THERMOREGULATION IN HUMID CLIMATE-ADAPTED AND SAVANNAH BREEDS OF GOATS EXPOSED TO WEST AFRICAN COLD (HARMATTAN) SEASON

Thermoregulation in humid climate-adapted and Savannah breeds of goats exposed to West African cold (harmattan) season

The West African Dwarf (WAD) goats have hereditary dwarfism and are adapted to the humid climate.The study compared the cold tolerance of WAD and Savannah (Red Sokoto and Sahel) goats during the peak of the West African cold season in the Northern Guinea Savannah of Nigeria.A total of 18 adult non-pregnant, dry does comprising equal number of each

The Detrimental Action of Adenosine on Glutamate-Induced Cytotoxicity in PC12 Cells Can Be Shifted towards a Neuroprotective Role through A1AR Positive Allosteric Modulation

Glutamate cytotoxicity is implicated in neuronal death in different neurological disorders including stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.Adenosine is a nucleoside that plays an important role in modulating neuronal activity and its receptors have been identified as promising therapeutic targets for glutamate cytotoxicity.

CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis against sex pheromone biosynthesis leads to loss of female attractiveness in Spodoptera exigua, an insect pestt.

Virgin female moths are known to release sex pheromones to attract conspecific males.Accurate sex pheromones are required for their chemical communication.Sex pheromones of Spodoptera exigua, a lepidopteran insect, contain unsaturated fatty acid derivatives having a double bond at the 12th carbon position.A desaturase of S.exigua (SexiDES5) was pro

copyright- and amphetamine-regulated transcript promotes the differentiation of mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells into neural cells

Abstract Background Neural tissue has limited potential to self-renew after neurological damage.Cell Natural Hair Care therapy using BM-MSCs (bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells) seems like a promising approach for the treatment of neurological diseases.However, the neural differentiation of stem cells influenced by massive factors and interactio
