- Abstract:
- ... Although several studies have shown an association between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels and atrial fibrillation (AF), the causality remains unclear. We undertook a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to investigate the causal association between Hcy and AF.Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which genome-wide significantly associated with plasma Hcy levels were obtained from a genome-wide me ...

- Abstract:
- ... Ribosome biogenesis, which takes place mainly in the nucleolus, involves coordinated expression of pre-ribosomal RNAs (pre-rRNAs) and ribosomal proteins, pre-rRNA processing, and subunit assembly with the aid of numerous assembly factors. Our previous study showed that the Arabidopsis thaliana protein arginine methyltransferase AtPRMT3 regulates pre-rRNA processing; however, the underlying molecul ...

- Abstract:
- ... Despite its complexity, the human body is composed of only four basic tissue types, namely epithelial, connective, muscular and nervous tissues. Notably, each tissue is an assemblage of similarly functional cells united in performing a specific function. Instead of mimicking functionality mechanically, three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting based on histological categories is a strategy designed with ...

Because governments have introduced policies involving incentives and penalties to promote the recycling of plastic waste, it is important to understand the impact of such incentives and penalties on the willingness of stakeholders to participate. In this study, government is included as a player, alongside waste collectors and recyclers, in a tripartite evolutionary game model of plastic waste re ...

Present study was conducted to assess the capability of PBM in substituting fishmeal in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus♀× Epinephelus lanceolatus♂). Six practical diets (52 % crude protein, 12.5 % crude lipid) were formulated with differently PBM replaced level: 0 % (control diet), 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 % and 100 % ...
