The status of the indigenous Southeast Asian apple snails belonging to the genus Pila is of concern due to their fast rate of population decline, possibly as a result of multiple factors including habitat Handheld Sweeper loss or disturbance and the introduction of globally-invasive apple snails, Pomacea spp.Conservation actions, including captive

Abstract Background Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a common disease and feeding mice a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet is a frequently used model to study its pathophysiology.Genetic and environmental factors influence NASH development and liver lipid content, which was studied herein using C57BL/6 J mice bred in two different anim

Plants have evolved various self-defense mechanisms against insect feeding.There are many reports regarding both direct and indirect defense mechanisms in seed-plant.However, only direct defenses on ferns were considered and the indirect defense mechanism has never been reported.In this study, it was observed that the fern Hypolepis punctata can at

Summary: HUWE1 is a HECT-domain ubiquitin E3 ligase expressed in various tissues.Although HUWE1 is known to promote degradation of the tumor suppressor p53, given a growing list Clean Makeup of its substrates, in vivo functions of HUWE1 remain elusive.Here, we investigated the role of HUWE1 in the female reproductive system.Homozygous deletion of H
