Endometrial function is dependent on a tight crosstalk between the epithelial and stromal cells of the endometrium.This communication is critical to ensure a fertile Volumizing uterus and relies on progesterone and estrogen signaling to prepare a receptive uterus for embryo implantation in early pregnancy.One of the key mediators of this crosstalk
Simultaneous silencing of two different Arabidopsis genes with a novel virus-induced gene silencing vector
Abstract Background Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a useful tool for functional characterizations of plant genes.However, the penetrance of VIGS varies depending on the genes to be silenced, and has to be evaluated by examining the transcript levels of target genes.Results In this report, we report the development of a novel VIGS vector tha
Association between serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) polymorphisms and psychopathological symptoms in children and adolescents
Serotonin 2C receptors (5HT2C) are involved in serotonin-driven dynamic equilibrium adjustments responsible for homeostatic stability in brain structures that modulate behavior and emotions.Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from the serotonin 2C receptor gene (HTR2C) have been associated with several neurological and mental Stoneware Bowl diso
Sustainable Alternative Materials to Concrete Masonry Partition Walls: Light-Weight Wall Panel Using Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) and Shredded Waste Metalized Film Packaging
The amount of plastic waste produced yearly is significantly increasing.Approximately 300-400 million metric tons of plastic waste are produced yearly.One of the dominant plastic wastes is a metalized film, a shiny, non-homogeneous polymer used in packaging that is considered the least recycled.Meanwhile, partition walls in buildings are traditiona
