POTENTIAL MOSQUITO VECTOR ATTRACTION TO- AND FEEDING PREFERENCES FOR PIGS IN ROMANIAN BACKYARD FARMS


Regulatory Dynamics of Tet1 and Oct4 Resolve Stages of Global DNA Demethylation and Transcriptomic Changes in Reprogramming

Summary: Reprogramming somatic cells into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) involves the reactivation of endogenous pluripotency genes and global DNA demethylation, but temporal resolution of these events using existing markers is limited.Here, we generate murine transgenic lines harboring reporters for the 5-methylcytosine dioxygenase Tet1 an

Refractive behavior changes with six months daily wear of high and low oxygen permeability hydrogel contact lenses

Introduction: The investigation of myopia and soft contact lenses is not new.Many reports show that the wearing of silicone hydrogel lenses as opposed to conventional disposable hydrogel lenses results in little progression of myopia in the eyes wearing silicone hydrogels.Method: here Six subjects wore a silicone hydro-gel lens on one eye while the

Stability in skipping gaits

As an alternative to walking and running, humans are able to skip.However, adult humans avoid it.This fact seems to here be related to the higher energetic costs associated with skipping.Still, children, some birds, lemurs and lizards use skipping gaits during daily locomotion.We combined experimental data on humans with numerical simulations to te
