Bone is a dynamic tissue that must respond to developmental, repair, and remodeling cues in a rapid manner with changes in gene expression.Carefully-coordinated cycles of bone resorption and formation are essential for healthy skeletal growth and maintenance.Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated cells that are responsible for breaking down bone by
Biological threats go beyond infectious disease epidemics.A biological threat should be construed as the effects of deployment of biological warfare or the occurrence of biological events of natural origin, which can have significant impact on the breach of security in the military, social, ecological and biological context.Biological factors are o
Abstract Background Analysis of the plethora of metabolites found in the NMR spectra of biological fluids or tissues requires data complexity to be simplified.We present a graphical user interface (GUI) for NMR-based metabonomic analysis.The "Metabonomic Package" has been developed for metabonomics research as open-source software and uses the R st
The article provides a survey of ideas and initiatives advanced by Christian and Muslim religious leaders Robes/Robes Sets and believers towards a mutual religious rapprochement in the past more than fifty years.On the Christian side, the process was started at the Second Vatican Council and developed with the great personal involvement of all pope
Abstract Background Most gene finders score candidate gene models with state-based methods, typically HMMs, by combining local properties (coding potential, splice donor and acceptor patterns, etc).Competing models with similar state-based scores may be distinguishable with additional information.In particular, functional and comparative genomics d
