Silencing of juvenile hormone‐related genes through RNA interference leads to molt failure and high mortality in the spongy moth

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The feasibility of using RNA interference to control the globally important quarantine pest, the spongy moth. Targeting genes related to JHs play an important role in the growth and development of insects. First, the open reading frames (ORFs) of Ldjhamt and Ldjheh were identified and characterized, and the target genes were cloned and double‐stranded ...

Trustworthy pneumonia detection in chest X-ray imaging through attention-guided deep learning

Scientific Reports
Pneumonia remains a significant global health threat, especially among children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals. Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is commonly used for diagnosis, but manual interpretation is prone to errors and variability.

Efficient Dual Domain Decoding of Linear Block Codes Using Genetic Algorithms

Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2012
A computationally efficient algorithm for decoding block codes is developed using a genetic algorithm (GA). The proposed algorithm uses the dual code in contrast to the existing genetic decoders in the literature that use the code itself. Hence, this new

Downregulation of EPAS1 and EGLN1 mRNA Expression Associated With High‐Altitude Adaptive Genetic Variants in Sherpa Highlanders

Annals of Human Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Sherpa highlanders exhibit remarkable tolerance to hypoxia, most likely due to genetic adaptations shaped by natural selection at high altitude. This study examined the roles of endothelial PAS domain protein 1 (EPAS1) and egl‐9 family hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 (EGLN1) in the genetic mechanisms underlying this adaptation ...

Low-Dose Total Body Irradiation Can Enhance Systemic Immune Related Response Induced by Hypo-Fractionated Radiation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
A systemic immune related response (SIME) of radiotherapy has been occasionally observed on metastatic tumors, but the clinical outcomes remain poor. Novel treatment approaches are therefore needed to improve SIME ratio.

Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

Comparison of Gallium Cluster Polyhedra with Those of the Most Spherical Deltahedra: Effects of Bulky External Groups and Local Surface Curvature

Inorganics
Experimentally accessible stable polyhedral clusters of gallium differ from clusters of its lighter homologue boron by having sterically demanding external groups such as tBu3Si, (Me3Si)3Si, (Me3Si)3C, (Me3Si)2N, and fluorenyl.
