F-box proteins are substrate receptors of the SCF (SKP1-Cullin 1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin
ligase that play important roles in a number of physiological processes and activities …

The recent discovery of numerous human short open reading frame (sORF)-encoded
polypeptides (SEPs) has raised important questions about the functional roles of these …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for bone mineral density (BMD) in humans have
identified over 1100 associations to date. However, identifying causal genes implicated by …

Several mycobacterial strains, such as Mycobacterium flavescens, Mycobacterium gastri,
Mycobacterium neoaurum, Mycobacterium parafortuitum, Mycobacterium peregrinum …

The repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) is central to the maintenance of genomic
integrity. In tumor cells, the ability to repair DSBs predicts response to radiation and many …

Sensory hair cells, the mechanoreceptors of the auditory and vestibular systems, harbor two
specialized elaborations of the apical surface, the hair bundle and the cuticular plate. In …

Caffeic acid is a natural phytochemical structurally similar to other cinnamic acids. In this
study we found caffeic acid (CA) but not ferulic, sinapic or cinnamic acids inhibited …

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may aid in personalizing ovarian cancer therapeutic options.
Here, we aimed to assess the clinical utility of serial ctDNA testing using tumor-naïve, small …

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) viral chemokine, UL146, and TNF α-like receptor UL144
genes show a high degree of hypervariability in clinical isolates. These proteins are …

Human CMV (HCMV) uses members of the hematopoietic system including neutrophils for
dissemination throughout the body. HCMV encodes a viral chemokine, vCXCL-1, that is …
