Transposable elements (TEs) are sequences that replicate and move throughout genomes, and they can be silenced through methylation of cytosines at CpG dinucleotides. TE abundance contributes to genome size, but TE silencing...
BACKGROUND: The Trauma Quality Improvement Program was designed by the American College of Surgeons to measure quality benchmarks across American College of Surgeons-certified trauma centers. The Hospital Consumer Assessment...
Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling has been linked to the development of pulmonary hypertension (PH). Inhibitors of differentiation (ID) proteins (ID1-4) are a family of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that...
BACKGROUND: NOL7 is a candidate tumor suppressor that localizes to a chromosomal region 6p23. This locus is frequently lost in a number of malignancies, and consistent loss of NOL7 through loss of heterozygosity and decreased...

The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway comprises the largest subdivision of the transforming growth factor (TGF?) superfamily. BMP signaling plays essential roles in both embryonic development and postnatal...
Friedreich ataxia (FRDA) is an autosomal recessive neuro- and cardio-degenerative disorder caused by decreased expression of frataxin, a protein that localizes to mitochondria and is critical for iron-sulfur-cluster (ISC)...
