SERUM HSF1 IS UPREGULATED IN ENDOMETRIOSIS PATIENTS AND SERVES AS A POTENTIAL DIAGNOSTIC BIOMARKER


Genomic selection improves response to selection in resilience by exploiting genotype by environment interactions

Genotype by environment interactions (GxE) are very common in livestock and hamper genetic improvement.On the other hand, GxE is a source of genetic variation: genetic variation in response to environment, e.g.environmental perturbations such as heat stress or disease.In livestock breeding, there is tendency to ignore GxE because of increased compl

Paradoxical role of reactive oxygen species in bone remodelling: implications in osteoporosis and possible nanotherapeutic interventions

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that affects both sexes and is the most common cause of fractures.Osteoporosis therapies primarily inhibit osteoclast activity, and are seldom designed to trigger new bone growth thereby frequently causing severe systemic adverse effects.Physiologically, the intracellular redox state depends on the ratio of

Experimental investigation on thermal performance of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and non-covalently functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes/transformer oil nanofluid

The study investigated the effect of adding covalently functionalized-hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-OH) and non-covalently-functionalized MWCNTs on the breakdown voltage and thermal properties of transformer oil in a rectangular chamber.The novelty of the present study is the use of covalently functionalized hydroxylated and no

Micro-RNA-Regulated SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) Gene Expression and Cytokinin Accumulation Distinguish Early-Developing Male and Female Inflorescences in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis)

Sexual differentiation of inflorescences and flowers is important for reproduction and affects crop plant productivity.We report here on a molecular study of the process of sexual differentiation in the immature inflorescence of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).This species is monoecious ROUND BRUSH and exhibits gender diphasy, producing male and femal
