Background Driven essentially by random genetic drift, subfunctionalization has been identified as a possible non-adaptive mechanism for the retention of duplicate genes in small-population species, where widespread ...

Objective: To understand developmental characteristics of urinary bladder carcinomas (UBC) by evaluating genomic alterations and p53 protein expression in primary tumors, their recurrences, and in the morphologically normal ...

The cause of hearing impairment has not been elucidated in a large proportion of patients. We screened by 1-Mb array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) 29 individuals with syndromic hearing impairment whose ...

This thesis seeks, from a technical perspective on the ontology of difference, to analyze the digital medium as an agent in the regulation of asymmetries of social power. For this, it is based on the notions and tools of ...

Aging is characterized by a slow and progressive process in which various morphological, functional and biochemical changes occur which contribute to the increased vulnerability and incidence of pathological processes in ...

It has been described that the cardiac dysfunction in the obesity model is because of collagen imbalance and that angiotensin II (Ang II) contributes to myocardial fibrosis. However, it remains undefined if changes in ...

Bees are important pollinators that help to maintain the biodiversity of wild and cultivated plants. However, the increased and inappropriate use of agrochemicals has caused an imbalance in the populations of these insects ...

The use of high amounts of industrial chemical fertilizers to increase the nutrients availability and production in lettuce cultures, may cause ecological imbalance, environmental contamination and higher production cost. ...
