Blood flow is an important physiological endpoint to measure cardiovascular performance in animals.Because of their innate transparent bodies, zebrafish is an excellent animal model for assessing in vivo cardiovascular performance.Previously, various helpful methods for measuring blood flow in zebrafish larvae were discovered and developed.However,

Ginseng is a traditional herbal medicine in eastern Asian countries.Most active constituents in ginseng are prepared via fermentation or organic acid pretreatment.Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are released by most organisms from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and play central roles in intra- and inter-species communications.Plants produce EVs upon exposu

The south of Benin, a country in West Africa, is still home to remnants of dense forests that benefit from a particularly rainy sub-equatorial climate, with annual rainfall of up to 1,200 mm.These forest ecosystems are an integral part of the West African forest block, which stretches from Liberia to Togo.However, despite their richness and ecologi

Eukaryotic cells store neutral lipids such as triacylglycerol (TAG) in lipid droplets (LDs).Here, we have addressed how LDs are functionally linked to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).We show Display Cabinet that, in S.cerevisiae, LD growth is sustained by LD-localized enzymes.When LDs grow in early stationary phase, the diacylglycerol acyl-transfera

Objective To predict the cost and health effects of routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens compared with those of standard of care.Design Budget impact analysis was performed over the following 5 years.Data were primarily from sequencing results on clusters of multidrug-resistant organisms across 27 hospitals.Model inpu
