Abstract Study question Dose the follicular fluid-derived exosomes rejuvenate ovarian aging? Summary answer Follicular efficiently rescued function in aged mice, which was achieved via transfer of miR-320-3p to granulosa cells and subsequent Foxq1 inhibition. What is known already The ovary enters malfunctional aging phase earlier faster than other organs systems. Ovarian mainly characterized b...

This is a set of lecture notes used in a course on model theory at Virginia Commonwealth University (Math 591 Topics: Logic and Mathematical Structures), which I taught jointly with Sean Cox in the spring of 2014. Most of the material contained in these notes can be found in the following sources. References: • Chang and Keisler. Model Theory, Studies in Logic and the Foundations of Mathematics...

A retrospective controlled study using data from the Cardiff Births Survey examined a possible relation between oxytocin administration to induce or accelerate labour and the subsequent development of neonatal jaundice. Among 10 591 infants born in Cardiff between 1970 and 1972 the incidence of neonatal jaundice was higher in infants born after oxytocin administration than among others. Analysi...

A fosmid library with inserts containing approximately 40 kb of marine bacterial DNA (J. L. Stein, T. L. Marsh, K. Y. Wu, H. Shizuya, and E. F. DeLong, J. Bacteriol. 178:591-599, 1996) yielded four clones with 16S rRNA genes from the order Planctomycetales. Three of the clones belong to the Pirellula group and one clone belongs to the Planctomyces group, based on phylogenetic and signature nucl...
