Epilepsy is a disease that decreases the quality of life of patients; it is also among the most common neurological diseases. Several studies have approached the classification and prediction of seizures by using electroencephalographic data and machine learning techniques. A large diversity of features has been extracted from electroencephalograms...

Specular reflection from tissue is typically considered as undesirable, and managed through device design. However, we believe that specular reflection is an untapped light-tissue interaction, which can be used for imaging subcutaneous blood flow. To illustrate the concept of subcutaneous blood flow visualization using specular reflection from the ...

Numerous rodent species have been broadly examined for Sarcocystis parasites. Nevertheless, recent investigations on Sarcocystis spp. in voles are lacking. As many as 45 bank voles (Clethrionomys glareolus) captured in several locations in Lithuania were examined in the present study. Based on morphological, genetic, and phylogenetic results, sarco...

The long non-coding RNA X inactivate-specific transcript (lncRNA XIST) has been verified as an oncogenic gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose regulatory role is largely unknown. The important tumor suppressors, microRNAs: miR-449a and miR-16 are regulated by lncRNA XIST in NSCLC, these miRNAs share numerous common targets and experiment...
The authors would like to correct spelling mistakes (undenatured type II collagen) in the title, as well as in the main manuscript including the tables and figures in the title paper [...]
This Special Issue brings an update on some of the advances in research in the cannabinoid field, with focus on the impact of cannabinoids on inflammation [...]
The quick spread of invasive arthropod species worldwide, sometimes boosted by global warming and urbanization [...]
During the last 60 years the relevance for human health and disease of cannabis (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica) ingredients, like the psychoactive compound Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, 120+ cannabinoids and 440+ non-cannabinoid compounds, has become apparent [...]
Glucosinolates (GSLs) are important precursor compounds with anticancer activities in Brassicaceae vegetables and are readily hydrolyzed by myrosinase. Given the diversity of these species, establishing an accurate and universal method to quantify intact GSLs in different plant tissues is necessary. Here, we compared and optimized three tissue disr...
Transgelin is a 22-kDa protein involved in cytoskeletal organization and expressed in smooth muscle tissue. According to animal studies, it is a potential mediator of kidney injury and fibrosis, and moreover, its role in tumorigenesis is emerging in a variety of cancers. The study included 126 ambulatory patients with multiple myeloma (MM). Serum t...
