Recently developed gene set analysis methods evaluate differential expression patterns of
gene groups instead of those of individual genes. This approach especially targets gene …

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the two major forms of inflammatory
bowel disease (IBD) and both diseases lead to high morbidity and health care costs …

PathVisio is a commonly used pathway editor, visualization and analysis software.
Biological pathways have been used by biologists for many years to describe the detailed …

Background One challenge facing biologists is to tease out useful information from massive
data sets for further analysis. A pathway-based analysis may shed light by projecting …

Background Biological pathways are a useful abstraction of biological concepts, and
software tools to deal with pathway diagrams can help biological research. PathVisio is a …

A primary goal of nutrition research is to optimize health and prevent or delay disease.
Biomarkers to quantify health optimization are needed since many if not most biomarkers …

Changes in transcript levels are assessed by microarray analysis on an individual basis,
essentially resulting in long lists of genes that were found to have significantly changed …

Medium-chain fatty acids (octanoic and decanoic acids) are well known as fermentation
inhibitors. During must fermentation, the toxicity of these fatty acids is enhanced by ethanol …

In this study, we present evidence of differential Th17 responses in human monocyte-
derived dendritic cells exposed to the pathogenic Candida albicans or the nonpathogenic …

Background The interleukin 10 knockout mouse (IL10-KO) is a model of human
