Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIVs), originating from the A/goose/Guangdong/1/1996 H5 subtype, naturally circulate in wild-bird populations, particularly waterfowl, and often spill over to infect domestic poultry.Occasionally, humans are infected with HPAVI H5N1 resulting in high mortality, but no sustained human-to-human transmissio
Interference with DGAT Gene Inhibited TAG Accumulation and Lipid Droplet Synthesis in Bovine Preadipocytes
Triacylglycerol (TGA) is the primary component of intramuscular fat.Expression of diacylglyceryl transferase (DGAT) determines the polyester differentiation ability of precursor adipocytes.The two DGAT isoforms (DGAT1 and DGAT2) play different roles in TAG metabolism.This study investigates the roles of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in signaling pathways related
Interstitial Lung Disease and Depression – A Questionnaire Based Study
Background and Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) causes depression due to its painful course in patients.The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of depression and find the association of depression with selected clinical variables in patients with ILD.Methods: This questionnaire based cross-sectional study was don
Genomic Analysis of the SUMO-Conjugating Enzyme and Genes under Abiotic Stress in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
SUMO-conjugating enzymes (SCE) and SUMO (Small Ubiquitin-Like Modifiers) genes are important components of SUMOylation.SCE has a crucial role during the SUMOylation process which 4G acts as a catalyst to transfer SUMO to the target protein.Comprehensive studies on SCE and SUMO have been performed in some plants, but studies on these genes remain li
The risks of sleeping "too much". Survey of a National Representative Sample of 24671 adults (INPES health barometer).
BackgroundA significant U-shaped association between sleep duration and several morbidity (obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular disease) and mortality risks has been regularly reported.However, although the physiological pathways and risks associated with "too short sleep" (PurposeTo explore socio-demographic characteristics and comorbidities of "lo
