White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers widely interpreted as caused by cerebral small vessel disease, yet emerging evidence suggests that a subset may have a neurodegenerative etiology. Current imaging methods have lacked the specificity to disentangle biological processes ...

The moderating roles of friendship and contextual variables on associations between social withdrawal and peer exclusion and growth curves of depressed affect were studied with a three-wave multilevel longitudinal design. Participants were 313 boys and girls aged 10-12 from Canada (n = 139), mostly of European and North African descent, and Colombia (n = ...

Whole-genome duplication (WGD) events are common across various organisms; however, the retention and evolution of WGD paralogs is not fully understood. Quantitative measure of protein redistribution in response to the deletion of their WGD paralog provides insight into sources of gene retention. ...

Gene duplication is common across the Tree of Life and contributes to genomic robustness. In this study, we examined changes in the subcellular localization and abundance of proteins in response to the deletion of their paralogs originating from the whole-genome duplication event, which is a larg ...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a common endocrine disruptor widely found in commercial products. Despite negative human health effects, its usage is not fully banned worldwide with ongoing human exposure from sources including dust, aerosol particles, and surfaces. Although attention has been paid to the a ...

Study objectives: Insomnia in older adults is associated with widespread benzodiazepine (BZD) and benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use, despite evidence that chronic use disrupts sleep regulation and cognition. Little is known about BZD/BZRA effects on NREM slow oscillations (SO), spindles ...

Understanding the impact of climate change on waterbirds, particularly those of conservation concern, is essential for their long-term management and effective conservation. In arid regions such as North Africa, wetlands of international importance have been affected by severe drought events, but ...
