Honey bees are a model system for the study of division of labor. Worker bees demonstrate a foraging division of labor (DOL) by biasing collection towards carbohydrates (nectar) or protein (pollen). The Reproductive ground-plan hypothesis of Amdam et al. proposes that foraging DOL is regulated by the networks that controlled foraging behavior during the reproductive life cycle of honey bee ance...

BACKGROUND The remodelling of the blood vasculature has been the subject of much research while rapid progress in the understanding of the factors controlling lymphangiogenesis in the ovary has only been reported more recently. The ovary undergoes cyclic remodelling throughout each menstrual/estrous cycle. This process requires significant vascular remodelling to supply each new cohort of growi...

Nematodes are vermiform animals of long and thin body and slender at the two extremities. They have great economic importance because many are plant parasitic and very difficult to erradicate once established in the soil. A prerequisite to combating their agricultural impact is correct identification of species. We present a preliminary study for constructing a computational procedure for nemat...

two-hundred and seventeen subjects underwent transvaginal ultrasound -17 (8%) had unilateral polycystic ovary (pco). twelve percent of subjects with unilateral scan-pea had oligomenorrhea, 24% were amenorrheic, 23% were hirsute and 29% had acne. biochemical parameters were compared between subjects with unilateral scan- pco and those with bilateral scan- pco (n=200) as well as a group of scan-n...

BACKGROUND Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) hold promise for application in adult stem cell-mediated regenerative medicine in bone remodeling and fracture repair. MSCs in vitro can be directed to osteogenic lineage by dexamethasone (DEX); however, the use of DEX is not practical in clinical settings because of adverse side effects such as glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. For identifying substa...

In this study mono and dual ovaries, which belonged to female individuals of different plant parasitic nematode species that were obtained from the quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) (Rosales: Rosaceae) cultivated areas in Sakarya Province (Turkey), classified. The total number 109 121 nematodes, taken soil, used 2016, July 2017, July, respectively. Overall body length (L), spear (Stylet) tail/dist...
