Background/Aims: Fetal metabolism may be changed by the exposure to maternal factors, and the route to obesity may already set in utero.Cord blood metabolites might predict growth patterns and later obesity.We aimed to characterize associations of cord blood with birth weight, postnatal weight gain, and BMI in adolescence.Methods: Over 700 cord blo
Exploring hierarchical and overlapping modular structure in the yeast protein interaction network
Abstract Background Developing effective strategies to reveal modular structures in protein interaction networks is crucial for better understanding of molecular mechanisms of underlying biological processes.In this paper, we propose a new density-based algorithm (ADHOC) for clustering vertices of a protein interaction network Rinsing Tool using a
Knee extension range of motion and self-report physical function in total knee arthroplasty: mediating effects of knee extensor strength
Abstract Background Knee extensor strength and knee extension range of motion (ROM) are important predictors of physical function in Accessories patients with a total knee arthroplasty (TKA).However, the relationship between the two knee measures remains unclear.The purpose of this study was to examine whether changes in knee extensor strength medi
Inflammation drives wound hyperpigmentation in zebrafish by recruiting pigment cells to sites of tissue damage
SUMMARY In humans, skin is the largest organ and serves as a barrier between our body and the outside world.Skin protects our internal amp; Toe organs from external pathogens and other contaminants, and melanocytes within the skin protect the body from damage by ultraviolet light.These same pigment cells also determine our skin colour and complexio
