The genetic analysis of development has revealed the importance of small sets of interacting genes in most morphogenetic processes. The results of gene interactions have so far been examined intuitively. This approach is largely sufficient when one deals with simple interactions, a feedback circuit for example. As more components become involved, however, it is difficult to make sure that the i...

ALTHOUGH University of Wisconsin (UW) solution remains the most commonly used for all intrabdominal organs, Celsior solution, widely utilized in clinical setting for the preservation of intrathoracic organs, has been recently proposed as a cold-storage solution for abdominal organs. One of the reasons for focusing on abdominal preservation with Celsior is to proceed with one solution for the pr...

The process of aging and escalating the failure all body organs has become center interest in contemporary science medicine. leading role phosphate-calcium tandem deficiency as a pacemaker metabolic senescence emerged recently. Most phosphates human are stored bones, which seem to play pivotal energetic processes. Bone metabolism combines physical activity with adaptive changes internal environ...

Abstract Exploration of cell viability and their regenerative capacity in postmortem tissues has a huge potential for tissue/organ transplantation therapies both human animals. Proliferative stem cells have been recovered from refrigerated skin tissue bovine, goat sheep, ligaments horses. However, it is not clearly known whether live proliferative can be visceral organs that stay comparatively ...

primary bud necrosis (pbn) in grapevine is a physiological disorder that leads to death of fruitful buds and yield loss. the aim of this study was to determine the changes in soluble sugars and starch and their relationship to the incidence of the primary bud necrosis in askari grapevine. experiment was conducted in a vineyard that the vines were 15 years old, with a head system, vines spaced 2...

climate changes and global warming are considered as very important challenges of sustainable development. carbon sequestration is the easiest and cheapest way to reduce the greenhouse gases, especially carbon which constitutes the largest portion of them. in the present study, the potential of carbon sequestration in four plant species of atriplex canescens, haloxylon persicum, artemisia siebe...

Pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductase (PLR) is a key enzyme in podophyllotoxin (PTOX) biosynthesis pathway, which catalyzes the conversion of pinoresinol into secoisolariciresinol, central precursor for PTOX biosynthesis. Podophyllum peltatum an important anticancer species, and content obviously different from various plant organs. Therefore, investigation PLR gene expression facilitates underst...

Females of many animal species store sperm for taxon-specific periods of time, ranging from a few hours to years. Female sperm storage has important reproductive and evolutionary consequences, yet relatively little is known of its molecular basis. Here, we report the isolation of a loss-of-function mutation of the Drosophila melanogaster Acp29AB gene, which encodes a seminal fluid protein that ...

Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII) is caused by beta-glucuronidase (beta-gluc) deficiency and results in lysosomal storage due to the inability to degrade glycosaminoglycans. Transfer of a beta-gluc gene into the liver reduces hepatic pathology as well as storage in other organs via uptake of secreted protein. A Moloney murine leukemia-based retroviral vector expressing the human beta-gluc cDN...
