Classification of Transcription Boundary-Associated RNAs (TBARs) in Animals and Plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2018
There is increasing evidence suggesting the contribution of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) to the phenotypic and physiological complexity of organisms. A novel ncRNA species has been identified near the transcription boundaries of protein-coding genes in eukaryotes, bacteria, and archaea.

Biomarkers for the estimation of isoproterenol‐induced myocardial infarction: A review of key parameters

Journal of Intelligent Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract The isoproterenol‐induced myocardial infarction model is a well‐established experimental approach for studying cardiac injury and testing potential protective treatments. By overstimulating beta‐adrenergic receptors, this model closely reproduces key features of human heart attacks, including oxidative damage, calcium imbalance, inflammatory ...
