Optic nerve head drusen (ONHD) are typically benign hyaline and calcified concretions located within the optic nerve. see more Initially asymptomatic, they can increase slowly in size and number over time, and they can cause mechanical stress at the axons of the optic nerve and progressively lead to a loss of the visual field and papillary…[Read more]

Finally, we further integrated DE and network results to prioritize genes by its functional importance and identified a top-ranked novel gene, LOC107773232, as a potential regulator involved in the carotenoid metabolism pathway. Thus, the results and systems-biology approaches provide a new avenue to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying…[Read more]

he gene segments of influenza A(H5N8) viruses reassorted extensively between the outbreaks. In this study the 2014-15 polymerase complexes were found to be more active, which is counterintuitive with the observed higher virulence of the 2016-17 viruses. Interestingly, the 2014-15 polymerase complexes also induced higher levels of IFNβ. These…[Read more]

Emotion perception was assessed using emotion intensity ratings, valence and arousal ratings, speeded categorisation and paired similarity ratings. We report two key findings 1) across tasks, there was a strongly linear effect of caricaturing, with caricatured emotions (125%) perceived as higher in emotion intensity and arousal, and recognised…[Read more]
