fibroblast growth factor 2 (fgf2) serves in the uterine endometrium during estrous presenting in the bovine mammary gland which is responsible to express interferon-t (ifnt), and is an important agent to encourage the continuation of pregnancy in the ruminants. significant associations have been found between genes affected by ifnt and genes that are responsible for milk production traits. seme...

Single spin qubits based on phosphorus donors in silicon are a promising candidate for large-scale quantum computer. Despite long coherence times, achieving uniform magnetic control remains hurdle scale-up due to challenges high-frequency field at the nanometre scale. Here, we present proposal flopping-mode electric dipole resonance qubit combined electron and nuclear states of double donor dot...

Despite continual improvement, morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remain high. The importance of chemokines in HSCT lies in their regulation of immune responses that determine transplantation outcomes. We investigated the role of recipient and donor chemokine system gene polymorphisms by using a candidate gene approach on the incidence of graft-versus-h...

BACKGROUND How to evaluate the quality of donation after cardiac death (DCD) kidneys has become a critical problem in kidney transplantation in China. Hence, the aim of this study was to develop a simple donor risk score model to evaluate the quality of DCD kidneys before DCD. METHODS A total of 543 qualified kidneys were randomized in a 2:1 manner to create the development and validation coh...

Nucleic acid testing (NAT) for HIV, HBV and HCV shortens the time between infection and detection by available testing. A group of experts was selected to develop recommendations for the use of NAT in the HIV/HBV/HCV screening of potential organ donors. The rapid turnaround times needed for donor testing and the risk of death while awaiting transplantation make organ donor screening different f...

BACKGROUND The present study explored the process of disclosure in gamete donation families in the UK. METHODS Interviews were conducted with 23 mothers and 15 fathers who had told their 7-year-old child about the nature of their conception. Twelve children were interviewed about what they understood and how they felt about their donor conception (DC). RESULTS The majority of families had d...

We previously constructed a congenic mouse, B6.S-D2Mit194-D2Mit311 (B6.S-2) with 27 Mb of SPRET/Ei donor DNA on distal chromosome 2 in a C57BL/6J background that captured an obesity quantitative trait locus (QTL). Mice homozygous for SPRET/Ei alleles at the donor region had decreased body weight and obesity-related phenotypes (Diament AL, Farahani P, Chiu S, Fisler J, Warden CH. Mamm Genome 15:...
