Emerging roles of long noncoding RNAs in neurological diseases and metabolic disorders
(2015)
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a new class of transcripts that are in general longer than 200 nucleotides and that have no protein-coding potential. The vast majority of vertebrate genomes encode diverse and complex ...
Emerging Tools for Emerging Symbioses - Using Genomics Applications to Studying Endophytes
(2017)
Plants are typically colonized by numerous endophyte species symbiotically without any noticeable disease symptoms. These microbes are abundant, diverse and play critical ecological roles across natural and agricultural ...
The enigma of Balint's syndrome: complexity of neural substrates and cognitive deficits
(2015)
Bálint’s syndrome is named after the Hungarian physician who first reported a remarkable case of a man with complex visuospatial deficits following bilateral lesions within parietal and occipital cortex (Bálint, 1909). The ...
Epigenetics of B Cells and Antibody Responses
(2016)
Epigenetics is the study of changes in gene activity that are heritable but not caused by changes in the DNA sequence. By modulating gene activities, epigenetic changes regulate cell functions. They include DNA methylation, ...
Epigenetic Modifications and Viral Infections
(2015)
Epigenetics is defined as the study of modifications of the genome, heritable during cell division that does not involve changes in DNA sequences. Up to date, epigenetic modifications involve at least three general mechanisms ...
Epigenetics as a Deep Intimate Dialogue between Host and Symbionts
(2016)
Symbiosis is an intimate relationship between different living entities and is widespread in virtually all organisms. It was critical for the origin and diversification of Eukaryotes and represents a major driving force ...
Epigenetic Modifications Associated with Abiotic and Biotic Stresses in Plants: An Implication for Understanding Plant Evolution
(2018)
Alterations in gene expression are essential during growth and development phases and when plants are exposed to environmental challenges. Stress conditions induce gene expression modifications, which are associated with ...
Epigenetic pathways in PTSD: How traumatic experiences leave their signature on the genome
(2015)
This research topic focuses on epigenetic components of PTSD. Epigenetic mechanisms are a class of molecular mechanisms by which environmental influences, including stress, can interact with the genome to have long-term ...
Embodying the Self: Neurophysiological Perspectives on the Psychopathology of Anomalous Bodily Experiences
(2018)
Since the beginning of the 20th Century, phenomenology has developed a distinction between lived body (Leib) and physical body (Koerper), a distinction well known as body-subject vs. body-object (Hanna and Thompson 2007). ...
Embodied Cognition over the Lifespan and in Applied Settings
(2018)
While Embodied Cognition has now been accepted as mainstream in Cognitive Science, the study of its potential contribution to understding child developemnt and ageing, as well as its potential applications, is still in its ...
