Epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, represent a potential mechanism for
environmental impacts on human disease. Maternal smoking in pregnancy remains an …

Folate is vital for fetal development. Periconceptional folic acid supplementation and food
fortification are recommended to prevent neural tube defects. Mechanisms whereby …

We developed a facile and effective route to synthesize GQDs for bioimaging by using starch
as a precursor. The reactants consist of only starch and water. Furthermore, the products …

The ability of coronaviruses to infect humans is invariably associated with their binding strengths
to human receptor proteins. Both SARS-CoV-2, initially named 2019-nCoV, and SARS-…

Clinical intervention in patients with corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has demonstrated
a strong upregulation of cytokine production in patients who are critically ill with SARS-…

The human body contains thousands of unique cell types, each with specialized functions.
Cell identity is governed in large part by gene transcription programs, which are determined …

Mitochondrial metabolism is necessary for the maintenance of oxidative TCA cycle function
and mitochondrial membrane potential. Previous attempts to decipher whether mitochondria …

Currently, the photovoltaic performance of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is closely linked to
undermined defects in the perovskite, and the correct approach to ensure stability under …

Unstable electrolyte/electrode interface and uncontrolled Li dendrite growth hinder the large-scale
commercial application of Li metal batteries. In this work, an artificial interfacial layer …

Background Epigenetic mechanisms, including methylation, can contribute to childhood
asthma. Identifying DNA methylation profiles in asthmatic patients can inform disease …
