A microRNA Transcriptome-wide Association Study of Prostate Cancer Risk

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Large genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with increased risk of prostate cancer (PrCa), and many of these risk loci is presumed to confer regulatory effects on gene expression.

String Theory: A Framework for Quantum Gravity and Various Applications [PDF]

, 2008
In this semi-technical review we discuss string theory (and all that goes by that name) as a framework for a quantum theory of gravity. This is a new paradigm in theoretical physics that goes beyond relativistic quantum field theory.

Hydrogen Halide Gas Sensors: Active Materials, Operation Principles, and Emerging Technologies

Interdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
This review considers hydrogen halide (HX) gas sensors across functional materials and principles: acoustic, chemical, optical and nanophotonic. The strong acidity and reactivity of HX gases are discussed as constraints for stability and selectivity of these devices.

Integrating transcriptome-wide study and mRNA expression profiles yields novel insights into the biological mechanism of chondropathies

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Chondropathies are a group of cartilage diseases, which share some common pathogenetic features. The etiology of chondropathies is still largely obscure now.

Chronic Low‐Dose Unsymmetrical Dimethylhydrazine Exposure in Rats: Multiorgan Mechanisms and Biomarker Identification

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine (UDMH), a highly toxic rocket propellant with known multiorgan effects, requires urgent characterization of its chronic low‐dose toxicity. Using an integrated approach including exploratory transcriptomics (n = 3/group) and metabolomic (n = 4/group) approaches in male Sprague–Dawley rats exposed to high‐dose ...

Integrative Genomics Reveals Causal Pleiotropy and Therapeutic Opportunities at the Interface of Acute Pancreatitis and Infection

Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Understanding the genetic links between acute pancreatitis (AP) and its infectious comorbidities is crucial for prognosis and therapy, yet remains underexplored. Methods We conducted a comprehensive post‐GWAS analysis using large‐scale summary statistics for AP and 16 infectious diseases. To pinpoint pleiotropic genes, we integrated

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.
