QUALITY-OF-LIFE ASSESSMENTS IN ZOO ANIMALS: NOT JUST FOR THE AGED AND CHARISMATIC


A case of Ustilago spp. infection identified by whole genome sequencing in a pediatric patient undergoing open-chest extracorporeal membrane oxygenation

Objectives: Patients undergoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) are susceptible to fungal infections, also from rare or emerging pathogens.We present a case of a 3-year-old male patient hospitalized for respiratory failure and POTAT subjected to open-chest ECMO support, with a fungal infection from a pathogen not identifiable by standard

Unacylated ghrelin rapidly modulates lipogenic and insulin signaling pathway gene expression in metabolically active tissues of GHSR deleted mice.

There is increasing Couples Embrace Pendant Necklaces evidence that unacylated ghrelin (UAG) improves insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis; however, the mechanism for this activity is not fully understood since a UAG receptor has not been discovered.To assess potential mechanisms of UAG action in vivo, we examined rapid effects of UAG on gen

YTH-RNA-binding protein prevents deleterious expression of meiotic proteins by tethering their mRNAs to nuclear foci

Accurate and extensive regulation of meiotic gene expression is crucial to distinguish germ cells from somatic cells.In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a YTH family RNA-binding protein, Mmi1, directs the nuclear exosome-mediated elimination of Toner meiotic transcripts during vegetative proliferation.Mmi1 also induces the formation of
