Auricularia heimuer (A. heimuer F. Wu, B. K. Cui, Y. C. Dai), a well-known gelatinous fungus used for both food and medicine, is a major edible fungus with a more than 1000-year history of cultivation in China. The nutrients of A. heimuer are abundant, including polysaccharides, melanin, mineral elements, etc. The A. heimuer polysaccharides exhibit...

Cellular regulation of pH is crucial for internal biological processes and for the import and export of ions and nutrients. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the major proton pump (Pma1) is regulated by glucose. Glucose is also an inhibitor of the energy sensor Snf1/AMPK, which is conserved in all eukaryotes. Here, we demonstrate that a poly-h...

Gremlin has been reported to regulate inflammation and osteogenesis. Periodontitis is a destructive disease degenerating periodontal tissues, therefore leads to alveolar bone resorption and tooth loss. Based on the importance of Gremlin's bio-activity, the aim of this study is to, in vivo and in vitro, unveil the function of Gremlin in regulating t...

During a nematological survey in Iraq, in the Bashika area, Ninevah province, an anguinid nematode population was isolated from galls of infected barley plants. The morphological characteristics indicated that the recovered species is identical to Anguina tritici. The barley population of A. tritici was molecularly characterized by sequencing two r...

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) are a group of heterogeneous tumors originated from progenitor cells. As these tumors are predominantly non-functional, most of them display asymptomatic characteristics, making it difficult to be realized from early onset. Therefore, patients with pNETs are usually diagnosed with metastatic disease or at a ...

Acute monoblastic/monocytic leukemia (AMoL), previously defined as M5 according to FAB classification, is one of the most common subtypes of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in children, representing ~15–24% of all pediatric AMLs. Currently, the characterization of monocytic-lineage neoplasia at diagnosis includes cytomorphology, cytochemistry, immunop...

In 2016, an entomological study was carried out in a railway transect between Banfora and Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The objective was to assess the risk factors of arbovirus outbreaks, including vector-borne infection status within representative regions of the country. Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were collected at the larval stage from their natural...

In advanced-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), incomplete genotyping for guideline-recommended genomic biomarkers poses a significant challenge to making informed and timely clinical decisions. We report our institution's experience in assessing the adequacy of small specimens for comprehensive genomic profiling for guideline-recommended lun...
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the education of international students. The authors taught a molecular biology course using the DingTalk platform for international medical students (IMS) in the autumn semester of 2020. We assessed the effect of this online teaching based on an online questionnaire and by analysis of the final examinatio...

In recent years, there has been an influx of new tracers into the field of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging. Most of those that have been Food and Drug Administration-approved for clinical imaging exploit various mechanisms of protein biochemistry and molecular biology to bring about their actions, such as amino acid metabolism, protein foldi...
