The influence functional in open holography: entanglement and Rényi entropies

Abstract Open quantum systems are defined as ordinary unitary quantum theories coupled to a set of external degrees of freedom, which are introduced to take on the rôle of an unobserved environment. Here we study examples of open quantum fi...

Nonclassicality and Coherent Error Detection via Pseudo-Entropy

Pseudo-entropy is a complex-valued generalization of entanglement entropy defined on non-Hermitian transition operators and induced by post-selection. We present a simulation-based protocol for detecting nonclassicality and coherent errors ...

Quantum computing

The subject of quantum computing brings together ideas from classical information theory, computer science, and quantum physics. This review aims to summarize not just quantum computing, but the whole subject of quantum information theory. ...

The effect of the delivery mode on the total antioxidant activity, oxidative stress, and serum bilirubin level in G6PD-deficient male newborn infants.

CircUCK2(2,3) promotes cancer progression and enhances synergistic cytotoxicity of lenvatinib with EGFR inhibitors via activating CNIH4–TGFα–EGFR signaling

Abstract Background Circular (circ)RNAs have emerged as crucial contributors to cancer progression. Nonetheless, the expression regulation, biological functions, and underlying mechanisms of circRNAs in mediating hepatocellular carcinoma (H...

AMPA-Type Glutamate Receptors Associated With Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Subpopulations in Atherosclerosis and Vascular Injury

Objectives and Aims: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are key constituents of both normal arteries and atherosclerotic plaques. They have an ability to adapt to changes in the local environment by undergoing phenotypic modulation. An im...

Molecular monitoring of insecticide resistance in major disease vectors in Armenia

Abstract Background Armenia is considered particularly vulnerable to life-threatening vector-borne diseases (VBDs) including malaria, West Nile virus disease and leishmaniasis. However, information relevant for the control of the vectors of...

Molecular Biology of Osmoregulation

The drought of 1983 resulted in some 10 billion dollars in agricultural losses and has focused attention on the vulnerability of our major crops to this devastating form of environmental stress. This article is concerned with the molecular ...

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

USP1-trapping lesions as a source of DNA replication stress and genomic instability

Here the authors provide mechanistic insights into how auto-cleavage of the USP1 deubiquitinase regulates DNA replication and genome stability. Implications for the targeting of USP1 activity via protein-DNA trapping in cancer therapy are d...

P2′ Site Scanning of Snake Kunitz-Type Toxin Analogue BF9-N17H with Unique P1 Site Histidine Highlights Novel XIa Inhibitory Peptides Without Plasmin Inhibitory Activity

Kunitz-type peptides from venomous and blood-sucking animals represent an important natural molecular resource for anticoagulant development towards XIa, a new target for antithrombotic drug discovery. However, the plasmin-inhibitory activi...

Health and Cellular Impacts of Air Pollutants: From Cytoprotection to Cytotoxicity

Air pollution as one of the ravages of our modern societies is primarily linked to urban centers, industrial activities, or road traffic. These atmospheric pollutants have been incriminated in deleterious health effects by numerous epidemio...

A maladaptive ER stress response triggers dysfunction in highly active muscles of mice with SELENON loss

Selenoprotein N (SELENON) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein whose loss of function leads to human SELENON-related myopathies. SelenoN knockout (KO) mouse limb muscles, however, are protected from the disease, and display no major alt...

Unraveling genetic diversity in ‘Foşa’ and ‘Yomra’ hazelnut accessions (Corylus avellana L.) using SSR markers and phenotypic analysis

Abstract The Foşa hazelnut variety is commonly cultivated in Türkiye and is often confused with the Yomra variety due to morphological similarities. This study aims to determine the phenological and pomological characteristics of the Foşa a...

Challenges in community-based recruitment of Alzheimer's disease cases: Experience of the monitoring drug efficacy through multi-omics research initiative in Alzheimer's disease (MEMORI-AD) study

Background The Monitoring drug Efficacy through Multi-Omics Research Initiative in Alzheimer's Disease (MEMORI-AD) study aims to characterize drug response to donepezil and memantine in a Filipino cohort with late-onset Alzheimer's disease ...

High helminthic co-infection in tuberculosis patients with undernutritional status in northeastern Ethiopia

Abstract Background Tuberculosis and parasitosis are the widely distributed diseases in Ethiopia with the leading cause of mortality and morbidity, respectively. There has been no information on the status of co-infections of tuberculosis a...

Real time, in vivo measurement of neuronal and peripheral clocks in Drosophila melanogaster

Circadian clocks are highly conserved transcriptional regulators that control ~24 hr oscillations in gene expression, physiological function, and behavior. Circadian clocks exist in almost every tissue and are thought to control tissue-spec...

Glycosylation of Epigallocatechin Gallate by Engineered Glycoside Hydrolases from <i>Talaromyces amestolkiae</i>: Potential Antiproliferative and Neuroprotective Effect of These Molecules

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds, but some of them can also catalyze the synthesis of glycosides by transglycosylation. However, the yields of this reaction are generally low since the glycosides formed...

The triad interaction of ULK1, ATG13, and FIP200 is required for ULK complex formation and autophagy

In mammals, autophagosome formation, a central event in autophagy, is initiated by the ULK complex comprising ULK1/2, FIP200, ATG13, and ATG101. However, the structural basis and mechanism underlying the ULK complex assembly have yet to be ...
