Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level and are widely involved in carcinogenesis, playing a role as both oncogenes and tumor suppressors.MiRNAs act as potent therapeutic weapon in cancer, but their potential therapeutic use is limited by the off-target effect due to their nonspecific distribution in normal tis
The hydrodynamic behaviors of sperms in confined spaces (e.g.Poiseuille flow and quiescent flow between two parallel walls) are studied with a two-dimensional self-propelled sperm model based on the immersed boundary-lattice Boltzmann method (IB-LBM).For single-sperm swimming in Poiseuille flow, four typical swimming patterns, including wall-adhesi
The mechanisms by which aging and other processes can affect Collections the structure and function of brain networks are important to understanding normal age-related cognitive decline.Advancing age is known to be associated with various disease processes, including clinically asymptomatic vascular and inflammation processes that contribute to whi
BACKGROUND: IgY antibodies are serum immunoglobulin in birds, reptiles and amphibians, and are transferred from serum to egg yolk to confer passive immunity to their embryos and offspring.Currently, the oral passive immunization using chicken IgY has been focused as an alternative to antibiotics for the treatment and control of diarrhea in animals
