The slime coat is a protective layer that prevents bacteria and parasites. It can be rubbed off by your hands or dried out if the axolotl is taken out of the water—so they’re a look, don’t touch kind of a pet! Lastly, axolotls are known to jump out of their tanks. A lid is ...
Food restriction during pregnancy can influence the health of the offspring during the adulthood. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of maternal food restriction (MFR) on the reproductive performance in female rat offspring from the f
Researchers have estimated that the martial eagle, one of the many types of eagles; whose eyes are more than twice in length as that of a human eye. They have an visual acuity of 3.0 to 3.6 times more than that of the humans. This great acuity enables the eagles to spot any potential...
They live in solitary most of the times and the mothers raise their babies alone without the help of a father. They give birth to 3 to 7 babies at once in the month of February. Racoons don’t hibernate but to store energy for winter, they eat extra food during autumn. Lifecycle Janua...
Hypothermia reduced the long term effect of shock wave exposure. Thus, we present an effective C. elegans model of long term effects of blast-related mild traumatic brain injury, as well as evidence of the merit of therapeutic hypothermia as a therapy option following blast exposure....
Among these compartments, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) plays a major role in processing proteins for modification and delivery to other organelles, whereas mitochondria generate energy in the form of ATP. Mitochondria and the ER form physical interactions, defined as mitochondria-ER contact sites (...
As greater numbers of us are living longer, it is increasingly important to understand how we can age healthily. Although old age is often stereotyped as a time of declining mental abilities and inflexibility, cognitive neuroscience reveals that older ad
and must be harvested from the frogs every time through a surgical procedure. The short time limits the number of experiments that can be performed on a typical oocyte. Since the maintenance of a liveX. laevisfrog specimen requires considerable effort and upkeep, many labs opt for commercial so...
healthspan and lifespan extension, dating back to the report on the positive impact that human growth hormone (HGH) has on the lean body mass when administered in late adulthood [13] that addresses the former, and a report of dwarf, growth hormone (GH)-deficient mice, addressing the latter...
