Gene editing is a method of selective breeding, a practice as old as our need to grow our own food. Scientists use gene editing technology to make precise changes that allow the incorporation of a favorable genotype and phenotype in one generation, instead of using the traditional method called...
Autoimmune encephalitis is a relatively novel nosological entity characterized by an immune-mediated damage of the central nervous system. While originally described as a paraneoplastic inflammatory phenomenon affecting limbic structures, numerous instances of non-paraneoplastic pathogenesis, as well as extra-...
Combining genes, such as in MiMe (Mitosis instead of Meiosis) mutant, resulted in Arabidopsis plants with apomeiotic behavior (d'Erfurth et al. 2009) that pro- duced both diploid female and male gametes genetically identical to their parent. This approach was taken one step further in ...
The discovery and clinical validation of biomarkers predictive of the response of non-squamous non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NS-NSCLC) to therapeutic strategies continue to provide new data. The evaluation of novel treatments is based on molecular analyses aimed at determining their efficacy. These...
The latter would shape the AR functions [248,249,250,251]. AR is a nuclear receptor made up of a single gene that is located on the X-chromosome [252,253,254]. Androgens are usually depicted as male hormones, yet they were found to also play important biological roles in female ...
