CHANGES IN IMMUNE PARAMETERS (LYSOZYME, IGM, C3) IN EARLY LIFE STAGES AND BROODSTOCK OF SIBERIAN STURGEON, ACIPENSER BAERII

Changes in immune parameters (lysozyme, IgM, C3) in early life stages and broodstock of Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii

In the present study, lysozyme, immunoglobulin M (IgM), and complement component 3 (C3) were measured in unfertilized and fertilized eggs, two week post fertilization (WPF) larvae and 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 month post fertilization (MPF) juveniles and the female broodstock of Siberian sturgeon, Acipenser baerii Brandt.The lysozyme level was measured wi

A complete chloroplast genome of Rubia yunnanensis Diels (Rubiaceae), a traditional Chinese herb endemic to China

Rubia yunnanensis Diels 1912 tenga flip orb (Rubiaceae) is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine.We here assembled a complete chloroplast (cp) genome for R.yunnanensis using Illumina HiSeq reads.The genome is 155,108 bp in length.The genome contains 113 genes, including 79 protein coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and four rRNA genes.The large si

EGF receptor-targeted synthetic double-stranded RNA eliminates glioblastoma, breast cancer, and adenocarcinoma tumors in mice.

BACKGROUND: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most lethal form of brain cancer.With the available treatments, survival does not exceed 12-14 mo from the time of diagnosis.We hiboost 4k smart link describe a novel strategy to selectively induce the death of glioblastoma cells and other cancer cells that over-express the EGF receptor.Using a non-v

Quantitative genetic variation of metabolism in the nymphs of the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, inferred from an analysis of inbred-lines

Compared with morphological and life history traits, quantitative genetic variation of metabolic and related chainsaw file traits in animals has been poorly studied.We used flow-through VC0(2) respirometry and simultaneous activity measurement on nymphs of the sand cricket {Gryllus firmus) from inbred lines to estimate broad-sense heritability of f
