Article Synopsis
- Scientists found that special marks on DNA can control how genes are turned on and off.
- They made a new method called Chrom-seq to find RNA that works with these DNA marks in living cells.
- This new method is better, faster, and cheaper than older ways and doesn’t need special antibodies to study RNA linked to DNA marks that might help control gene activity.
Aim: To investigate the predictive value of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) for heart failure in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed the data of 241 patients with CKD admitted to Zhangjiakou First Hospital from January 2019 to January 2021. The subjects were divided into a heart failure (HF) group (n=117) and a non-HF group (n=124) according to whether heart failure occurred.
Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied how a special protein from the SARS-CoV-2 virus sticks to parts of its RNA, which helps the virus put itself together.
- They found that this protein can attach to two important RNA sequences that are not found in humans but are common in coronaviruses.
- Understanding how this protein works could help in creating new medicines that fight against different types of coronaviruses.
A high-throughput investigation of metallic glass formation via solid-state reaction was reported in this paper. Combinatorial multilayered thin-film chips covering the entire Ti-Ni-Cu ternary system were prepared using ion beam sputtering technique. Microbeam synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) measurements were conducted, with 1,325 data points collected from each chip, to map out the composition and the phase constitution before and after annealing at 373 K for 110 hours.

Adult height has been one of the most studied variables, specifically its temporal change at the national and provincial levels, the impact of the Civil War and the subsequent dictatorship, and the differences between urban and rural areas. We want to contribute to this general overview with the presentation of a project about an intra-urban perspective of the city of Madrid.
