Flatworms have lost the right open reading frame kinase 3 gene during evolution [PDF]
All multicellular organisms studied to date have three right open reading frame kinase genes (designated riok-1, riok-2 and riok-3). Current evidence indicates that riok-1 and riok-2 have essential roles in ribosome biosynthesis, and that the riok-3 gene

What's new? This study quantified the cancer burden attributable to modifiable risk factors in Guangdong, the most populous and economically advanced province in southern China. By evaluating 15 modifiable risk factors, the study reveals that over one‐third of cancer cases and two‐fifths of cancer deaths in the region could potentially be prevented ...

Graded Calorie Restriction Causes Graded Slowing of Epigenetic Ageing in Mice
Graded calorie restriction in male mice modified epigenetic signatures of the liver and slowed ageing rate in a graded manner. ABSTRACT DNA methylation variation is associated with chronological ageing. Calorie restriction (CR) prolongs lifespan and healthspan in many species.

Liver diseases constitute a major global health burden, contributing substantially to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although effective therapeutic strategies have been developed for key risk factors, such as hepatitis C infection, therapeutic options for most other liver diseases remain limited.

Excretory/secretory products from parasites (ESPs) can act as pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to activate innate immunity. Parasites may achieve immune evasion by modulating the interaction between PAMPs and the nucleotide-binding ...

Mitochondrial and nuclear ribosomal DNA dataset supports that Paramphistomum leydeni (Trematoda: Digenea) is a distinct rumen fluke species [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Rumen flukes parasitize the rumen and reticulum of ruminants, causing paramphistomiasis. Over the years, there has been considerable debate as to whether Paramphistomum leydeni and Paramphistomum cervi are the same or distant species. METHODS:

Molecular cloning and characterization of growth factor receptor bound-protein in Clonorchis sinensis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Clonorchis sinensis causes clonorchiasis, a potentially serious disease. Growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2) is a cytosolic protein conserved among animals and plays roles in cellular functions such as meiosis, organogenesis and ...
