EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS: HOW TO UNDERSTAND SUCH DIVERSE AND SO ENTANGLED PHYSIOPATHOLOGY?Carlos Henrique Melo Reis, Marco Orsini, Marco Antônio Araujo Leite et al.When in 1865, JeanMartin Charcotreported patients with progressive muscular atrophysuperimposedwith spasticity of inexorable evolution as result of combinedlesions of the anterior horn and lateral column of the spinal cord, hecertainly inaugurated an attempt on the comprehension of one of the mostcomplexes neurological clinical conditions, which until today persists withimmense voids on their comprehension, regardless of the enormous advancesachieved. Astime went … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 16 Feb 2015 · 7,149 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGene Expression of FADS2 mRNA Linked to Intelligence in Exclusively Breast Milk Fed PretermsNaglaa F. Alhusseini, Amal Idris Ali, Azza M.A. Abul-Fadl et al.Breastfeeding is important for brain development and was shown by many studies to result in higher scores Intelligent Quotient (IQ). However, the exact mechanism whereby Breastfeeding influences cognitive development remains unclear. This study aimed to study the expression of genetic code FADS2 linked to the cognitive function in relation to the mode of feeding. The study comprised 30 preterm infants … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2014 · 6,857 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractGLUTATHIONE: A POSSIBLE LINK TO AUTOPHAGY IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUSDilip Shah, Swapan K. NathIncreased free radical formation and altered redox state are of fundamental importance in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including Systemic Lupus Erythematos (SLE). Free radicals are mainly derived from oxygen (Reactive Oxygen Species/ROS) and nitrogen (Reactive Nitrogen Species/RNS) at mitochondria, cellular membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane as physiological responses to a variety of internal and external stress (Shah et … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 12,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF INTER SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS AND SIMPLE SEQUENCE REPEATS MARKERS: GENETIC ANALYSIS OF DESCHAMPSIA CESPITOSA POPULATIONS GROWING IN METAL CONTAMINATED REGIONS IN CANADAK.K. Nkongolo, S. Gervais, P. Michael, Y. ZhouComparative studies conducted on the genetic variation of metal-tolerant populations and their non-metal-tolerant counterparts have been performed on numerous species using isozyme markers. Analysis of genetic differences among plant populations growing in heavy metal-contaminated and uncontaminated regions are limited. The main objectives of the present study were to compare ISSR and microsatellite markers in assessing genetic variation in D. cespitosa … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 8 Apr 2014 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE SWINE LEUKOCYTE ANTIGEN-6 GENE GENERATED FROM SPLEENTISSUE OF KOREAN NATIVE PIGJaeyoung Kim, Hyojun Park, Yoonchung Choi, Hoyoung ChungThis study was aimed to search genetic variants, to investigate phylogenetic relationships between pig breeds and to provide basic genetic information of Korean Native Pigs (KNP) using the variations of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen-6 (SLA-6) gene. Cloning of the Swine Leukocyte Antigen (SLA)-6 gene in the MHC non-classical region was performed with spleen tissues of Korean Native Pigs (KNP). Sequencing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2014 · 7,234 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIMPLEMENTATION OF SPACE VECTOR PULSE WIDTH MODULATION TECHNIQUE WITH GENETIC ALGORITHM TO OPTIMIZE UNIFIED POWER QUALITY CONDITIONERM. Shankar, S. Monisha, H. Shesna et al.This study proposes a novel control design of Unified Power Quality Conditioner (UPQC). This design is enabled by a control framework that employs Genetic Algorithm which determines optimum points and angle for filtering and Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation Technique (SVPWM) to offer significant flexibility to optimize waveform. In addition the same framework integrates the major functions of the UPQC … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 14 Dec 2013 · 6,711 accessesView PDFCite

The present study showed different protein patterns, which revealed by NJ and UPGMA clustering methods into three major clusters 1, 2 and 3. Cluster … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Nov 2013 · 7,280 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinformatics Analysis of Some Functional Genes and Proteins Involved in Obesity-Induced Type 2 DiabetesEhab M. Abdella, Rasha R. Ahmed, Mohamed B. Ashour et al.The incidence of type-2 diabetes is rising rapidly worldwide, mainly because of the increase in the incidence of obesity, which is an important risk factor for this condition. Both obesity and type-2 diabetes are complex genetic traits but they also share some nongenetic risk factors. Differences among individuals in their susceptibility to both these conditions probably reflect their genetic constitutions. … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 6 May 2013 · 12,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMembrane Computing Inspired Genetic Algorithm on Multi-Core ProcessorsAli Maroosi, Ravie Chandren MuniyandiMembrane computing is a branch of natural computing. Several studies have recently attempted to utilize the structure of membrane computing to improve intelligent algorithms. These studies have applied communication rules in membrane models to facilitate information exchange between membranes, thereby improving the performance of those algorithms. However, parallel membrane computing has not yet been considered. This study proposes a membrane … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 12 Apr 2013 · 6,625 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of UGT1A9 Genetic Polymorphisms between Chinese Han and Tibetan PopulationsWei Yan, Jian Cui, Yuewen Wang et al.Although various polymorphisms have been identified in the UGT1A9 gene in the main sorts of ethnic groups in the world, no investigations have been focused on the Chinese Tibetan populations and the comparison between Chinese Tibetan and Han populations to date. This study was designed to systematically compare genetic differences between the two populations. We investigated the functional regions of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 23 Aug 2012 · 7,641 accessesView PDFCite
