Stage-specific transcriptomic analysis reveals insights into the development, reproduction and biological function of allergens in the European house dust mite Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background House dust mites (HDMs) such as Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus are major allergy elicitors worldwide, yet their gene expression across developmental stages remains underexplored.

Cadmium-induced developmental alteration and upregulation of serine-type endopeptidase transcripts in wild freshwater populations of Chironomus plumosus

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020
Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, is a persistent environmental contaminant with irreversible toxicity to aquatic organisms. Chironomus plumosus, a natural species, is the largest sediment-burrowing aquatic midge in freshwater environments. In this study, we evaluated developmental defects in C. plumosus resulting from Cd exposure. In C.

Characteristics of the Intestine Extracts and Their Effect on the Crude Collagen Fibers of the Body Wall from Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Biology, 2023
Sea cucumbers Apostichopus japonicus will vomit their intestines during certain stimulations, and the collagen of the body wall will then be degraded. To define the effect of the sea cucumber intestine extracts on the body wall, the intestinal extracts ...

Characterization of endopeptidases from the midgut of Morimus funereus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) larvae [PDF]

Archives of Biological Sciences, 2008
Application of specific chromogenic substrates, use of class-specific inhibitors, and zymogram analysis enabled us to identify several peptidase classes in extracts of the midgut of Morimus funereus larvae.

Effects of Thyroxine Exposure on Osteogenesis in Mouse Calvarial Pre-Osteoblasts [PDF]

, 2013
The incidence of craniosynostosis is one in every 1,800-2500 births. The gene-environment model proposes that if a genetic predisposition is coupled with environmental exposures, the effects can be multiplicative resulting in severely abnormal phenotypes.

Fibroblast Activation Protein Specific Optical Imaging in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) is a cell surface propyl-specific serine protease involved in the regulation of extracellular matrix. Whilst expressed at low levels in healthy tissue, upregulation of FAP on fibroblasts can be found in several solid ...
