INVESTIGATING THE SHARED GENETIC ARCHITECTURE BETWEEN COVID-19 AND OBESITY: A LARGE-SCALE GENOME WIDE CROSS-TRAIT ANALYSIS

Investigating the shared genetic architecture between COVID-19 and obesity: a large-scale genome wide cross-trait analysis

Observational studies have reported high comorbidity between obesity and severe COVID-19.The aim of this study is to explore whether genetic factors are involved in the co-occurrence of the two traits.Based on the available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics, we explored the genetic correlation and performed cross-trait meta-

Trichostatin A stabilizes the expression of pluripotent genes in human mesenchymal stem cells during ex vivo expansion.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been considered as ideal cells for the treatment of a variety of diseases.However, aging and spontaneous differentiation of MSCs during culture expansion dampen their effectiveness.Previous studies suggest that ex vivo aging of MSCs is largely caused by epigenetic changes particularly a decline of hist

A few examples of opposed thinking about gender differences

Examples of anti-feminine and pro-feminine reasoning with Otto Weininger, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Sigmund Freud, Arthur Schopenhauer, Aristotle, Simone de Beauvoir, Pierre Bourdieu, Harriet Taylor Mill and John Stuart Mill.Review of these theories points to the need to respect distinction (physical) characteristics Wall Oven of sex and (culture defi

Comprehensive Assimilation of Fire Suppression Modeling and Simulation of Radiant Fire by Water and Its Synergistic Effects with Carbon Dioxide

Recently, water has been employed as a supportive agent for the preparation of multiple suppressing agents including aqueous film forming foams (AFFF), which is combined with different kinds of gases for its various applications.In this study, the water mist is chosen for the gas-suppressing agent such as carbon dioxide.Our work investigated the su
