PurposeThe mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway is often studied in oncology as the most easily mentioned signaling pathway.This study aims to establish a new prognostic risk model of MAPK pathway related molecules in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) based on genome and transcriptome analysis.MethodsIn our study, RNA-se
Thrombomodulin as a Physiological Modulator of Intravascular Injury
Thrombomodulin (TM), which is predominantly expressed on the endothelium, plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis by regulating the coagulation system.Intravascular injury and inflammation are complicated physiological processes that are induced by injured endothelium-mediated pro-coagulant signaling, necrotic endothelial- and b
Factors affecting the biology of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), a parasitoid of spotted-wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii).
Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is a wasp that parasitizes and host-feeds on pupae of the invasive spotted-wing drosophila (SWD, Drosophila suzukii).Few studies have addressed interactions between these two species and little is known about the potential of this parasitoid as a biocontrol agent of SWD and the different variables that may affect it.Here,
Swiss-AlpArray temporary broadband seismic stations deployment and noise characterization
AlpArray is a Building Set large collaborative seismological project in Europe that includes more than 50 research institutes and seismological observatories.At the heart of the project is the collection of top-quality seismological data from a dense network of broadband temporary seismic stations, in compliment to the existing permanent networks,
Characterization of Port Bolivar Virus, a Novel Entomobirnavirus (Birnaviridae) Isolated from Mosquitoes Collected in East Texas, USA
This report describes and characterizes a novel entomobirnavirus, designated Port Bolivar virus (PTBV), that was isolated Soft Toy from a pool of Aedes sollicitans mosquitoes collected in a saltwater marsh in East Texas, USA.Full genome sequencing and phylogenetic analyses indicate that PTBV is distinct but genetically related to Drosophila X virus
