Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and genome-encoded microRNAs (miRNAs) silence genes
via complementary interactions with mRNAs. With thousands of miRNA genes identified …

Messenger RNA is a key component of an intricate regulatory network of its own. It
accommodates numerous nucleotide signals that overlap protein coding sequences and are …

Pain is emotionally detrimental and consciously avoided; however, it is absolutely crucial for
our survival. Pain perception is one of the most complicated measurable traits because it is …

Pain sensitivity varies substantially among humans. A significant part of the human population
develops chronic pain conditions that are characterized by heightened pain sensitivity. …

This Report summarizes the results of the activities of the LHC Higgs Cross Section Working
Group in the period 2014–2016. The main goal of the working group was to present the state…

Background All archaeal and many bacterial genomes contain Clustered Regularly Interspaced
Short Palindrome Repeats (CRISPR) and variable arrays of the CRISPR-associated (cas…

Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a key regulator of pain perception, cognitive function,
and affective mood. Three common haplotypes of the human COMT gene, divergent in …

The recent insight that brown adipocytes and muscle cells share a common origin and in this
respect are distinct from white adipocytes has spurred questions concerning the origin and …

The phenomenon of white fat "browning," in which certain white adipose tissue depots
significantly increase gene expression for the uncoupling protein UCP1 and thus supposedly …

We report on a study of inclusive particle production in pp-interactions at 400 GeV/c. The
data are based on 472 K reconstructed events recorded in the NA 27 experiment using the …
