Digital mapping of Ghana’s soil properties and nutrients: performance of spline and weighted average approaches

Geoderma
Soil fertility is a critical factor in sustaining crop productivity and meeting the food demands of the world’s growing population. Assessing the fertility status of soil allows for the adoption of targeted agricultural practices to enhance crop yields ...

A Novel lnc-RNA, Named lnc-ORA, Is Identified by RNA-Seq Analysis, and Its Knockdown Inhibits Adipogenesis by Regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Cells, 2019
Obesity is closely associated with numerous adipogenic regulatory factors, including coding and non-coding genes. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a major role in adipogenesis.

Research Note: Increased myostatin expression and decreased expression of myogenic regulatory factors in embryonic ages in a quail line with muscle hypoplasia

Poultry Science, 2021
Genetic selection of quail for a low body weight for more than 80 generations established a low-weight (LW) Japanese quail line that has been previously characterized to have a muscle hypoplasia phenotype.

Skeletal Muscle Development and Regeneration

Stem Cells and Development, 2007
In the late stages of muscle development, a unique cell population emerges that is a key player in postnatal muscle growth and muscle regeneration. The location of these cells next to the muscle fibers triggers their designation as satellite cells. During the healing of injured muscle tissue, satellite cells are capable of forming completely new muscle

Cardiac muscle regeneration: lessons from development [PDF]

Genes & Development, 2011
The adult human heart is an ideal target for regenerative intervention since it does not functionally restore itself after injury yet has a modest regenerative capacity that could be enhanced by innovative therapies. Adult cardiac cells with regenerative potential share gene expression signatures with early fetal progenitors that give rise to multiple ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Characteristics and functions of DNA N(6)-methyladenine in embryonic chicken muscle development

Poultry Science, 2023
: DNA N(6)-methyladenine (DNA-6mA) is a new epigenetic mark in eukaryotes, the distribution and functions of which in genomic DNA remain unknown. Although recent studies have suggested that 6mA is present in multiple model organisms and is dynamically ...

Phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinase as a target of pathogens—friend or foe?

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This graphical summary illustrates the roles of phosphatidylinositol 4‐kinases (PI4Ks). PI4Ks regulate key cellular processes and can be hijacked by pathogens, such as viruses, bacteria and parasites, to support their intracellular replication. Their dual role as essential host enzymes and pathogen cofactors makes them promising drug targets.
