Fused in sarcoma (FUS) is a RNA/DNA protein involved in multiple nuclear and cytoplasmic functions including transcription, splicing, mRNA trafficking, and stress granule formation. To accomplish these many functions, FUS must shuttle between cellular compartments in a highly regulated manner. When shuttling is disrupted, FUS abnormally…[Read more]

However, observational studies have demonstrated inconsistent results about leptin variation during normal menstrual cycle, and the mechanisms involved in the interplay between leptin and the hormones of the HPG axis are largely unknown. This review focuses on leptin variation during normal menstrual cycles and its relation to the…[Read more]

Approximately 60% of the UK’s leisure horses are kept at livery yards under the management and oversight of a livery yard owner or manager (LYO/M), yet their role has received little research attention. This study used the COVID-19 pandemic as a lens through which to view LYO/Ms’ decisions around equine care and management at a time when changes…[Read more]

The application of blended learning approach improves student engagement, active learning and achievement of higher order analytical thinking. Despite that there is still no clear proof that use of computer assisted learning is better than traditional teaching in human anatomy. In this study, a model of collaborative learning strategy is applied,…[Read more]

5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is one of the most abundant and well-studied chemical DNA modifications of vertebrate genomes. 5mC plays an essential role in genome regulation including silencing of retroelements, X chromosome inactivation, and heterochromatin stability. Furthermore, 5mC shapes the activity of cis-regulatory elements crucial for cell fate…[Read more]
