In the human genome, heterozygous sites refer to genomic positions with a different allele or nucleotide variant on the maternal and paternal chromosomes. Resolving these allelic differences by chromosomal copy, also known ...
Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular plasticity program that can confer invasiveness, dissemination, and therapy resistance to cancer cells. Although inhibitors of this cellular process are expected to ...
Background and Aims: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are vulnerable to respiratory infections and chronic airway inflammation, which leads to diminished respiratory function. This decline is exacerbated by muscle tone ...
Understanding the evolution of wrist anatomy in fossil hominins is essential for reconstructing their locomotor behavior and manipulative capabilities. Traditionally, most studies have focused on bone morphology, overlooking ...
Age estimation is a prerequisite for human identification. Within the skeletal framework, pelvic acetabular variables constitute a promising age marker. Previous investigations with the coxal bone have utilised either ...
Background: Some regions of Spain are withdrawing their pregnancy screening program for congenital toxoplasmosis (CT). The Spanish Research Network of Congenital Toxoplasmosis (REIV-TOXO) was created to describe the current ...
Circulating lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) is increased in individuals with liver steatosis. We aimed to evaluate the possible impact of liver LBP downregulation using lipid nanoparticle-containing chemically ...

Objective: This study aimed to assess the association of somatic depressive symptoms (SDS), cognitive/emotional depressive symptoms (C-EDS), and antidepressant treatment on mortality due to cancer and other causes in a ...
Background/Objectives: This study investigates whether systemic ovalbumin-aluminum sensitization followed by cutaneous challenge induces thermal hyperalgesia and spinal cord gliosis in mice. Methods: Adult female ICR-CD1 ...
Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) incidence and mortality in women have changed over time. This study aims to analyze population-level incidence and mortality trends over 40 years of observation. Methods: Population-based study ...
Discovered in 1989, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) is a neuropeptide with strong neuroprotective properties, as shown in various neurodegenerative preclinical models of Parkinson, Alzheimer, or ...
Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury lacks any effective treatments, often leading to chronic pain. This study tested whether the daily administration of fully characterized polyphenolic extracts from grape stalks and ...
Background Mice experiments have underscored the efficacy of pharmacological inhibition of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) through the use of soluble receptors for advanced glycation endproducts (sRAGE) in mitigating ...
Accumulating evidence suggests that the predisposition to metabolic diseases is established in utero through epigenomic modifications. However, it remains unclear whether childhood obesity results from preexisting epigenomic ...
Purpose: This study aims to assess how fractures and fear of falling affect health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in men (≥50 years) across different domains. Methods: Design: Observational study. Setting: Primary care. ...
