Olfaction,the sense of smell,is a fundamental trait crucial to many species.The olfactory bulb(OB)plays pivotal roles in processing and transmitting odor information from the environment to the brain.The cellular hete...
With the support by the National Natural Science Foundation of China,the research team led by Prof. Weng Zhi Ping (翁志萍) at the School of Life Sciences and Technology,Tongji University,found that piRNAs were involve...
PLHIV have decreased economic productivity both due to direct and indirect causes. Data from developed countries have shown that at the societal level, high costs ART are offset by increased productivity. We hypothesi...
We recently reported an unconventional mechanism by which miRNAs inhibit HIV-1 viral production. This occurs when miRNAs bind nonspecifically to the viral structural protein Gag, interfering with viral RNA-medi- ated ...
