The discovery in 1993 of the genetic abnormality that causes Huntington’s disease triggered an explosion in our understanding of this inherited neurodegenerative disorder (The Huntington’s Disease Collaborative Research Group, 1993). Since the Huntington’s disease mutation is fully penetrant, everyone with the same underlying CAG triplet repeat expansion in the huntingtin (HTT) gene will develo...

background: the metabolically active tumor cells may be characterized by a pronounced adenosine release that regulates the growth and development of the tumor. consequently, the expression pattern of defined receptor subtypes will be an important determinant for specific effects of adenosine on the control of tumor cell growth. in recent studies, the expression profile, signal transduction, mol...

Algae are defined by their photosynthetic organelles (plastids) that have had multiple independent origins in different phyla. These instances of organelle transfer significantly complicate inference of the tree of life for eukaryotes because the intracellular gene transfer (endosymbiotic gene transfer, EGT) associated with each round of endosymbiosis generates highly chimeric algal nuclear gen...

Biotherapeutics have become an essential component of the modern clinical armamentarium due in part to their high specificity and potency, but access biotherapeutics is currently uneven across global settings.Compared with small molecule drugs, unique features that affect way they are manufactured, supplied, administered patients.The disease burden sub-Saharan Africa includes many communicable ...
