RESEARCH INTEGRITY GUIDELINES IN THE ACADEMIC ENVIRONMENT: THE CONTEXT OF BRAZILIAN INSTITUTIONS WITH RETRACTED PUBLICATIONS IN HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCES

Research integrity guidelines in the academic environment: The context of Brazilian institutions with retracted publications in health and life sciences

Although research misconduct is responsible for most retractions in health and life sciences from authors affiliated with Brazilian institutions, there are Welding Blanket few studies evaluating retraction notices and research misconduct in the country.Understanding the form of research misconduct may share light on the weaknesses and strengths of

Differential phylogenetic expansions in BAHD acyltransferases across five angiosperm taxa and evidence of divergent expression among Populus paralogues

Abstract Background BAHD acyltransferases are involved in the synthesis and elaboration of a wide variety of secondary metabolites.Previous research has shown that characterized proteins from this family fall broadly into five major clades and contain two conserved protein motifs.Here, we aimed to expand the understanding of BAHD acyltransferase di

N(alpha)-acetyltransferase 40-mediated histone acetylation plays an important role in ecdysone regulation of metamorphosis in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum

Abstract Histone acetylation, a crucial epigenetic modification, is governed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), that regulate many biological processes.Functions of HATs in insects are not well understood.We identified 27 HATs and determined their functions using RNA interference (RNAi) in the model insect, Tribolium castaneum.Among HATs studied

Potential role of cinnamaldehyde and costunolide to counteract metabolic syndrome induced by excessive fructose consumption

Abstract Background One of the serious public health problems in the world is metabolic syndrome.It includes visceral obesity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and hypertension.As a contributor to almost all the classic signs of metabolic syndrome, fructose was the ideal choice.There are certain shortcomings with existing drugs for
