Abstract Background Adolescence is a significant period for the gender-dependent development of lung function.Prior studies have shown that DNA methylation (DNA-M) is associated with lung function and DNA-M at some cytosine-phosphate-guanine dinucleotide sites (CpGs) changes over time.This study examined whether changes of DNA-M at lung-function-re
Aging is cashel tail bag a biological and multifactorial process characterized by a progressive and irreversible deterioration of the physiological functions leading to a progressive increase in morbidity.In the next decades, the world population is expected to reach ten billion, and globally, elderly people over 80 are projected to triple in 2050.
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the transfection potential of chitosan-coated, green-fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) (chi-MNPs) after encapsulation inside polyethylglycol (PEG)ylated liposomes that produced lipid-encapsulated chitosan-coated MNPs (lip-MNPs), and also to evaluate how these particles would distribute stickers l
Abstract Background Regulating the regional deposition of fat is crucial for improving the carcass characteristics of pigs.The intestine, as an important organ for lipid absorption and homeostasis maintenance, secretes various biological signals that participate in the crosstalk between the intestine and adipose tissue.Extracellular vesicles, as no
This study was undertaken to determine whether nematode destroying fungi can be used as indicators of soil disturbances.Soil samples were collected from an indigenous forest, maize/bean, napier grass, shrub and vegetable fields, which represented the main land use types in Taita Taveta district of Kenya.The fungal isolates obtained were grouped int
