Background Maternal mortality is unacceptably high in some countries of the world, including Ethiopia. Access to skilled delivery is one of the prevention methods for maternal and neonatal deaths. How...
Decoding oncogenic secrets of regulator of chromosome condensation 1: A breakthrough mechanistic evidence from breast and lung cancer models
The Regulator of Chromosome Condensation 1 (RCC1), a master regulator of cell cycle progression, chromatin structure, and nuclear transport, emerges as a powerful driver of cancer progression. Elevate...
Computation of mixed resolvability for a circular ladder and its unbounded nature
Let Γ = Γ(V ,E) be a simple, planar, connected, and undirected graph. The article primarily concentrates on a category of planar graphs, detailing the explicit identification of each member within thi...
Infection model of THP-1 cells, growth dynamics, and antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical Mycobacterium abscessus isolates from cystic fibrosis patients: Results from a multicentre study
Mycobacterium abscessus (MABS) is an emerging pathogen causing severe infections, particularly in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. A prospective multicentre study included CF patients from four hospital...
Comprehensive assessment of the physical and health features of the threatened Araguaian River dolphin Inia araguaiaensis

Gradients in signal complexity of sleep-wake intracerebral EEG
Spatial variation in the morphology of the electroencephalogram (EEG) over the head is classically described. Ultimately, location-dependent variation in EEG must arise from the cytoarchitectural and...
An updated compendium and reevaluation of the evidence for nuclear transcription factor occupancy over the mitochondrial genome
In most eukaryotes, mitochondrial organelles contain their own genome, usually circular, which is the remnant of the genome of the ancestral bacterial endosymbiont that gave rise to modern mitochondri...
