DIFFERENTIAL TELOMERE SHORTENING IN BLOOD VERSUS ARTERIES IN AN ANIMAL MODEL OF TYPE 2 DIABETES


Xanthomonas infection and ozone stress distinctly influence the microbial community structure and interactions in the pepper phyllosphere

Abstract While the physiological and transcriptional response of the host to biotic and abiotic stresses have been intensely studied, little is known about the resilience of associated microbiomes and their contribution towards tolerance or response to these stresses.We evaluated the impact of elevated tropospheric ozone (O3), individually and in c

Time discrimination and change detection could share a common brain network: findings of a task-based fMRI study

IntroductionOver the past few years, several studies have described the brain activation pattern related to both time discrimination (TD) and change detection processes.We hypothesize that both processes share a common brain network which may play a significant role in more complex cognitive processes.The main goal of this proof-of-concept study is

Do consanguineous parents of a child affected by an autosomal recessive disease have more DNA identical-by-descent than similarly-related parents with healthy offspring? Design of a case-control study

Abstract Background The offspring of consanguineous relations have an increased risk of congenital/genetic disorders and early mortality.Consanguineous couples and their offspring account for approximately 10% of the global population.The increased risk for congenital/genetic disorders is most marked for autosomal recessive disorders and depends on
