GENE EXPRESSION PROFILING IN OVARIES AND ASSOCIATION ANALYSES REVEAL HEP21 AS A CANDIDATE GENE FOR SEXUAL MATURITY IN CHICKENS

Gene Expression Profiling in Ovaries and Association Analyses Reveal HEP21 as a Candidate Gene for Sexual Maturity in Chickens

The age of onset of sexual maturity is an important reproductive trait in chickens.In this study, we explored candidate genes associated with sexual maturity and ovary development in chickens.We performed DGE RNA-sequencing analyses of ovaries of pre-laying (P-F-O1, L-F-O1) and laying (P-F-O2, L-F-O2) hens of two sub-breeds of Ningdu Yellow chicken

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: Six subjects wore a silicone hydro-gel lens on one eye while the fr86

Investigation of the promising repurposed, computational, and anticancer candidates to co-deliver with cabazitaxel for hormonal-resistance prostate cancer

The novel antimicrotubular taxane called cabazitaxel was developed to avoid the primary mechanism of resistance for docetaxel, the first-line treatment for patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer (HRPC).However, its hus726040als214 ability to increase the survival rate for HRPC is limited to a few months, and cabazitaxel-resistant prostate
