We tested sex-smoking interaction in association with lung cancer risk within a population-based case-control study, the Environment and Genetics in Lung Cancer Etiology (EAGLE) Study (Lombardy, Italy, 2002–2005).

The aim of present study was to evaluate the expression of IL17A and occurrence of the IL17A (rs2275913), IL17F (rs763780) and IL23R (rs11209026) gene polymorphisms in different clinical forms or…

There are sex-related differences in circadian rhythms with women having shorter intrinsic periods and earlier phase of both temperature and melatonin rhythms relative to men.

There are sex differences in sleep behavior with women reporting more sleep problems and a poorer sleep quality than men across a wide age range.

Here we describe a new G1 mutant from an ancient family of apicomplexan protozoans. Toxoplasma gondii temperature-sensitive mutant 12-109C6 conditionally arrests in the G1 phase due to a single point mutation in…

Two new monacolin analogs, monacolins O (1) and P (2), along with three known analogs, have been isolated from the ethanolic extract of Monascus purpureus-fermented rice.

Unfortunately, in our work using this atlas, we have encountered several substantial problems in terms of (a) correctness of spatial orientation and (b) correctness of white matter tract labels.

We describe here the isolation and characterization of an X. fastidiosa DSF (XfDSF) as 2(Z)-tetradecenoic acid. This compound was isolated both from recombinant Erwinia herbicola expressing X. fastidiosa rpfF and…

Here, multimodal imaging, incorporating structural MRI, MRS, and DWI, was used in rats exposed to binge ethanol to provide insight into a mechanism of reversible ventricular enlargement.

Andrew D. Krystal, MD, MS, gathered a panel of experts in the area of the sleep-wake cycle and insomnia to review recent research and advances in understanding, current treatments for…
