Potential applications of reproductive and molecular genetic technologies in the selective breeding of aquaculture species [PDF]
The use of reproductive and genetic technologies can increase the efficiency of selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. Four technologies are considered, namely: marker-assisted selection, DNA fingerprinting, in-vitro fertilization, and ...

Determination of ADP/ATP translocase isoform ratios in malignancy and cellular senescence
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.The individual functions of three isoforms exchanging ADP and ATP (ADP/ATP translocases; ANTs) on the mitochondrial membrane remain unclear. We developed a method for quantitatively differentiating highly similar human ANT1, ANT2, and ANT3 using parallel reaction monitoring. This method allowed us to assess changes in translocase levels during cellular

High spatially sensitive quantitative phase imaging assisted with deep neural network for classification of human spermatozoa under stressed condition [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Sperm cell motility and morphology observed under the bright field microscopy are the only criteria for selecting particular sperm cell during Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Several factors such as, oxidative stress, cryopreservation, heat, smoking and alcohol consumption, are negatively ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Breast cancer metastasis is associated with myeloid cell dysregulation and the lung‐specific accumulation of tumor‐supportive Gr1+ cells. Gr1+ cells support metastasis, in part, through a CHI3L1‐mediated mechanism, which can be targeted and inhibited with cargo‐free, polymeric nanoparticles.

Digital Modeling of Massage Techniques and Reproduction by Robotic Arms [PDF]
arXivThis paper explores the digital modeling and robotic reproduction of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) massage techniques. We adopt an adaptive admittance control algorithm to optimize force and position control, ensuring safety and comfort. The paper analyzes key TCM techniques from kinematic and dynamic perspectives, and designs robotic systems to ...

Global stability of epidemic models with imperfect vaccination and quarantine on scale-free networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 Public health services are constantly searching for new ways to reduce the spread of infectious diseases, such as public vaccination of asymptomatic individuals, quarantine (isolation) and treatment of symptomatic individuals. Epidemic models have a long history of assisting in public health planning and policy making.
