Hundreds of tRNA genes and pseudogenes are encoded by the human genome.tRNAs are the second acure face lotion most abundant type of RNA in the cell.Advancement in deep-sequencing technologies have revealed the presence of abundant expression of functional tRNA-derived RNA fragments (tRFs).They are either generated from precursor (pre-)tRNA or matur
Abstract The cytoskeletal protein actin plays a critical role in the pathogenicity of the intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, mediating invasion and egress, cargo transport, and organelle inheritance.Advances in live cell imaging have revealed extensive filamentous actin networks in the Apicomplexan parasite, but there are conflicting data r
Range expansions may create a unique spatial genetic pattern characterized by alternate genetically homogeneous domains and allele frequency clines.Previous attempts to model range expansions have mainly focused on the loss of genetic diversity during expansions.Using individual-based models, we examined spatial genetic patterns under two expansion
Abstract Background Resistin, secreted from adipocytes, causes insulin resistance in mice.The relationship between resistin and coronary artery disease is highly controversial, and the information regarding resistin and ischemic stroke is limited.In the present study, the association between serum resistin concentration and cardiovascular disease (
Methods summarized by the term Traction Force Microscopy are widely used to quantify cellular forces in mechanobiological studies.These methods are inverse, in the sense that forces must be determined such that they comply with a measured displacement field.This study investigates how several experimental and analytical factors, originating in the
