Human endogenous retroviruses are remnants of ancient germline infections that make up approximately 8% of the modern human genome.The HERV-K (HML-2) family is one of the most recent entrants into the human germline, these viruses appear to be transcriptionally active, and HERV-K viral like particles (VLPs) are found in cell lines from a number of
Crop plants have coevolved phytohormone-mediated defenses to combat and/or repel their colonizers.The present study determined the effects of jasmonic acid (JA) accumulation during aphid infestation on the preference and performance of Sitobion miscanthi Takahashi (Hemiptera: Aphididae), and its potential role in fine-tuning hormone-dependent respo
Combinations of the well-known antineoplastic agents 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), cisplatin, and paclitaxel are employed to increase radiotherapy/immunotherapy efficacy against persistent and resistant tumors.However, data remains needed on the hormetic, chronic, and long-term side effects of these aggressive combination chemotherapies.Here we investigat
