Introduction: Global disparities in HIV prevalence among transgender women are well documented. However, current epidemiological literature on HIV disparities demonstrates gaps in research that include the diversity within transgender populations-for example, transgender men and non-binary trans people across global regions. This systematic review and meta-analysis protocol aims to summarise global HIV inequities among all transgender and non-binary (trans) populations.

Low temperatures reduce the respiration, ethylene emission, and enzymatic activities associated with senescence. Unfortunately, peaches are sensitive to low temperatures if exposed for long periods, resulting in physiological disorders that can compromise commercial quality.

Here we identified SSG of the ventricular isoform of myosin light chain 1 (MLC-1v) in human, swine, and mouse cardiac tissues using top-down mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. Our results enabled the accurate identification, quantification, and site-specific localization of SSG in MLC-1v across different species.
