While no additional definitive oncocytoma-MTSCC collision tumor cases were identified, 2 cases with entrapped tubules within the central scar of the oncocytoma that possessed some features of MTSCC were encountered, raising the differential diagnosis of oncocytoma-MTSCC collision tumors versus ...
Correspondingly, the knockdown of LvCTL7 using double-stranded RNA interference lowered the expression levels of genes (ALF, IMD, and LvCTL5) involved in anti-bacterial protection (p < 0.05). LvCTL7's role in L. vannamei's innate immune response against Vibrio infection was characterized by ...
BLOCK-3, which comprised mixing Solid-PRF fragments with DBBM followed by the addition of Liquid-PRF, demonstrated by far the fastest solidification time into a PRF block graft when compared to the other groups, while the BLOCK-1 never truly solidated. The solidification time of BLOCK-3 and ...
However, our blastp search of the proteins encoded in seven Plantae plastid genomes (Supplementary Table S2; see meth- ods) versus all bacterial sequences in GenBank suggests that most plastid protein-encoding genes are of cyanobacterial origin (. 90% in Cyanophora paradoxa, Pyropia yezoensis and...
Studies of photosynthetic eukaryotes have revealed that the evolution of plastids from cyanobacteria involved the recruitment of non-cyanobacterial proteins. Our phylogenetic survey of >100 Arabidopsis nuclear-encoded plastid enzymes involved in amino
Innovative green, eco-friendly, and biologically derived hydrogels for non-load bearing bone sites were conceived and produced. Natural polysaccharides (copolymers of sodium D-mannuronate and L-guluronate) with natural polypeptides (gelatin) and bioactiv
In this study, the hydrodynamic performance of a dual-OWC system comprised of two heave-only and onshore stationary units was investigated numerically, using the open source package OpenFOAM. The influences of the front (𝑏1b1) and rear (𝑏2b2) chamber widths, the back-lip draught (𝑑...
With the aim of broadening the wave-frequency bandwidth of high-efficiency, a small-scaled dual oscillating-water-column (OWC) system consisting of two heave-only and onshore units was numerically investigated by a well-validated computational fluid dyna
