Amplified biochemical oscillations in cellular systems
We describe a mechanism for pronounced biochemical oscillations, relevant to microscopic systems, such as the intracellular environment. This mechanism operates for reaction schemes which, when modeled using deterministic rate equations, fail to exhibit ...

Fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of the hTERC region in acute myeloid leukemia patients
OBJECTIVE: The telomerase RNA component (hTERC) gene is located at 3q26. Increased hTERC gene expression has been frequently observed and amplification was shown using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in different cancers.

Taxonomy of anaerobic digestion microbiome reveals biases associated with the applied high throughput sequencing strategies [PDF]
In the past few years, many studies investigated the anaerobic digestion microbiome by means of 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. Results obtained from these studies were compared to each other without taking into consideration the followed procedure for ...

Fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling in hereditary and neoplastic disease: biologic and clinical implications. [PDF]
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors (FGFRs) are transmembrane growth factor receptors with wide tissue distribution. FGF/FGFR signaling is involved in neoplastic behavior and also development, differentiation, growth, and survival.

Development of a recombinase polymerase amplification lateral flow assay for the detection of active Trypanosoma evansi infections [PDF]
Author summary Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affecting humans and/or domestic animals severely impair the socio-economic development of endemic areas. One of these diseases, animal trypanosomosis, affects livestock and is caused by the parasites of
