Poly (3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) is a promising conductive polymer to be the next-generation electrode for medical purposes. However, PEDOT:PSS exhibits low conductivity (~1×10−3 S cm−1); hence, incorporating silver nanoparticles (SNP) with will improve electrical conductivity. This paper aims investigate properties differences between doped SNP-based film...

A genome wide-association study for production traits in cattle was carried out using genotype data from the 10K Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA) and the 50K Illumina (San Diego, CA) SNP chips. The results for residual feed intake (RFI), BW, and hip height in 3 beef breed types (Bos indicus, Bos taurus, and B. indicus × B. taurus), and for stature in dairy cattle, are presented. The aims were to di...

objective: we used sodium nitroprusside (snp), a nitric oxide (no) releasing molecule, to understand its effect on viability and proliferation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bm-mscs). materials and methods: this experimental study evaluated the viability and morphology of mscs in the presence of snp (100 to 2000 µm) at 1, 5, and 15 hours. we chose the 100, 1000, and 2000 µm concentr...

dear editor, the recent article by mohammadzadeh et al.[1] on the latest issue of this journal showed that the t allele +276g/t snp of adipoq gene is more associated with the increasing risk of coronary artery disease (cad) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. adipocytes were described in myocardial tissue of cad patients and their role recently discussed[2,3]. susceptibility to cad by polymorphis...

The objective of this study was to develop, using alternative algorithms, low-density SNP genotyping panels (384 to 12,000 SNP), which can be accurately imputed to higher-density panels across independent cattle populations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were selected based on genomic characteristics (i.e., linkage disequilibrium [LD], minor allele frequency [MAF], and genomic distance) in a ...
