Influences of RASopathies on Neuroanatomical Variation in Children.

Background: RASopathies are a group of disorders characterized by pathogenic mutations in the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (Ras/MAPK) signaling pathway. Distinct pathogenic variants in genes encoding proteins in the Ras/MAPK pathway cause Noonan syndrome (NS) and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), which are associated with increased risk for autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Methods: This study examined the effect of RASopathies (NS and NF1) on human neuroanatomy, specifically on surface area (SA), cortical thickness (CT), and subcortical volumes.

Synthesis of BLF1-containing trimethyl chitosan nanoparticles and evaluation of its immunogenicity and protection in syrian mice by oral and subcutaneous injections.

The bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the cause of melioidosis infectious disease. In this bacterium, the BLF1 protein wide inhibits the synthesis of proteins in human cells. This disease is reported to cause a death rate of 40% in some parts of the world.

Expression, purification, characterization, and cytotoxic evaluation of the ML1-STxB fusion protein.

Targeted delivery of a toxin substance to cancer cells is one of the most recent cancer treatment options. Mistletoe Lectin-1 (ML1) in Viscum album L. is a Ribosome-inactivating proteins with anticancer properties.

Mode decomposition-based time-varying phase synchronization for fMRI.

Recently, there has been significant interest in measuring time-varying functional connectivity (TVC) between different brain regions using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data. One way to assess the relationship between signals from different brain regions is to measure their phase synchronization (PS) across time. However, this requires the a priori choice of type and cut-off frequencies for the bandpass filter needed to perform the analysis.

Response of Saponaria officinalis L. hairy roots to the application of TiO nanoparticles in terms of production of valuable polyphenolic compounds and SO6 protein.

Saponaria officinalis L. is a perennial plant from the Caryophyllaceae family whose various parts are used in traditional medicine as the treatment agent of skin diseases, blood purifier, diuretic, sudorific, and bile purifier. The cultivation system of hairy roots is a proper alternative for improving the valuable pharmaceutical compounds production compared to other in-vitro methods.
