Increased levels of the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) are associated with higher risk of kidney disease progression and cardiovascular events, but underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Here, we ...

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 ...

Non-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 ...

Proper 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 ...

The 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 ...

The total ionizing dose induced degradation in advanced deep-submicron CMOS technologies has been significantly reduced by scaling. Damage to isolating field oxides remains a significant threat for integrated circuits ...
