Background: T-helper cells play an essential role in the progression of lymphedema. This study aimed to explore biological significance cell-associated genes (THAGs) a mouse tail model lymphedema by RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data.

the eukaryotic complexity involves the expression and regulation of genes via rna-dna, rna-rna, dna-protein and rna-protein interactions. recently, the role of rna molecules in the regulation of genes in higher organisms has become more evident, especially with the discovery that about 97% of the transcriptional output in higher organisms are represented as noncoding rnas: rrna, snornas, trna, ...

We evaluated the role of gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) in protecting neurons from virus-induced injury following central nervous system infection. IFN-gamma(-/-) and IFN-gamma(+/+) mice of the resistant major histocompatibility complex (MHC) H-2(b) haplotype and intracerebrally infected with Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) cleared virus infection from anterior horn cell neurons. ...

Antimicrobial peptides are an essential component of the innate immune system of most organisms. Expressed sequence tag analysis from various shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) tissues revealed transcripts corresponding to two distinct sequences (ALFLv1 and ALFLv2) with strong sequence similarity to antilipopolysaccharide factor (ALF), an antimicrobial peptide originally isolated from the horse shoe...

OBJECTIVE 58-kilodalton inhibitor of protein kinase (P58(IPK)) plays an important role in preventing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. It is an interferon-induced kinase that targets the eukaryotic translation initiation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha. The aim of this study was to determine the roles of P58(IPK) in protecting against diabetic retinopathy (DR) by inhibiting ER stre...

Recent evidence suggests that many endogenous circular RNAs (circRNAs) may play roles in biological processes. However, the expression patterns and functions of circRNAs in human diseases are not well understood. Computationally identifying circRNAs from total RNA-seq data is a primary step in studying their expression pattern and biological roles. In this work, we have developed a computationa...

Nucleic acid helicases are characterized by the presence of the helicase domain containing eight motifs. The sequence of the helicase domain is used to classify helicases into families. To identify members of the DEAD and DEAH families of human RNA helicases, we used the helicase domain sequences to search the nonredundant peptide sequence database. We report the identification of 36 and 14 mem...

this paper is an inquiry concerning the function of religion in tocqueville’s theory of democracy. in analyzing the ideology of democracy in america, he stated that religion plays an important role in establishing democracy, protecting it against threats such as materialism, individualism, tyranny of majority, focusing of power, and restriction of freedom versus equality. tocqueville explains t...
