The aim of the study was to determine the test-retest reliability of MMN and LDN recorded to simple speech contrasts in children with listening difficulties. MMN and LDN responses were recorded from Fz and Cz electrodes for a /da/-/ga/ contrast twice within a 10-day period. To extract MMN and LDN, auditory-evoked responses to /ga/ stimuli presented alone were subtracted from the responses to /ga/ presented within an oddball sequence.

Zinc is an essential trace element for plant growth and development. Zinc transporters play an important role in regulating zinc homeostasis in plants. In this study, the potato cultivar 'Atlantic' was used as experimental material to analyze the expression characteristics of the StZIP2 gene in different potato tissues under zinc deficiency stress.

Base editing is a common mechanism by which organisms expand their genetic repertoire to access new functions. Here, we explore the mechanism of tRNA recognition in the bacterial deaminase TadA, which exclusively recognizes tRNA and converts the wobble base adenosine (A34) to inosine. We quantitatively evaluate the dynamics of tRNA binding by incorporating the fluorescent adenine analogue 2-aminopurine (2-AP) at position 34 in the wobble base of the anticodon loop.

Background: The swift rise in the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) alongside its significant societal and economic impact has created a pressing demand for effective interventions and treatments. However, there are no available treatments that can modify the progression of the disease.
Methods: Eight AD brain tissues datasets and three blood datasets were obtained.

Background: Maternal smoking and foetal exposure to nicotine and other harmful chemicals in utero remains a serious public health issue with little knowledge about the underlying genetics and consequences of maternal smoking in ageing individuals. Here, we investigated the epidemiology and genomic architecture of maternal smoking in a middle-aged population and compare the results to effects observed in the developing foetus.
Methods: In the current project, we included 351,562 participants from the UK Biobank (UKB) and estimated exposure to maternal smoking status during pregnancy through self-reporting from the UKB participants about the mother's smoking status around their birth.
