Quantum Chemistry in the Age of Quantum Computing

Practical challenges in simulating quantum systems on classical computers have been widely recognized in the quantum physics and quantum chemistry communities over the past century. Although many approximation methods have been introduced, ...

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. ...

Respiratory fungal colonization in hospitalized patients in western Iran: species distribution and antifungal susceptibility patterns.

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

How long can suction drains be safely retained after surgery for musculoskeletal malignant tumors?

Submicroscopic malaria parasite carriage and hemoglobin levels among outpatients attending the laboratories of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.

Macrophage-derived IL-1β drives endothelial-mesenchymal transition in diabetes mellitus erectile dysfunction.

SEC22B modulates ClC-5/TMEM9 trafficking and serves as a urinary marker for Dent's Disease.

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...

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...

Fyn Kinase: A Potential Target in Glucolipid Metabolism and Diabetes Mellitus

Fyn is widely involved in diverse cellular physiological processes, including cell growth and survival, and has been implicated in the regulation of energy metabolism and the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus through multiple pathways. Fyn ...

Challenges in myeloperoxidase quantification: the inadequacies of current colorimetric approaches

Development and characterization of 3D spinal cord organoids to advance the study of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Confined migration induces heterochromatin formation and alters chromatin accessibility

Summary: During migration, cells often squeeze through small constrictions, requiring extensive deformation. We hypothesized that nuclear deformation associated with such confined migration could alter chromatin organization and function. B...

Carbon Catabolite Repression in Filamentous Fungi Is Regulated by Phosphorylation of the Transcription Factor CreA

In filamentous fungi, the transcription factor CreA controls carbohydrate metabolism through the regulation of genes encoding enzymes required for the use of alternative carbon sources. In this work, phosphorylation sites were identified on...

RNA biology of disease-associated microsatellite repeat expansions

Abstract Microsatellites, or simple tandem repeat sequences, occur naturally in the human genome and have important roles in genome evolution and function. However, the expansion of microsatellites is associated with over two dozen neurolog...

The human lung microbiome progressively diminishes in the distal alveolar regions

Abstract Extensive investigations with sequencing methods demonstrate a large and diverse microbiome even in profound areas of the lung. However, there is still substantial lack of cultivation-based evidence and of the viability of the resi...

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests. We suggest that these ...
