Distinct Shifts in Microbiota Composition during Drosophila Aging Impair Intestinal Function and Drive Mortality

Alterations in the composition of the intestinal microbiota have been correlated with aging and measures of frailty in the elderly. However, the relationships between microbial dynamics, age-related changes in intestinal physiology, and org...

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...

Ontologies for molecular biology.

Molecular biology has a communication problem. There are many databases using their own labels and categories for storing data objects and some using identical labels and categories but with a different meaning. A prominent example is the c...

Transcriptome analysis of Crossostephium chinensis provides insight into the molecular basis of salinity stress responses.

Soil salinization is becoming a limitation to the utilization of ornamental plants worldwide. Crossostephium chinensis (Linnaeus) Makino is often cultivated along the southeast coast of China for its desirable ornamental qualities and high ...

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF THE MYCOBACTERIA

The molecular biology of the mycobacteria is poised at the threshold of making major contributions to the understanding of the biochemistry and pathogenic mechanisms involved in mycobacterial infections.The application of molecular biology ...

Graphs in molecular biology

Graph theoretical concepts are useful for the description and analysis of interactions and relationships in biological systems. We give a brief introduction into some of the concepts and their areas of application in molecular biology. We d...

MOLECULAR BIOLOGY OF MYCOPLASMAS

Although mycoplasmas lack cell walls, they are in many respects similar to the gram-positive bacteria with which they share a common ancestor. The molecular biology of mycoplasmas is intriguing because the chromosome is uniquely small (< 60...

Transgenerational inheritance of ethanol preference is caused by maternal NPF repression

Rapid or even anticipatory adaptation to environmental conditions can provide a decisive fitness advantage to an organism. The memory of recurring conditions could also benefit future generations; however, neuronally-encoded behavior isn’t ...

Molecular Biology of the Gene

The long-awaited Fifth Edition of James D. Watson's classic text, Molecular Biology of the Gene, has been thoroughly revised and is published to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Watson and Crick's paper on the structure of the DNA doub...

Molecular Biology of the Cell

For nearly a quarter century Molecular Biology of the Cell has been the leading cell biology textbook. This tradition continues with the new Fifth Edition, which has been completely revised and updated to describe our current, rapidly advan...

The evolution of molecular biology into systems biology

Molecular Biology of the Cell

As the amount of information in biology expands dramatically, it becomes increasingly important for textbooks to distill the vast amount of scientific knowledge into concise principles and enduring concepts.As with previous editions, Molecu...

Long-range spectral entanglement and quantum correlations in highly nondegenerate multi-comb and ultrafast systems.

Targeting Inflammation With Nanosized Drug Delivery Platforms in Cardiovascular Diseases: Immune Cell Modulation in Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disorder of large and medium-sized arteries; it consists in the formation of lipid-rich plaques in the intima and inner media, whose pathophysiology is mostly driven by inflammation. Currently available interventio...

Externally triggered drug delivery systems

Externally triggered drug delivery systems empower patients or healthcare providers to utilize external stimuli to initiate drug release from implanted systems. This approach holds significant potential for clinical disease management, offe...

Nanotechnology and medicine

Nanotechnology, or systems/device manufacture at the molecular level, is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. The genesis of nanotechnology can be traced to the promise of revolutionary advances across medi...

A Review of Power System Fault Diagnosis with Spiking Neural P Systems

With the advancement of technologies it is becoming imperative to have a stable, secure and uninterrupted supply of power to electronic systems as well as to ensure the identification of faults occurring in these systems quickly and efficie...

Multi-regional energy sharing approach for shared energy storage and local renewable energy resources considering efficiency optimization

As distributed photovoltaic and shared energy storage systems expanded on the user side, developing an energy-sharing mechanism across different regions became crucial for fully utilizing local renewable energy resources and maximizing the ...

Aurelia: Dynamic asynchronous BFT with bandwidth-efficient bootstrapping

Dynamic asynchronous Byzantine Fault-Tolerant (BFT) protocols provide strong consistency guarantees in open networks with unbounded communication delays and evolving membership, making them a fundamental building block for long-lived distri...
