Background COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the world, affecting a large percentage of the population. When lifting certain mandatory measures for an economic restart, robust surveillance must be established and implemented, with nucleic acid detection for SARS-CoV-2 as an essential component. Methods We tried to develop a one-tube detection plat...

BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a chronic vascular disease posing a great threat to public health. We investigated whether rosuvastatin (RVS) enhanced autophagic activities to inhibit lipid accumulation and polarization conversion of macrophages and then attenuate atherosclerotic lesions.MethodsAll male Apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE−/−) mice were f...

BackgroundStudies of molecular mechanisms underlying tumor cell signaling highlighted a critical role for kinases in carcinogenesis and cancer progression. To this regard, protein kinases regulates a number of critical cellular pathways by adding phosphate groups to specific substrates. For this reason, their involvement in the complex interactions...

BackgroundCopy number variation (CNV) suggests genetic changes in malignant tumors. Abnormal expressions of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) resulted from genomic and epigenetic abnormalities play a driving role in tumorigenesis of cervical cancer. However, the role of lncRNAs-related CNV in cervical cancer remained largely unclear.MethodsThe data of...

BackgroundMelanoma is the deadliest of skin cancers and has an increasing annual incidence worldwide. It is a multi-factorial disease most likely arising from both genetic predisposition and environmental exposure to ultraviolet light. Genetic variability of the components of the biological circadian clock is recognized to be a risk factor for diff...

BackgroundClinical risk scores and machine learning models based on routine laboratory values could assist in automated early identification of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) patients at risk for severe clinical outcomes. They can guide patient triage, inform allocation of health care resources, and contribute to the i...

The vast majority of good science and excellent ideas do not translate into products. Many good products that have the potential to assist in diagnosis and therapy do not mature into everyday care. This often becomes a source of frustration for innovators, academic institutions, companies both small and large, and investors. The “innovation paradox...
