Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

ABSTRACT Mutation‐intolerant genes (MIGs), which are constrained in tumors yet variable in normal tissues, are critical for cancer survival. Herein, we developed miDriver, a computational framework using pancancer‐no...

We developed a new multiplexed-PCR assay to accurately classify Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) isolates at the sublineage level by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This method relies on 7 SNPs located in...

Abstract Background 3-Hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) is a promising C3 platform chemical with wide industrial applications. However, its microbial production remains limited by insufficient intracellular malonyl-CoA availa...

Baculoviruses are insect pathogens that are characterized by assembling the viral dsDNA into two different enveloped virions during an infective cycle: occluded virions (ODVs; immersed in a protein matrix known as occlus...

Abstract The global emergence and spread of infectious diseases highlights the importance of having an easily accessible, decentralized testing modality that is adept at quickly identifying the nucleic acids present in a...

El objetivo de esta reflexión es realizar un estudio comparativo sobre la eficacia, eficiencia técnica y costo de las tecnologías más importantes para el desarrollo de nuevos diseños vegetales, incluyendo la mejora ...

Our past, present, and future are governed by the grand design of the genetic blueprint, which was mapped more than two decades back. While the eloquent design of our genome results from millions of years of evolution a...

Background and aims Meat-borne Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) remains a leading global foodborne pathogen harbouring novel enterotoxin genes (NEGs) encoding superantigenic toxins with conditionally enhanced pathogenic...

Abstract Background Variants in OTUD5 are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the pathogenicity of a novel OTUD5 va...

Abstract Background Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are pivotal in biopharmaceutical production, yet balancing high recombinant protein yield with cell survival remains challenging. While previous studies have targeted...

Abstract Curcumin, a natural polyphenol with multifaceted anticancer properties, faces significant clinical translation challenges due to poor solubility, rapid metabolism, and low bioavailability. Hydrogels, as biocompa...

ESKAPE, including Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. pose a significant global health threat due to their extensive ...

Abstract Background Carbapenem-resistant Citrobacter freundii is increasingly reported and recognized as an opportunistic host of mobile carbapenemase-encoding elements in healthcare-associated settings. However, lineage...

Background The myostatin gene has played an important role in the genetic improvement of the main species of economic importance; however, it has not yet been described for some Neotropical fish essential for aquaculture...

ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) leads to severe renal cysts and progressive kidney dysfunction, with no approved treatments. The absence of such cystic phenotypes in Pkhd1−/− mice under...

Abstract Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a complex and dynamic cellular process during which epithelial cells lose their polarity and cell adhesion capabilities and subsequently express mesenchymal stem cel...

IntroductionPennycress (Thlaspi arvense L.) is an emerging intermediate oilseed crop grown in the offseason between primary summer crops to produce three cash crops in two years. Previous efforts to improve seed oil qual...

Deficiency of adenosine deaminase 2 (DADA2) was identified in 2014 as a novel inborn error of immunity caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in ADA2. DADA2 patients express two predominant clinical phenotypes: (1) auto...

Abstract Background Endothelial cells (ECs) orchestrate vascular homeostasis and resilience but can undergo reprogramming into a mesenchymal-like phenotype through an endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT). Crucia...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of primary and secondary pathological events that culminate in the formation of glial and fibrotic scars, which constitute a major barrier to axonal regeneration and functional...

Children with epilepsy frequently experience a range of significant comorbidities beyond seizures, such as motor dysfunction, cognitive impairment, and neurodevelopmental delays. In some cases, these comorbidities contri...

Abstract The maintenance of human embryonic stem cell (hESC) self-renewal and pluripotency is governed by distinct signaling pathways, yet endogenous pluripotency-supporting pathways remain understudied despite extensive...

Meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity and manipulation of its frequency and distribution holds great promise in crop breeding. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FANCM (a homolog of mammalian Fanconi anemia complementa...
