Y-box-binding protein 1 (YBX1) is a multifunctional oncoprotein with its nuclear localization contributing to chemo-resistance in breast cancer. Through its interactions with various proteins and lncRNAs, YBX1 promotes cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Despite its significant role in cancer progression, studies on YBX1's protein-protein interactions (PPIs) remain limited.

FOLs include ossifying fibromas (OF), cemento-ossifying fibroma (COF), familial gigantiform cementoma (FGC), fibrous dysplasia (FD), and cemento-osseous dysplasia (COD). Evidence suggests that some FOL, especially FD and OF may have a risk of spontaneous malignant transformation.

Studies on COVID-19 have primarily focused on the patient's perspective. It is important to understand the experience of family members who adopt caregiving roles, as the experience of COVID-19 also impacts, and is impacted by, household members.

However, lots of challenges are to be addressed due to changing climatic conditions. Although genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have proven their potential in a few crops, but needs to be explored in majority of the field/vegetable crops to overcome food and nutritional security in view of alarming population explosion.

These cis-elements are present upstream in the motif of the promoters of each gene. This ensures the binding of a specific TF to a specific promoter, therefore regulating the expression of that gene.
