Abstract Background Preeclampsia (PE), a life-threatening hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, remains poorly characterized at the post-transcriptional regulation level. While alternative splicing (AS) perturbations drive...

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as an alternative for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in treating multiple pulmonary nodules. MethodsA retr...

In recent work – primarily the book Choosing Normative Concepts (2017) – I has presented what I see as a new, significant problem regarding normativity. Briefly, it has to do with the existence of alternative normati...

The purpose of this article is to conceptualise professional football as an alternative investment by focusing on multi-club ownership (MCO) as the central structure through which investors create value and manage risk. ...

ABSTRACT We provide a framework for the implementation of ungrading in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and a case example of ungrading in an advanced laboratory course. Although assessments should...

Alternative livestock production is an important transition away from industrialized livestock production and towards more sustainable systems. However, even in areas well suited to alternative livestock production, non-...

Mainstream media has huge role in constructing reality since it can build majority’s perspective. In some issues, the core encounter to challenge it is forming alternative media to resist the public opinion. This resea...

Gene therapy holds a great potential for treating a variety of human disorders by introducing foreign therapeutic genetic material into target cells using gene carriers (vectors). Most particularly, viral vectors show a ...

Abstract Background Radioresistance remains a major obstacle in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) therapy. This study aimed to elucidate the role of abnormal alternative splicing (AS) and key splicing factors in this p...

Fishmeal has traditionally been a primary protein source in aquafeeds due to its high nutritional quality. However, declining availability and rising costs have driven interest in alternative protein sources. This stud...

Abstract Cartilage and synovium are essential tissues involved in joint-related diseases and traits, including osteoarthritis (OA), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and human height. Although genome-wide association studies (G...

Sustainability efforts are gaining prominence in the over $300 billion U.S. grape and wine industry. Wine packaging can account for up to a third of the total carbon footprint associated with wine production, primarily d...

Consumption of dairy products has declined in recent years in Europe, while plant-based alternatives are gaining market share, driven by health, ethical, and environmental concerns. This study aimed to compare the nutrit...
