This article is focused on the possibilities provided by the combinatorial analysis for the solution of a variety of diagnostic problems encountered in forensic medical dermatoglyphics. The main principles underlying combinatorially-designed characteristic of the dermatoglyphic features are described in the application to the results of mathematical statistical analysis and the expert evaluation of the specific quantitative characteristics of the papillary patterns. The objective data are presented that give evidence of a higher sensitivity of the combinatorial analysis in comparison with the traditional analytical methods used in dermatoglyphic investigations.

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a frequently metastatic tumor of the thyroid that develops from the malignant transformation of C-cells. These tumors most commonly have activating mutations within the RET or RAS proto-oncogenes. Germline mutations within RET result in C-cell hyperplasia, and cause the MTC pre-disposition disorder, multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2A (MEN2A).

We found that the antimalarial medication mefloquine (MFQ) permeabilized the bacterial cell membrane of , decreased membrane fluidity, and caused physical injury to the membrane. MFQ also maintained activity across different pH conditions (PH range 5-8).

How life developed in its earliest stages is a central but notoriously difficult question in science. The earliest lifeforms likely used a reduced set of codon sequences that were progressively completed over time, driven by chemical, physical, and combinatorial constraints. However, despite its importance for prebiotic chemistry, UV radiation has not been considered a selection pressure for the evolution of early codon sequences.

Filamentous fungi are important cell factories for producing chemicals, organic acids, and enzymes. Although several genome editing tools are available for filamentous fungi, few effectively enable continuous evolution for rational engineering of complex phenotype. Here, we present CRISPR-Cas9 cytidine-base-editor (CBE) assisted evolution by continuously delivering a combinatorial sgRNA library to filamentous fungi.

This study explores the effects of plant compounds on human papillomavirus (HPV)-induced W12 cervical precancer cells and bioelectric signaling. The aim is to identify effective phytochemicals, both individually and in combination, that can prevent and treat HPV infection and HPV associated cervical cancer. Phytochemicals were tested using growth inhibition, combination, gene expression, RT PCR, and molecular docking assays.
