Liver fibrosis is mediated by myofibroblasts, a specialized cell type involved in wound healing and extracellular matrix production.Hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the major source of myofibroblasts in the fibrotic livers.In the present Wall Art (Set of 3) study we investigated the involvement of CXXC-type zinc-finger protein 5 (CXXC5) in HSC acti
Transcription activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs) are custom-made bi-partite endonucleases that have recently been developed and applied for genome engineering in a wide variety of organisms.However, they have been only scarcely used in plants, especially for germline-modification.Here we report the efficient creation of small, germline-tran
The results of summer and winter surveys of a cave located in the marginal terrestrial part of the Lunny Ice Cap, the Alexandra Land, the westernmost island of the Franz Josef Land Archipelago, are presented.The cave on the Lunny Cap was partially surveyed in the summer of 2023.Due to the danger of collapses, the cave on the Lunny Cap was partially
Brucellosis remains a serious infection to human and animal populations in developing countries with detrimental effects on public health.The study aimed to Driftwood evaluate the occurrence of brucellosis in cow and buffaloes at Erbil Governorate, Iraq by detection anti-Brucella antibodies and isolation of Brucella species.A total of 265 blood sam
The lack of techniques for monitoring ship emissions all day and in all weather conditions to obtain real-time emission factor values is the main problem in understanding the characteristics of ship emissions, and there is still no perfect solution.In this study, a real-time measurement-modeling system was designed and implemented.The system was di
