key factor contributing to the success of Darwin and Wallace’s theory of biological evolution by natural selection was its population-level perspective. This conceptual framework was not immediately adopted,...

BackgroundOver 120 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide, nearly half of them children. Current health responses remain largely emergency-driven, addressing immediate survival needs but overlooking the longer-t...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the continuously advancing and frequently lethal idiopathic interstitial pneumonia, is pathologically characterized by abnormal deposition of extracellular matrix constituents, leadin...

ABSTRACT The avian embryo is a time-honored animal model for understanding vertebrate development. A key area of extensive study using bird embryos centers on developmental phenotypic plasticity of the cardio-respiratory...

Trichomonas vaginalis is a common sexually transmitted parasite that colonizes the human urogenital tract, causing infections that range from asymptomatic to highly inflammatory. As an extracellular pathogen, adherence t...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the etiologic agent of tuberculosis (TB), has killed nearly one billion people in the last two centuries. Nowadays, TB remains a major global health problem, ranking among the thirteen l...

Abstract The most difficult hurdles associated with the treatment of gynecologic cancer (such as ovarian, cervical, and endometrial cancer) is chemoresistance, with ovarian cancer representing the most clinically challen...

Colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) represents the most severe malignant complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), characterized by high invasiveness, frequent recurrence, and poor prognosis. Recent studie...

As the twentieth century neared its midpoint, paleoanthropology was in dire need of revitalization and some coherent concept of evolution.  Sadly, as introduced to paleoanthropology by Ernst Mayr in 1950, the Modern Evo...

Background Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a frequent and prominent phenomenon in major depressive disorder (MDD). Even though its prevalence and risk factors are relatively well understood, the potential mechanisms o...

Accumulating evidence points out that sperm carry epigenetic instructions to embryo in the form of retained histones marks and RNA cargo that can transmit metabolic and behavioral traits to offspring. However, the mechan...

Elucidation of the cellular functions of RNAs represents one of the most exciting research areas in modern life sciences. RNAs play crucial roles in plant biology, including developmental regulation and environmental res...

Abstract Background Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) remains a leading cause of infant mortality worldwide, yet its underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. SIDS etiology is complex and involves the interplay betwee...

Following brain injury or in neurodegenerative diseases, astrocytes become reactive and may suffer pathological remodeling, features of which are the loss of their homeostatic functions and a pro-inflammatory gain of fun...

Abstract Histone post-translational modifications epigenetically regulate gene expression by modulating nucleosome structure and DNA accessibility. This review outlines how unique patterns of modifications on canonical ...

Metabolic alteration has emerged as a hallmark of cancer, reshaping cellular energetics and biosynthetic pathways through enzyme denaturation, mutations, acidic pH, and hypoxia to sustain uncontrolled proliferation. Unde...

BackgroundAlterations in ribosomal DNA copy number (rDNA-CN) and global DNA methylation have been associated with genomic instability and various diseases. However, their relevance in myocardial infarction (MI) has not b...
