New Insight about of microRNAs & short interfering RNA in Treatment of COVID-19; a Narrative Review
Since 31 December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) resulted in a state of hyperinflammation syndrome and multiorgan failure. In areas with pandemic outbreaks, despite several emerging vaccines, supportive treatments to mitigate fatality ...

Hepatitis C virus 3'UTR regulates viral translation through direct interactions with the host translation machinery. [PDF]
The 3' untranslated region (3'UTR) of hepatitis C virus (HCV) messenger RNA stimulates viral translation by an undetermined mechanism. We identified a high affinity interaction, conserved among different HCV genotypes, between the HCV 3'UTR and the host ...

RiboPlotR: a visualization tool for periodic Ribo-seq reads
Background Ribo-seq has revolutionized the study of genome-wide mRNA translation. High-quality Ribo-seq data display strong 3-nucleotide (nt) periodicity, which corresponds to translating ribosomes deciphering three nts at a time.

Alternative sigma factor sigmaH modulates prophage integration and excision in Staphylococcus aureus. [PDF]
The prophage is one of the most important components of variable regions in bacterial genomes. Some prophages carry additional genes that may enhance the toxicity and survival ability of their host bacteria.

High-Level Expression of Various Apolipoprotein (a) Isoforms by "Transferrinfection". The Role of Kringle IV Sequences in the Extracellular Association with Low-Density Lipoprotein [PDF]
Characterization of the assembly of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is of fundamental importance to understanding the biosynthesis and metabolism of this atherogenic lipoprotein. Since no established cell lines exist that express Lp(a) or apolipoprotein(a) [apo(a)

DNA methylation at the DAT promoter and risk for psychopathology. Intergenerational transmission between school-age youths and their parents in a community sample [PDF]
Background: The effect of gene polymorphisms and promoter methylation, associated with maladaptive developmental outcomes, vary depending on environmental factors (e.g., parental psychopathology).
