(2016-09-07)
The original version of the manuscript [1] contained an incorrectly named Criollo gene ID on chromosome 1 in the first sentence, under the subheading “Organization of PR gene families into tandem arrays”. The second gene ...
Global, regional, and national incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability for 310 diseases and injuries, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015
(2016-10-08)
Background Non-fatal outcomes of disease and injury increasingly detract from the ability of the world’s population to live in full health, a trend largely attributable to an epidemiological transition in many countries ...
Global, regional, and national comparative risk assessment of 79 behavioural, environmental and occupational, and metabolic risks or clusters of risks, 1990–2015: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2015

Anti-lipid antibody in M. tuberculosis infection--basis for a new biomarker-based test to monitor treatment response
(2011-01-01)
Tuberculosis (TB) faces difficult challenges for its treatment and control. Both the diagnosis of TB and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) drug susceptibility testing take weeks and clinicians often do not know ...
Pervasive effects of a dominant foliar endophytic fungus on host genetic and phenotypic expression in a tropical tree
(2014-09-12)
It is increasingly recognized that macro-organisms (corals, insects, plants, vertebrates) consist of both host tissues and multiple microbial symbionts that play essential roles in their host’s ecological and evolutionary ...

Chromatin-bound oxidized α-synuclein causes strand breaks in neuronal genomes in in vitro models of Parkinson’s disease
(2017-01-01)
Alpha-synuclein (α-Syn) overexpression and misfolding/aggregation in degenerating dopaminergic neurons have long been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD). The neurotoxicity of α-Syn is enhanced by iron (Fe) and other ...
