The composition and function of bacterial communities in Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) changed dramatically with infected fungi: A new potential to culture Cordyceps cicadae.

Cordyceps cicadae (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) is a renowned entomopathogenic fungus used as herbal medicine in China. However, wild C. cicadae resources have been threatened by heavy harvesting.

Mapping Oxidation and Wafer Cleaning to Device Characteristics Using Physics-Assisted Machine Learning.

It is always highly desired to have a well-defined relationship between the chemistry in semiconductor processing and the device characteristics. With the shrinkage of technology nodes in the semiconductors roadmap, it becomes more complicated to understand the relation between the device electrical characteristics and the process parameters such as oxidation and wafer cleaning procedures. In this work, we use a novel machine learning approach, i.

DNA methylation inhibitor, decitabine, promotes MGC803 gastric cancer cell migration and invasion via the upregulation of NEDD4‑1.

Gastric cancer is the fourth most common cancer type and the second leading cause of cancer‑associated mortality worldwide. Metastasis is a crucial feature of its progression. DNA methylation provides a key epigenetic signature in the epigenetic regulation pathway, and is implicated in transcriptional regulation.

OCT4B modulates OCT4A expression as ceRNA in tumor cells.

OCT4 is an essential transcription factor for maintaining the self-renewal and the pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). The human OCT4 gene can generate three mRNA isoforms (OCT4A, OCT4B and OCT4B1) by alternative splicing. OCT4A protein is a transcription factor for the stemness of ESCs, while the function of OCT4B isoforms remains unclear.
