Living different lives: Early social differentiation identified through linking mortuary and isotopic variability in Late Neolithic/ Early Chalcolithic north-central Spain
(Public Library Science, 2017-09-27)
Variation in burial location and treatment is often observed in the prehistoric archaeological record, but its interpretation is usually highly ambiguous. Biomolecular approaches provide the means of addressing this ...
Putative Role of Respiratory Muscle Training to Improve Endurance Performance in Hypoxia: A Review
(Frontiers Media, 2019-01-15)
Respiratory/inspiratory muscle training (RMT/IMT) has been proposed to improve the endurance performance of athletes in normoxia. In recent years, due to the increased use of hypoxic training method among athletes, the RMT ...
Study of the Genetic Etiology of Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: FMR1 Gene
(MDPI, 2016-12-13)
Menopause is a period of women's life characterized by the cessation of menses in a definitive way. The mean age for menopause is approximately 51 years. Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) refers to ovarian dysfunction ...
Disease-Associated SNPs in Inflammation-Related lncRNAs
(Frontiers Media, 2019-03-08)
Immune-mediated diseases, such as celiac disease, type 1 diabetes or multiple sclerosis, are a clinically heterogeneous group of diseases that share many key genetic triggers. Although the pathogenic mechanisms responsible ...
High Expression of Endogenous Retroviral Envelope Gene in the Equine Fetal Part of the Placenta
(Public Library Science, 2016-05-13)
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are proviral phases of exogenous retroviruses that have co-evolved with vertebrate genomes for millions of years. Previous studies have identified the envelope (env) protein genes of retroviral ...
The Y-chromosome of the Soliga, an ancient forest-dwelling tribe of South India
(Elsevier, 2020)
A previous autosomal STR study provided evidence of a connection between the ancient Soliga tribe at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent and Australian aboriginal populations, possibly reflecting an eastbound coastal ...
Detection of Atomic Scale Changes in the Free Volume Void Size of Three-Dimensional Colorectal Cancer Cell Culture Using Positron Annihilation Lifetime Spectroscopy
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01-02)
Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) provides a direct measurement of the free volume void sizes in polymers and biological systems. This free volume is critical in explaining and understanding physical and ...
Evaluation of Suppressed Mite Reproduction (SMR) Reveals Potential for Varroa Resistance in European Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)
(MDPI, 2020-09-03)
In the fight against the Varroa destructor mite, selective breeding of honey bee (Apis mellifera L.) populations that are resistant to the parasitic mite stands as a sustainable solution. Selection initiatives indicate ...
Foreword Special Issue Cell Cycle and Regulation
(MDPI, 2020-02-27)
The process of cell division is critical to the growth and development of an organism. As a fertilized egg develops into a mature organism, tissues undergo cellular renewal or commit to terminal differentiation and leave ...
Doxorubicin-induced DNA Damage Causes Extensive Ubiquitination of Ribosomal Proteins Associated with a Decrease in Protein Translation
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2018-12)
Protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs) play a central role in the DNA damage response. In particular, protein phosphorylation and ubiquitination have been shown to be essential in the signaling cascade that coordinates ...
