Genetic variants in the PIWI-piRNA pathway gene DCP1A predict melanoma disease-specific survival [PDF]
The Piwi-piRNA pathway is important for germ cell maintenance, genome integrity, DNA methylation and retrotransposon control and thus may be involved in cancer development.

Reconstructing prehistoric demography: What role for extant hunter‐gatherers?
Abstract Demography is central to biological, behavioral, and cultural evolution. Knowledge of the demography of prehistoric populations of both Homo sapiens and earlier members of the genus Homo is, therefore, key to the study of human evolution.

Accidentally reversing the lanthanide‐binding sequences of lanmodulin‐inspired short peptides lead to the serendipitous discovery of a set of peptides with a one order of magnitude higher lanthanide‐binding affinity than the uncapped peptides synthesised in the correct direction.

Maximizing sum rate and minimizing MSE on multiuser downlink: Optimality, fast algorithms and equivalence via max-min SIR [PDF]
Maximizing the minimum weighted SIR, minimizing the weighted sum MSE and maximizing the weighted sum rate in a multiuser downlink system are three important performance objectives in joint transceiver and power optimization, where all the users have a ...

Genetic disorders and male infertility
Abstract Background At present, one out of six couples is infertile, and in 50% of cases, infertility is attributed to male infertility factors. Genetic abnormalities are found in 10%‐20% of patients showing severe spermatogenesis disorders, including non‐obstructive azoospermia.

Our study evaluated the cumulative evidence of significant associations between SNPs in miRNA or biosynthesis genes and lung cancer (LC) risk by combining Venice Criteria and false‐positive report probability test. Two variants with four associations were rated as demonstrating strong evidence with risk of LC, three associations were moderate, and ...

PIWI expression and function in cancer
PIWI proteins, a subclade of the Argonaute family proteins, are expressed predominantly in the germline and bind to PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs), which are 25-31 nucleotides in length. The PIWI/piRNA pathway plays critical roles in germline development

Direct Differentiation of Human Pluripotent Stem Cells into Haploid Spermatogenic Cells
Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) have been shown to differentiate into primordial germ cells (PGCs) but not into spermatogonia, haploid spermatocytes, or spermatids.

Suppression of Hiwi inhibits the growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cervical cancer cells. [PDF]
Cervical cancer is a common gynecological malignancy. Hiwi exhibits a high level of expression in cervical cancer cells. However, the effects of Hiwi expression in cervical cancer cells remain unresolved. In the present study, the effects of Hiwi downregulation on the growth and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of cervical cancer cells were ...

On the Capacity Region of Multi-Antenna Gaussian Broadcast Channels with Estimation Error [PDF]
In this paper we consider the effect of channel estimation error on the capacity region of MIMO Gaussian broadcast channels. It is assumed that the receivers and the transmitter have (the same) estimates of the channel coefficients (i.e., the feedback ...
