Comparison between different selection indices in energy cane breeding
Authors: A.A.C. de Azeredo, L.L. Bhering, B.P. Brasileiro, C.D. Cruz,L.C.I. Silveira, R.A. Oliveira, J.C. Bespalhok Filho, E. Daros
Sugarcane breeding programs have been adapting to a new market demand: aside from high sucrose yield per hectare, the sector needs new cultivars with higher fiber percentages. The selection of sugarcane clones based on phenotype alone is a complex task. The selected clones should display high performance in a series of yield- .. Read More»

Red Sindhi cattle in Brazil: population structure and distribution
Authors: J.C.C. Panetto, M.V.G.B. Silva, R.M.H. Leite, M.A. Machado,F.A.T. Bruneli, D.R.L. Reis, M.G.C.D. Peixoto, R.S. Verneque
The Red Sindhi cattle breed was imported to Brazil in small numbers. Nowadays, the herds of this breed are distributed in the Northeast, Southeast and Midwest regions of the country. In this study, DNA samples of animals originating from 15 herds in the Northeast and Southeast regions have been analyzed to obtain the ancestry .. Read More»

A clinical study of bone mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration
Authors: D. Zhang
The efficacy of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMSC) on liver fibrosis in animal has been proven, but a few studies have been made in human body and few such researches in China. This study was designed to investigate the effect of BMSC treatment on hepatic fibrosis induced by hepatolenticular degeneration and the influenc.. Read More»

Interactions among methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) and cystathionine �²-synthase (CBS) polymorphisms - a cross-sectional study: multiple heterozygosis as a risk factor for higher homocysteine levels and vaso-occlusive episodes
Authors: F.M. Amaral, A.L. Miranda-Vilela, G.S. Lordelo, I.F. Ribeiro, M.B. Daldegan and C.K. Grisolia
High plasma homocysteine (Hcy) âÂ?Â?âÂ?Â?levels may be responsible for vaso-occlusive episodes and may have acquired and/or genetic causes. This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the role of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; C677T; A1298C) and cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS; T833C/844ins68, G919A) poly.. Read More»

Molecular marker-based genetic diversity analysis of scantly studied Brazilian accessions of a medicinal plant, Morinda citrifolia L. (noni)
Authors: P.N. Bordallo, A.M.R. Monteiro, J.A. Sousa and F.A.S. Arag�£o
Morinda citrifolia L., commonly known as noni, has been used for the treatment of various diseases for over two centuries. It was introduced and widely disseminated in Brazil because of its high market value and ease of adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of the country. The aim of this study was to estimate the gen.. Read More»

Inhibition of miR-660-5p expression suppresses tumor development and metastasis in human breast cancer
Authors: Y. Shen, Y.F. Ye, L.W. Ruan, L. Bao, M.W. Wu and Y. Zhou
Breast cancer, which derives from the epithelium of the mammary glands, is one of the most common cancers diagnosed in women globally. To date, the authors of many studies have reported that the deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a crucial role in the occurrence, development, and metastasis of tumors. Here, we discovered..
