Tau protein can transfer between neurons transneuronally and trans-synaptically, which is
thought to explain the progressive spread of tauopathy observed in the brain of patients with …

Little is known regarding the early aspects of ovarian carcinogenesis. As a consequence,
the identification of women at risk for the disease is based primarily on clinical grounds, with …

Germline BRCA1 mutations predispose to breast cancer. To identify genetic modifiers of this
risk, we performed a genome-wide association study in 1,193 individuals with BRCA1 …

Phenotypic diversity within cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is particularly evident
for fruit shape and size. Four genes that control tomato fruit shape have been cloned. SUN …

Although human perception of food flavors involves integration of multiple sensory inputs,
the most salient sensations are taste and olfaction [1]. Ortho- and retronasal olfaction are …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 12 epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC)
susceptibility alleles. The pattern of association at these loci is consistent in BRCA1 and …

The earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are characterized by the formation of mature
tangles in the entorhinal cortex and disorientation and confusion when navigating familiar …

Objective: The apoptosis pathway is a vital mechanism in vivo that functions to eradicate
genetically damaged cells prone to malignancy. The purpose of this study was to determine …

The known breast cancer susceptibility polymorphisms in FGFR2, TNRC9/TOX3, MAP3K1,
LSP1, and 2q35 confer increased risks of breast cancer for BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation …

The invasive pest Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) causes serious
economic damage in several soft fruit crops. This study aimed (1) to identify naturally …
