Exclusion of the TGFβ-3 chain in an alternative isoform of the proprotein leads to a region at the beginning of the LAP chain (marked by orange) losing its sensitivity to missense variants. Right: AlphaFold prediction of the binding of the two chains showing these two regions to be close ...
The study has been published in BMJ Open, a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal. The study compared the mortality of women diagnosed with COVID-19 disease at the beginning of the pandemic with the effect of estrogen on mortality. The study included around 15,000 women aged 50 to 80 ...
The concept of cell death has been expanded beyond apoptosis and necrosis to additional forms, including necroptosis, pyroptosis, autophagy, and ferroptosis. These cell death modalities play a critical role in all aspects of life, which are noteworthy fo

However, it is challenging to breed varieties with resistance that is effective, stable and broad-spectrum. Recent advances in genetic and genomic technologies have contributed to a better understanding of the complexity of host–pathogen interactions and have identified some of the genes and ...
Descriptive statistics and visualization were used to identify and explore outliers. The “ggplot2” library was used for all exploratory visualizations and plotting. Regression models were then built in a mixed stepwise manner, beginning with a forward-stepwise selection based on univariable associations...
