Nitric oxide (NO) plays a pivotal role in a range of physiological processes, including cell signalling, angiogenesis and immune response, whilst aberrant NO levels have been implicated in ...

Despite global vaccination efforts, COVID-19 continues to pose significant risks, leading to severe complications and fatalities. These risks are driven by disrupted coagulation, impaired fibrinolysis ...

A research team performed a large-scale genome analysis of Japanese and European populations and discovered gene regions (genetic polymorphisms) related to allergic sensitization. Some of these ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...

Obesity is associated with multiple metabolic conditions, including insulin resistance, high blood sugar levels, hypertension, and lipid abnormalities. However, a significant proportion of technically ...

The figure illustrates the major categories of genes that may influence susceptibility to dental caries, organized by their biological functions and pathways. These groups include: (1) Enamel ...

Nutrigenomics or nutritional genomics comprises the study of how genes and nutrition interact, with gene variants predicting how an individual’s body will respond to specific nutrients. 1 Gene-diet ...

UC Davis scientists discovered how walnut trees switch between male and female flowering, a trait that’s been stable for 40 million years. The trees’ “sex timing” depends on two ancient gene variants ...
