DNA molecules are not completely stable, they are subject to chemical or photochemical damage and errors that occur during DNA replication resulting in mismatched base pairs. Through mechanistic studies Paul Modrich showed how replication errors are corrected by strand-directed mismatch repair in Escherichia coli and human cells.

The cytokine homologs, particularly transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, is a crucial immunomodulatory molecule and involved in growth and developmental processes in several helminths. In this study, the basic properties and functions of T. spiralis TGF-β homolog 2 (TsTGH2) were characterized using bioinformatics and molecular biology approaches.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health challenge, necessitating advanced predictive models to support clinical decision-making. In this study, we explore multi-label classification as a novel approach to predict antibiotic resistance across four clinically relevant bacteria: E. coli, S.

Background: In developing countries, due to improper management of domestic animals' exposures, under-five (U5) children have been affected by diarrhoea. However, there is no evidence that shows the presence of diarrhoea-causing pathogens in the faeces of U5 children and animals residing in the same houses in the Sidama region, Ethiopia.
Methods: A laboratory-based matched case-control study was conducted on children aged 6-48 months in the Sidama region of Ethiopia from February to June 2023.
Effects of mirror-image nucleosides on DNA replication and transcription in human cells.

Mirror-image nucleosides, as potential antiviral drugs, can inhibit virus DNA polymerase to prevent virus replication. Conversely, they may be inserted into the DNA strands during DNA replication or transcription processes, leading to mutations that affect genome stability. Accumulation of significant mutation damage in cells may result in cell aging, apoptosis, and even uncontrolled cell division.
