To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to
about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a …

We report here genome sequences and comparative analyses of three closely related
parasitoid wasps: Nasonia vitripennis, N. giraulti, and N. longicornis. Parasitoids are important …

Agents that activate expression of specific genes to probe cellular pathways or alleviate
disease would go beyond existing approaches for controlling gene expression. Duplex RNAs …

Alveolar macrophages express many proteins important in iron homeostasis, including the
iron importer divalent metal transport 1 (DMT1) and the iron exporter ferroportin 1 (FPN1) that …

Background Hospital nurses are exposed to various work-related factors that may be associated
with increased risk of developing different mental disorders. Empirical evidence on the …

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Myocardial infarction results
in an irreversible loss of cardiomyocytes with subsequent adverse remodeling and heart …

Aims Vascular cartilaginous metaplasia and calcification are common in patients with
atherosclerosis. However, sources of cells contributing to the development of this complication are …

Mirkovic et al and Nguyen et al independently showed reduced cardiac scarring after treatment …

Aims Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) are major precursors contributing to
osteochondrogenesis and calcification in atherosclerosis. Runt-related transcription factor-2 (Runx2) …

The cellular mechanisms driving cardiac tissue formation remain poorly understood, largely
due to the structural and functional complexity of the heart. It is unclear whether newly …
