OGP, encoded by the Ovgp1 gene, is the major non-serum oviductal protein in most mammals. In the genome of Rattus norvegicus, Ovgp1 has been identified as a pseudogene. However, Mus musculus presents a functional gene. As ...

Swallowing disorders, which are generally underdiagnosed, affect the elderly, leading to a decreased quality of life and complications, including aspiration pneumonia and death. Understanding the neurophysiology of swallowing ...

The increase in life expectancy in recent years has resulted in a higher incidence of age-related diseases. Among these, osteoporosis and sarcopenia, collectively known as osteosarcopenia, have the most significant impact ...

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) macrophage therapy represents a promising new frontier in cancer immunotherapy, with the potential to overcome the limitations of CAR-T cell approaches, particularly in solid tumours. This ...

INTRODUCTION: Mutations in the gene encoding the protein containing the sterile alpha motif and the HD domain (SAMHD1) have been implicated in the occurrence of type I interferonopathies. SAMHD1 is also involved in blocking ...

The oral cavity serves as the gateway to the human organism, hosting a diverse community of microorganisms that coexist in a state of symbiosis. Disruption of this balance leads to oral dysbiosis, a condition associated ...
