To elucidate the involvement of cyclooxygenase (COX) in degradation of aggregated protein in diabetic glomeruli, we used streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice and aggregated Markers bovine serum albumin (a-BSA) as a model protein.There was a higher deposition of a-BSA in diabetic glomeruli compared to normal glomeruli 18 h after a-BSA injectio
Abstract Local seed systems that are developed, managed and maintained by farmers are a fundamental practice in smallholder crop production, supporting more than 80% of farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and feeding Adaptive Cutlery more than 70% of its population.The resilience of such systems is under threat from poverty, climate change, drought, incr
The genus Lonicera (Caprifoliaceae) is of great economical significance.It has been taxonomically studied frequently in history, while phylogenetic relationships intra the genus are still obscure.Here, we reported the first species complete chloroplast genome sequence in the section Isoxylosteum, Lonicera angustifolia var.myrtillus.It is 156,222 bp
Abstract White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an ancient grain legume that is still undergoing improvement of domestication traits, including vernalization-responsiveness, providing frost tolerance and preventing winter flowering in autumn-sowing Air Fresheners agriculture, and vernalization-independence, conferring drought escape by rapid flowering i
In the paper, a corporate feed antenna array with slot radiators and a layer of polarizing patches is designed to operate at Markers 350 GHz.The antenna is conceived as a silicon structure fully metalized by gold.Different methods for modeling thin gold layers at terahertz frequencies are compared and the optimum approaches are chosen depending on
