Association of the CCR5 gene with juvenile idiopathic arthritis [PDF]
The CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) has been shown to be important in the recruitment of T-helper cells to the synovium, where they accumulate, drive the inflammatory process and the consequent synovitis and joint destruction.

Preparation, Characterization, Photochromic Properties, and Mechanism of PMoA/ZnO/PVP Composite Film
A novel photochromic heteropolyacid-based composite film consisting of phosphomolybdic acid (PMoA), ZnO, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was fabricated by a sol–gel process.

The microbial-mediated functional potentials of soil can be reflected by the abundance of corresponding microbial functional genes (MFGs). Few studies have simultaneously examined the responses of multiple key MFGs involving soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (

Methanotrophs, which help regulate atmospheric levels of methane, are active in diverse natural and man-made environments. This range of habitats and the feast-famine cycles seen by many environmental methanotrophs suggest that methanotrophs dynamically ...

RNA interference is ineffective as a routine method for gene silencing in chick embryos as monitored by fgf8 silencing. [PDF]
The in vivo accessibility of the chick embryo makes it a favoured model system for experimental developmental biology. Although the range of available techniques now extends to miss-expression of genes through in ovo electroporation, it remains difficult

Wetlands are the largest natural source of terrestrial CH4 emissions. Afforestation can enhance soil CH4 oxidation and decrease methanogenesis, yet the driving mechanisms leading to these effects remain unclear.

Compound Microbial Agent Improves Soil Redox Status to Reduce Methane Emissions from Paddy Fields
Paddy fields are considered a major source of methane (CH4) emissions. Aerobic irrigation methods have proven to be efficacious in mitigating CH4 emissions in paddy cultivation. The promising role of compound microbial agents in refining the rhizospheric

Aquatic plant surface as a niche for methanotrophs
This study investigated the potential local CH4 sink in various plant parts as a boundary environment of CH4 emission and consumption. By comparing CH4 consumption activities in cultures inoculated with parts from 39 plant species, we observed ...

Characterization of C 1 -Metabolizing Prokaryotic Communities in Methane Seep Habitats at the Kuroshima Knoll, Southern Ryukyu Arc, by Analyzing pmoA , mmoX , mxaF , mcrA , and 16S rRNA Genes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Samples from three submerged sites (MC, a core obtained in the methane seep area; MR, a reference core obtained at a distance from the methane seep; and HC, a gas-bubbling carbonate sample) at the Kuroshima Knoll in the southern Ryuku arc were analyzed to gain insight into the organisms present and the processes involved

Peatlands are important sources of the greenhouse gas methane emissions equipoised by methanogens and methanotrophs. However, knowledge about how microbial functional groups associated with methane production and oxidation respond to water table ...
