1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives were synthesized from B-uréidoxyalcools, and their 1H, 13C RMN and mass spectra were determined. Their activity against human immunodeficiency virus and their cytotoxicity were then evaluated. Whereas the derivatives had no effect on virus infectivity nor on reverse transcriptase activity, they unexpectedly enhanced host cell infection by both lymphotropic and macrophage-tropic virus strains.

The / gene, linked to fine motor control in vertebrates, is a potential candidate gene thought to play a prominent role in human language production. It is expressed specifically in a subset of corticothalamic (CT) pyramidal cells (PCs) in layer 6 (L6) of the neocortex. These L6 FOXP2+ PCs project exclusively to the thalamus, with L6a PCs targeting first-order or both first- and higher-order thalamic nuclei, whereas L6b PCs connect only to higher-order nuclei.

The regulation of gene expression relies on the coordinated action of transcription factors (TFs) at enhancers, including both activator and repressor TFs. We employed deep learning (DL) to dissect HepG2 enhancers into positive (PAR), negative (NAR), and neutral activity regions. Sharpr-MPRA and STARR-seq highlight the dichotomy impact of NARs and PARs on modulating and catalyzing the activity of enhancers, respectively.

Background: College students significantly decrease physical activity (PA) over the course of a four-year degree, increasing the risk for chronic disease. Research shows that psychological constructs impact behavior and goal attainment. However, little is known regarding the effect of psychological variables on PA levels in students.

Introduction: Chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Currently, the inflammatory cardiovascular risk is assessed via C-reactive protein (CRP) levels measured using a high-sensitivity assay (hsCRP). Monomeric CRP (mCRP) is a locally produced form of CRP that has emerged as a potential biomarker of inflammation.

Because acute kidney injuries (AKI) are one of the critical health problems worldwide, studies on the risk factors, mechanisms, and treatment strategies seem necessary. Glycerol (GLY), known to induce cell necrosis via myoglobin accumulation in renal tubules, is widely used as an AKI model. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effects of gallic acid (GA) against GLY-induced AKI.
