The 16th International Conference on Bioinformatics (InCoB) was held at Tsinghua University, Shenzhen from September 20 to 22, 2017. The annual conference of the Asia-Pacific Bioinformatics Network featured six keynotes, ...

Controversial, sensational and often contradictory scientific reports have triggered active debates over the biological effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) in literature and mass media the last few decades. This could ...

The hallmarks of constitutive heterochromatin, HP1 and H3K9me2/3, assemble heterochromatin-like domains/complexes outside canonical constitutively heterochromatic territories where they regulate chromatin template-dependent ...

Population ageing is probably the single most important healthcare challenge the developed and developing world will face in the 21st century. This is because the later part of the human life course is marked by the emergence ...

In this study, we purpose alternative biomass-derived porous graphitic carbon from date seeds as anode material for a low-temperature lithium-ion battery. The as-obtained graphite was characterized by X-ray diffractometry, ...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are in great demand as energy storage systems applied in wide range of electronic devices. However, currently used commercial anodes have a limited capacity of 372 mAh g -1. Therefore, development ...

Myocardial infarction causes cardiac tissue damage and the release of damage-associated molecular patterns leads to activation of the immune system, production of inflammatory mediators, and migration of various cells to ...

Despite of the classical perception of an ultrasound as a diagnostic modality, it possesses a great potential for therapeutic applications. In the range of experimental studies it has been shown that the ultrasound is ...

Biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for antimicrobial and chemotherapeutic applications is a well-established process in microbial hosts such as bacterial, fungi, and plants. However, reports on AuNPs biosynthesis ...
