Research published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health has shed light on the potential impact of prenatal pesticide exposure on child neurodevelopment. The study, conducted on a cohort of pregnant farmworkers from Thailand, aimed to investigate the relationship between urinary metabolites of pyrethroid pesticides, placental gene expression
Genetic research
Researchers at Jiangsu Ocean University conducted a study on a strain of Pseudomonas putida, denoted as DY16, and found that it causes severe damage and induces apoptosis in the gills, intestines, spleen, and liver of turbot. The study analyzed the morphological, physicochemical, and genomic characteristics of the bacteria and their
Genetic research
Scientists at the Max-Planck-Institute for Evolutionary Biology have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of life sciences and genome biology. According to a new study, most RNA-seq datasets exhibit genes with extreme expression levels in certain samples, which are often removed from analysis due to being considered technical errors.
Genetic research
Research conducted by National Chung Cheng University in collaboration with the National Science and Technology Council of Republic of China has shed light on the link between obesity and cancer risk. The study, published in Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, found that high body mass index (BMI) is associated with an increased
Genetic research
Researchers from the University of Texas Arlington have made a breakthrough in developing a machine learning model to classify and characterize gene expression patterns in two common coral diseases, stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) and white plague (WP). By identifying 463 gene expression biomarkers, the study provides a preliminary
Genes
Researchers at the University of Manchester have published new findings on the area of bladder cancer, specifically focusing on the expression of genes in bladder cancer cells exposed to hypoxia. The study, published in Cancers, aimed to identify biomarkers for disease progression and prognosis among differentially expressed bladder cancer genes.
Genetic research
Researchers from the University of Jordan in Amman, Jordan, have conducted a study to evaluate the effect of varying hammer mill speeds on growth performance, pellet quality, and gene expression in broiler chickens. The study, published in Veterinary World, found that reducing hammer mill speed to 75% optimized broiler growth
Genes
New research conducted by Kyushu University has shed light on the relationship between luteal blood flow and progesterone biosynthesis in the corpus luteum, a critical aspect of bovine fertility. The study found that while luteal blood flow affects endometrial gene expression, it does not change plasma or endometrial progesterone concentrations.
Genetic research
A recent study published in Experimental & Molecular Medicine details the pivotal role of RNA modifications in regulating gene expression, particularly in cancer. Researchers from Seoul National University College of Medicine profiled 76 RNA modification-associated genes across nine distinct types of modifications in four cancer types, revealing significant insights into
Genes
Researchers from Wenzhou Medical University in Zhejiang, People's Republic of China, have identified seven genes associated with antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) that may serve as prognostic biomarkers for colon cancer. The study, published in Clinical Proteomics, used gene expression profiles and clinical data from the Cancer Genome Atlas
Genes
Researchers at Hofstra University, led by Kevin Tompkins, have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of biology. The study, published in microPublication Biology, examines the expression of the OY1 gene in Zea mays, a type of maize, during vegetative development. The team used Uniform insertion lines to investigate how
Genetic research
Researchers at Skidmore College have identified key genes and therapeutic targets in type 2 diabetes by exploring the intersection of macrophage-specific gene expression and abnormal blood monovalent inorganic cation concentration-related genes. The study used single-cell RNA sequencing and machine learning to analyze pancreatic islet cells from nondiabetic and type 2
