Recently, it has been shown that oxidative protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) produces potentially significant amounts of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Although ROS accumulation can cause profound ...

Global food production poses one of the greatest challenges for the planet in coming decades, and synthesis of next generation safer pesticides ranks among the important methods in combating this challenge. The vast majority ...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have exciting medical potential, especially those that are genetically modified. Non-viral methods for genetic modification present several advantages over viral methods, and hence, such methods ...

One powerfull tool in understanding how genetic variations can lead to changes in gene expression across human population involves measuring mRNA expression levels in large scale, with high-throughput sequencing. Still, ...

A growing body of evidence suggests that concussions in both adolescents and young adults are often overlooked, underreported, and inadequately treated. Failing to report symptoms associated with a concussion frequently ...

The occurrence of chemicals of natural origin that possess the capacity to mimic the hormonal properties of estrogen has been previously reported in the biomedical literature. From these reports, it is apparent that the ...

Helminth infections are among the top causes of economic loss in the upkeep of small ruminants, and with anthelmintic resistance on the rise, it is vital that rapid and versatile diagnostic tests be developed to better ...

Neonicotinoid pesticides have recently come under fire for their negative impacts on pollinators. However, seed treatments of neonicotinoid compounds such as imidacloprid are regularly applied to over 79% of maize grown ...

The RAS protein is crucial in signaling pathways that regulate cellular proliferation. Tumors can form when this normal growth regulation breaks down due to defects in signaling mechanisms. The Chaos3 mouse model has a ...
