Candida albicans can cause two major types of infections: superficial infection and systemic candidiasis.C.albicans infects diverse host niches, owing to a wide range of virulence factors and attributes, such as morphological transitions and phenotypic switching.C.albicans uses glycolysis, followed by alcoholic fermentation or mitochondrial respira
Identification of asthma-related genes using asthmatic blood eQTLs of Korean patients
Abstract Background More than 200 asthma-associated genetic variants have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWASs).Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data resources can help identify causal genes of the GWAS signals, but it can be difficult to find an eQTL that reflects the disease state because most eQTL data are obtained
Prediction model of hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma in patients receiving antiviral therapy
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, which ultimately leads to liver cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remains a significant disease burden worldwide.Despite the use of antiviral therapy (AVT) using oral nucleos(t)ide analogs (NUCs) with high genetic barriers, the risk of HCC development cannot be complete
