SCLEROSTIN IS INVOLVED IN OSTEOGENIC TRANSDIFFERENTIATION OF VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS IN CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE-ASSOCIATED VASCULAR CALCIFICATION WITH NON-CANONICAL WNT SIGNALING

Vascular calcification is prominent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality in the CKD population.However, the mechanism underlying CKD-associated vascular calcification remains unclear.To identify potential therapeutic targets, a 5/6 nephrectomy rat model was established by feeding of a h

Abstract Background Searching a database of protein structures for matches to a query structure, or occurrences of a structural motif, is an important task in structural biology and bioinformatics.While there are many existing methods for structural similarity searching, faster and more accurate approaches are still required, and few current method

This study shows results of laboratory experiments on stored soft white wheat infested with two stored pest species: rice RYE FLAKES ORG weevil - Sitophilus oryzae (L.), and red flour beetle - Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), treated with different mixtures of Diatomaceus earth (DE) and pyrethrins (Diatect V, Diatect II, Bug-B-Gon, Perma-Guard D-20 ),

Supervised learning, such as regression and classification, is an essential tool for analyzing modern high-throughput sequencing data, for example in microbiome research.However, due to the compositionality and sparsity, existing techniques are often inadequate.Either Mirrorless Lens they rely on extensions of the linear log-contrast model (which a
