In the annual long-day plant Arabidopsis thaliana, suppressor of overexpression of constans1 (SOC1) integrates endogenous and environmental signals to promote flowering. We analyzed the function and regulation of the SOC1 homolog (Fragaria vesca [Fv] SOC1) in the perennial short-day plant woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca). We found that Fv SOC1 overexpression represses flower initiation unde...

To evaluate the clinical efficacy of monoclonal antibody (mAb) 3E10 Fv antibody-mediated p53 protein therapy, an Fv-p53 fusion protein produced in Pichia pastoris was tested on CT26.CL25 colon cancer cells in vitro and in vivo in a mouse model of colon cancer metastasis to the liver. In vitro experiments showed killing of CT26.CL25 cells by Fv-p53 but not Fv or p53 alone, and immunohistochemica...

A daily intake of 5 portions of fruit and vegetables (FV) is recommended for protection against non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Inadequate FV intake is a global problem but resource-poor countries like Tanzania are most deprived and constitute settings where little is known for informing public health interventions. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of inadequate FV intake, frequenc...

Background Plasma Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) circulates bound to factor V (fV) and Protein S (PS). Estrogen therapy decreases plasma TFPI and PS. TFPI, fV, and PS circulate within platelets, and are released upon activation to modulate thrombus formation. Objective Identify factors affecting the concentrations of plasma and platelet TFPI, fV, and PS. Methods Blood samples were o...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To explore clinical patterns, predisposing factors, psychosocial aspects and the possible pathogenesis in Functional Vomiting (FV) patients. METHODS Ten healthy subjects and 19 FV patients participated in this study. Gastrointestinal symptoms and psychological state were evaluated by questionnaires, including Zung self-rating anxiety and depression scale and Eysenck personalit...

Foamy viruses (FVs) are classified in the family Retroviridae, but recent data have shown that they are not conventional retroviruses. Notably, several characteristics of their particle replication strategies are more similar to those of hepatitis B virus (HBV) than those of typical retroviruses. Compared to conventional retroviruses, which require only Gag proteins for budding and release of v...

Fuel pollution is a significant problem in Antarctica, especially in areas where human activities occur, such as at scientific research stations. Despite this, there is little information on the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on Antarctic terrestrial biota. The authors demonstrate that the Antarctic mosses Bryum pseudotriquetrum, Schistidium antarctici, and Ceratodon purpureus, and the Antar...

The purpose of this study is to know the influence Islamic social reporting (ISR), Corporate Governance (ICG), Maqashid Syariah Index (MSI) on value firm, and role firm in moderating ISR, ICG, MSI firm. difference with previous research has only ICG companies by size as moderation variables. data analysis technique used includes descriptive analysis, classical assumption test, linear regression...

Based on advances in acquisition, storage, and dissemination technology, increasing amounts of multimedia content such as images, audio, video, or 3D models, become available. The Feature Vector (FV) paradigm is one of the most popular approaches for managing multimedia content due to its simplicity and generality. It maps multimedia elements from object space to metric space, allowing to infer...

The two murine retroviral restriction genes, Fv-4 and Akvr-1, are very similar in their effects, distributions, ranges of action, and phenotypes. Akvr-1 has been shown to segregate independently in backcrosses with a variety of retroviral restriction loci, including Fv-1, Fv-2, Ril-1, and Ril-2. An allelism test cross of FRG (Fv-4R) X LCRR (Akvr-1R) hybrids mated to AKR mice failed to produce a...
