Intramuscular fat (IMF) is an important trait influencing meat quality, and preadipocyte differentiation is a key factor affecting IMF deposition. Here we compared the transcriptome profiles of porcine intramuscular and subcutaneous preadipocytes during differentiation to gain insight into specific molecular and cellular events associated with intramuscular stromal vascular cell (MSVC) differen...

Cluster of differentiation (CD) 109 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface glycoprotein and a co-receptor for transforming growth factor β. The expression of CD109 has been detected in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung, esophagus, skin and gallbladder. The aim of the present study was to evaluate CD109 expression in penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC). CD109 expression in P...

OBJECTIVE To establish reproducible electron microscopic criteria for identifying the four major types of neuroendocrine tumors of the lung: carcinoid; atypical carcinoid; large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; and small cell carcinoma. METHODS Measurements were made on electron micrographs using a digital image analyzer. Sixteen morphometric variables related to tumor cell differentiation were...

When firms are heterogeneous, externalities within clusters can affect asymmetrically. These asymmetries at the firm level lead to a productivity effect cluster that has been overlooked thus far. We develop heterogeneous model where with different levels decide how much invest in market survival. With this model, we find differentiation between high-productivity investing survival and low-produ...

This study aimed to measure the differences in level of teachers’ classroom practices with gifted and average students at primary schools Kingdom Bahrain. The used descriptive method collect data from a sample 522 male female teachers (97 males, 455 females), representing population which was 5561 (1286 4275 females). instrument teacher’s used. It consisted six elements: asking questions thinki...

Maintenance of skin homeostasis requires meticulous regulation the induction, repression and degradation key signaling factors governing progenitor cell terminal differentiation programs. Deregulation these pathways is a hallmark barrier disruption often manifested in disease. Timed controlled orchestration networks involves ubiquitin ubiquitin-like proteins, as abnormal targeted or post-transl...

Cholesterol metabolism is particularly active in malignant, proliferative cells, whereas cholesterol starvation has been shown to inhibit cell proliferation. Inhibition of enzymes involved in cholesterol biosynthesis at steps before the formation of 7-dehydrocholesterol has been shown to selectively affect cell cycle progression from G(2) phase in human promyelocytic HL-60 cells. In the present...

background & objectives: the researcher clarified that β/globin gene cluster haplotypes in patients with sickle cell anemia provide useful population data as predictors of the disease severity, gene flow, and the origins of sickle cell mutation in this region. materials and methods: a total of 150 subjects was investigated in two different groups for five polymorphism restriction sites of t...

Certain filamentous nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria generate signals that direct their own multicellular development. They also respond to signals from plants that initiate or modulate differentiation, leading to the establishment of a symbiotic association. An objective of this review is to describe the mechanisms by which free-living cyanobacteria regulate their development and then to consider...
