Symptoms of Allergic Rhinitis in Women during Early Pregnancy Are Associated with Higher Prevalence of Allergic Rhinitis in Their Offspring

Background: Epigenetic control of gene expression profiles is a ubiquitous mechanism during cell differentiation, organogenesis and chronic inflammatory reactions. Recent studies have shown that allergen exposure during very early pregnancy...

Cascading Training Model to Promote Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment Across South Africa: Rollout in an HIV Service Organization

Background In South Africa, rates of HIV and alcohol use are among the highest globally, with a detrimental synergistic relationship. Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) is an evidence-based, cost-effective appr...

Assumption-free estimation of heritability from genome-wide identity-by-descent sharing between full siblings.

The study of continuously varying, quantitative traits is important in evolutionary biology, agriculture, and medicine. Variation in such traits is attributable to many, possibly interacting, genes whose expression may be sensitive to the e...

Background Breast cancer is considered a health problem at a worldwide level. In Brazil, the South and Southeast regions have the highest mortality rates. Understanding how they dealt with the diagnostic of a stigmatized disease amid the CO...

Chemosensory-Related Genes in Marine Copepods

Living organisms deeply rely on the acquisition of chemical signals in any aspect of their life, from searching for food, mating and defending themselves from stressors. Copepods, the most abundant and ubiquitous metazoans on Earth, possess...

The Role of Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinases in Plant Homeostasis

The p70 ribosomal S6 kinase (S6K) family is a group of highly conserved kinases in eukaryotes that regulates cell growth, cell proliferation, and stress response via modulating protein synthesis and ribosomal biogenesis. S6Ks are downstream...

Patterns of compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures in Armenia: results from a cross-sectional survey

Abstract While numerous studies have explored adherence to individual COVID-19 preventive behaviors and their predictors, their combinations and clustering have been less frequently investigated. We explored the patterns and socio-demograph...

The SKP1-like gene family of Arabidopsis exhibits a high degree of differential gene expression and gene product interaction during development.

The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes several families of polypeptides that are known or predicted to participate in the formation of the SCF-class of E3-ubiquitin ligase complexes. One such gene family encodes the Skp1-like class of poly...
