(Translational Psychiatry, 2020-02-03)Motivated by observational studies that report associations between schizophrenia and traits, such as poor diet, increased body mass index and metabolic disease, we investigated the genetic contribution to dietary intake ...
-
(2021-01-06)Department: Cell & Developmental BiologyEpithelial cells possess intrinsic mechanisms to maintain an appropriate cell density for normal tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis. Defects in such mechanisms likely contribute to hyperplasia and cancer initiation. To ...
-
(2018-08-28)Department: Biomedical InformaticsNon-coding gene regulatory enhancers are essential to transcription in mammalian cells. As a result, a large variety of experimental and computational strategies have been developed to identify cis-regulatory enhancer ...

(JOURNAL OF BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE, 2019-07-03)BackgroundHuman enteroviruses contain over 100 serotypes. We have routinely conducted enterovirus surveillance in northern Taiwan; but about 10% of isolates could not be serotyped using traditional assays. Next-generation ...
-
(2005-11-07)Department: Cell and Developmental BiologyProper function of the brain requires that neurons adopt different morphologies and connections. In the nematode <i>C. elegans</i>, VA and VB motor neurons arise from a common precursor cell but adopt different morphologies ...

-
(2022-09-20)Department: Environmental EngineeringThe disposal of coal combustion residues in landfills and impoundments is a long-term environmental safety concern, resulting from the potential leaching of oxyanions (As, B, Cr, Mo, Se, and V). Laboratory leaching ...
-
(2014-07-22)Department: Environmental EngineeringSilicic magmas pose threats to society in the form of explosive volcanism. Understanding silicic magmatism is thus crucial for evaluating eruption-related risks, but numerous questions are unresolved: How are silicic magmas ...
