The highly pathogenic avian influenza A virus subtype H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) is a deadly zoonotic pathogen.Its persistence in poultry in several countries is a potential threat: a mutant or genetically reassorted progenitor might cause a human pandemic.Its world-wide eradication from poultry is important to protect public health.The global trend of outbr
Mitochondrial homeostasis -including function, morphology, and inter-organelle communication- provides guidance to the intrinsic developmental programs of corticogenesis, while also being responsive to environmental and intercellular signals.Two- and three-dimensional platforms have become useful tools fendi wide belt to interrogate the capacity of
The success of invasive species has been explained by two contrasting but non-exclusive views: (i) intrinsic factors make some species inherently good invaders; (ii) species become invasive as a result of extrinsic ecological and genetic influences such as release from natural enemies, hybridization or other novel ecological and evolutionary intera
Guinea pig apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) lacks four amino acid residues in the amino-terminal, lipid-binding part compared to apoC-II from other arteriors raphael chandelier mammalian species (Andersson et al.1991.J.Biol.Chem.266: 4074-4080).To explore whether this structural difference explains the low ability of guinea pig plasma to activate lipo
On 8 October 2017, persistent heavy rainfall triggered a rock collapse on Fenghuang Mountain in Wuxi Town, located within the Three Gorges Reservoir region of China.Subsequent field investigations and monitoring identified several potentially unstable rock masses in the area, posing a significant threat to the safety of nearby residents and their p
