We analyzed four families that presented with a similar condition characterized by congenital microcephaly, intellectual disability, progressive cerebral atrophy, and intractable seizures. We show that recessive mutations in the ASNS gene are responsible for this syndrome. Two of the identified miss...

BACKGROUND: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mixed disorder with the highly irregular course, inconsistent response to treatment and has no well-known mechanism for the pathophysiology. Major causes of depression are genetic, neurobiological, and environmental. However, over the past few years, ...

The UV radiation assisted photocatalytic decolorization/degradation kinetics of an anionic dye erythrosine (ER), has been studied over TiO2 and ZnO surfaces. Since adsorption is the prerequisite condition for decolorization/degradation of dye molecules in presence of heterogeneous catalysis, the Lan...

The electrocatalytic reduction of NO3− in neutral medium was investigated at Cuelectro-deposited Pt electrodes. Inherently, the fabricated Pt–Cu electrode surface contains Cu (I) and Cu (II) oxides. The presence of these oxides decreases the efficiency of the electrode pertaining to nitrate reductio...

BACKGROUND: The alterations of biological markers are thought to be effective tools to understand the pathophysiology and management of major depressive disorder (MDD). A lot of researches has implied many markers for depression, but any of them fully discovered the association between the markers a...

Dominant mutations in PIEZO2, which codes for the principal mechanotransduction channel for proprioception and touch sensation, have been found to cause different forms of distal arthrogryposis. Some observations suggest that these dominant mutations induce a gain-of-function effect on the channel. ...
