BACKGROUND: In all living organisms, DNA replication is exquisitely regulated in a wide range of growth conditions to achieve timely and accurate genome duplication prior to cell division. Failures in this regulation cause DNA damage with potentially disastrous consequences ...

Pathological cardiac remodeling in response to sustained pressure overload is a pivotal process in the progression of heart failure (HF), yet the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, limiting therapeutic development. Here, we identify serine/threonine kinase 39 (STK39) ...

Melatonin (MT), a neurohormone synthesized and secreted primarily by the pineal gland, is of vital function to animal reproduction. However, the effect of MT treatment on porcine immature Sertoli cells (iSCs) remains unclear. Here, MT treatment (10 nM, 36 h) could elevate mitochondrial function a...

In plant ecology, biochemical analyses of bryophytes and vascular plants are often conducted on dried herbarium specimen as species typically grow in distant and inaccessible locations. Here, we present an automated in silico compound classification framework to annotate metabolites using an unta...
