Phenotyping the Microcirculation [PDF]

Hypertension, 2012
The role of the microcirculation is increasingly being recognized in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.1,2 The microcirculation is a major site of damage in most target organs of cardiovascular disease, such as the heart, brain, and kidney. Both functional and structural alterations in the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries are the

Deficiency of protocadherin 9 leads to reduction in positive emotional behaviour

Scientific Reports, 2022
Protocadherin 9 (Pcdh9) is a member of the cadherin superfamily and is uniquely expressed in the vestibular and limbic systems; however, its physiological role remains unclear.

Rapid, early, and potent Spike-directed IgG, IgM, and IgA distinguish asymptomatic from mildly symptomatic COVID-19 in Uganda, with IgG persisting for 28 months

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionUnderstanding how spike (S)-, nucleoprotein (N)-, and RBD-directed antibody responses evolved in mild and asymptomatic COVID-19 in Africa and their interactions with SARS-CoV-2 might inform development of targeted treatments and vaccines ...

The Phenotyping Dilemma—The Challenges of a Diversified Phenotyping Community [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
In the past decade, large investments have been made for plant phenotyping in terms of funding, research hours, and high-tech installations in Europe, Australia, North America and Asia. The number of actors in phenotyping has increased rapidly and the focus has gradually shifted from basic to strategic crop research linked to classic agricultural ...

Entropic contribution to phenotype fitness [PDF]

, 2023
All possible phenotypes are not equally accessible to evolving populations. In fact, only phenotypes of large size, i.e. those resulting from many different genotypes, are found in populations of sequences, presumably because they are easier to discover and maintain. Genotypes that map to these phenotypes usually form mostly connected genotype networks

Breastfeeding and Respiratory Infections in the First 6 Months of Life: A Case Control Study

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019
Background: Viral respiratory tract infections (VRI) are a major reason for hospitalization in children younger than 5 years. A case control study was conducted to investigate the potential role of breastfeeding in protecting children <1 year of age ...

Asthma phenotypes [PDF]

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2009
The many roads leading to the syndrome of asthma have proven to be intricately interconnected. The chronic inflammation of asthma is characterized by airway hyperreactivity and variable reversibility. Past classification systems relied on assessment of daily impairment and the distinction between intrinsic (nonallergic) and extrinsic (allergic).

Genetics and Plasticity Are Responsible for Ecogeographical Patterns in a Recent Invasion

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Patterns of covariation between phenotype and environment are presumed to be reflective of local adaptation, and therefore translate to a meaningful influence on an individual’s overall fitness within that specific environment.

Variable Effects of PD-Risk Associated SNPs and Variants in Parkinsonism-Associated Genes on Disease Phenotype in a Community-Based Cohort

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) risk and progression have been identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), as well as studies of familial forms of PD, implicating common variants at more than 90 loci and pathogenic or likely
