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 ...
The Association Between Puberty Timing and Body Mass Index in a Longitudinal Setting: The Contribution of Genetic Factors
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] We analyzed the contribution of genetic factors on the association between puberty timing and body mass index (BMI) using longitudinal data and two approaches: (i) genetic twin design and (ii) polygenic scores (PGS) ...
Prenatal Maternal Smoke, DNA Methylation, and Multi-omics of Tissues and Child Health
(Springer, 2022)
[EN] Purpose of Review Maternal tobacco smoking during pregnancy is of public health concern, and understanding the biological mechanisms can help to promote smoking cessation campaigns. This non-systematic review focuses ...
Traditional and Undulating Periodization on Body Composition, Strength Levels and Physical Fitness in Older Adults
(MDPI, 2022-04)
Introduction: Undulating training has been investigated in sedentary and trained adults, but less is known about the influence of undulating training in older adults. Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate body composition, ...
