Louse flies, common avian hematophagus parasites, may play a role in transmitting WNV; however, this role requires further examination.
Once again, the selfish gene is the puppeteer pulling the strings: we are all the Punch and Judy of our DNA, acting out our gene-transmitting roles.
In conclusion, our data suggest that SCFFBXO28 plays an important role in transmitting CDK activity to MYC function during the cell cycle, emphasizing the CDK-FBXO28-MYC axis as a potential molecular drug target in MYC-driven cancers, including breast cancer.
These findings suggest that type VI collagen has essential roles in transmitting mechanical and osmotic stresses from the ECM to the chondrocytes (Zelenski et al., 2015).
Human odorant-binding proteins (hOBPs) not only can bind and transport odorants in the surrounding environment for sensing smells, but also play important roles in transmitting lots of biomolecules in different organs.
To investigate canines carrying pathogens associated with human illness, we studied their roles in transmitting and maintaining pathogenic Yersinia spp. We examined different ecological landscapes in China for the distribution of pathogenic Yersinia spp. in Canis lupus familiaris, the domestic dog.
Bacteriophages are such elements, with well described roles in transmitting genotypes that drive microbial diversity and niche expansion by stable infection or lysogeny [36].
Mathematical modeling [7] and several epidemiological studies [2] [3] find that vulnerable groups such as female sex workers (FSW) and their clients, who have high rates of acquiring and transmitting HIV, play key roles in the spread of HIV and for maintaining HIV infection levels in the general population [8].
Protein kinases play pivotal roles in transmitting ligand-mediated signals through many different pathways.
An analysis of the communications revealed how different roles were transmitting different categories of information.
Although we cannot conclude that ticks are vectors or reservoirs of Roseomonas spp., their roles in transmitting the bacteria deserve further study.
