Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are widely applied to identify susceptibility loci for a variety of diseases using genotyping arrays that interrogate known polymorphisms throughout the genome.A particular strength of GWAS is that it is unbiased with respect to specific genomic elements (e.g., coding or regulatory regions of genes), and it ha

The increasing threat of heat stress in agriculture, fueled by the relentless rise in global temperatures, presents a formidable challenge for vegetable crops.High-temperature stress instigates intricate morphological, anatomical, and physiological changes in vegetables, resulting in a noticeable decline in yield and an overall compromise in qualit

This study aims to assess the prevalence of stress and burnout among preclinical medical students in a private university in Beirut, Lebanon, and evaluate the association between extracurricular involvement and stress and burnout relief in preclinical medical students.A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a random sample of 165 preclinical medi

Hybrid fiber composite is a combination of two or more types of fiber that can be based on the architecture or type of the reinforcement.In this study, smoothly spun agave sisalana and cotton yarn were woven to produce sisal-cotton hybrid fabric.The sisal-cotton hybrid fabric (S) was combined with woven glass fabric (FG) to produce hybrid fiber rei

Mechanosensory hair cells of the zebrafish lateral line regenerate rapidly following damage.These renewed hair cells arise from the proliferation of surrounding support cells, which undergo symmetric division to produce two hair cell daughters.Given the continued regenerative capacity of the lateral line, support cells presumably have the ability t
