Elevated intracellular cAMP exacerbates vulnerability to oxidative stress in optic nerve head astrocytes. [PDF]
Glaucoma is characterized by a progressive loss of retinal ganglion cells and their axons, but the underlying biological basis for the accompanying neurodegeneration is not known.

Host candidate gene polymorphisms and clearance of drug-resistant parasites [PDF]
Resistance to anti-malarial drugs is a widespread problem for control programmes for this devastating disease. Molecular tests are available for many anti-malarial drugs and are useful tools for the surveillance of drug resistance.

Statistical data mining for symbol associations in genomic databases
A methodology is proposed to automatically detect significant symbol associations in genomic databases. A new statistical test is proposed to assess the significance of a group of symbols when found in several genesets of a given database.

Coxiella burnetii and Leishmania Mexicana Residing Within Similar Parasitophorous Vacuoles Elicit Disparate Host Responses [PDF]
Coxiella burnetii is a bacterium that thrives in an acidic parasitophorous vacuole (PV) derived from lysosomes. Leishmania mexicana, a eukaryote, has also independently evolved to live in a morphologically similar PV.

Epithelial tumor cells undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to gain metastatic activity. Competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) have binding sites for a common set of microRNAs (miRs) and regulate each other’s expression by sponging miRs. Here,

Investigations of the non-coding region are essential for uncovering the full spectrum of genetic drivers in melanoma. Here, we map distal, non-coding, promoter-interacting regulatory elements using Hi-C data from melanoma cells and integrating these ...

Cyclic AMP signalling pathways in the regulation of uterine relaxation [PDF]
Studying the mechanism(s) of uterine relaxation is important and will be helpful in the prevention of obstetric difficulties such as preterm labour, which remains a major cause of perinatal mortality and morbidity.

DNA methylation in genes of longevity‐regulating pathways: association with obesity and metabolic complications [PDF]
Aging is the main risk factor for most chronic diseases. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation (DNAm) plays a pivotal role in the regulation of physiological responses that can vary along lifespan.
