Blood-based gene expression as non-lethal tool for inferring salinity-habitat history of European eel (Anguilla anguilla) [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
The European eel is a facultative catadromous species, meaning that it can skip the freshwater phase or move between marine and freshwater habitats during its continental life stage. Otolith microchemistry, used to determine the habitat use of eel or its

Comparative evaluation of otolith and fin ray as tools for assessing population differentiation in Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus). [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus Mitchill, 1815) is a long-lived, anadromous species known for its extensive migrations between freshwater and marine habitats throughout its life.

From the Soft to the Hard: Changes in Microchemistry During Cell Wall Maturation of Walnut Shells

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The walnut shell is a hard and protective layer that provides an essential barrier between the seed and its environment. The shell is based on only one unit cell type: the polylobate sclerenchyma cell. For a better understanding of the interlocked walnut

Systemic cytokines drive conserved severity-associated myeloid responses across bacterial and viral infections [PDF]

Communications Biology
Both bacterial and viral infections can trigger an overwhelming host response, leading to immunopathology and organ dysfunction. Multiple studies have reported dysregulated myeloid cell states in patients with bacterial sepsis or severe SARS-CoV-2 ...

Otolith Microchemistry Assessment: Evidence of Migratory Coilia nasus of Yangtze River Living in the Shengsi Sea Area

Fishes, 2022
At present, the resources of anadromous fish in the world are drastically reduced and one of the solutions to promote its recovery may be to identify and protect its feeding grounds.

Twist and lock: nutshell structures for high strength and energy absorption

Royal Society Open Science, 2021
Nutshells achieve remarkable properties by optimizing structure and chemistry at different hierarchical levels. Probing nutshells from the cellular down to the nano- and molecular level by microchemical and nanomechanical imaging techniques reveals ...

Copper-Induced Ionoregulatory Disturbance, Histopathology, and Transcriptome Responses in Freshwater Mussel (Anodonta woodiana) Gills

Fishes, 2023
Copper (Cu) contamination has become a severe problem in freshwater environments worldwide. The freshwater mussel Anodonta woodiana is used as a unique bioindicator to monitor Cu contamination in freshwater environments. However, Cu toxicity and response

Lysophosphatidic acid species are associated with exacerbation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2021
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations are heterogenous and profoundly impact the disease trajectory. Bioactive lipid lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) has been implicated in airway inflammation but the significance of LPA in ...
