Genetic factors contribute to some 30% of breast cancer cases in SA, necessitating investment in genomic research in African contexts.

A seminal genetic study published in Nature Communication has discovered two genetic variants…

Even after the COVID-19 pandemic, various new infectious diseases continue to emerge, posing ongoing viral threats that demand robust and sustained immune defenses. However, excessive immune reactions can also harm body tissues,…

An all-wild diet triggers a gut microbial makeover, boosting fiber-degrading bacteria and reshaping the ecosystem in ways that persist even after returning to regular foods.

Study: Consumption of only wild foods induces large…

Tissues consist of a heterogenous mixture of different cell types, complicating our understanding of their biological functions and studies of disease. Now, a multi-institutional team led by The University of Osaka has developed and…

Ddx3x defines the complexity of dendritic arborization in a dosage- and sex-dependent manner

To investigate the influence of sex and Ddx3x allelic dosage on neuronal development, we crossed Ddx3x^+/flox females²⁴ with…

The full-length gel image of the RFLP assay is shown in Fig. 2. In the RFLP analysis of the 221 bp PCR amplified fragment followed by double enzyme digestion, the tested samples with the APOE 2/4 genotype gave the expected diagnostic bands of…

Study design

The aim of this study was to explore a target in T cells that suppressing allograft rejection while maintaining antitumor immunity. The goal was achieved by using Setdb1^f/fCd4-Cre mice; a cardiac allograft rejection model; a chronic…

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most prevalent and severe complications of diabetes mellitus (DM), contributing significantly to increased morbidity and mortality among diabetic patients²⁵. In China, an estimated 92.4 million…
