The endocrine and exocrine cells in pancreas originate initially from a group of apparently identical endoderm cells in the early gut.The endocrine and exocrine tissues are composed of islet/acinar and duct cells respectively.To explore the mechanism of pancreas cell fate decisions, we first construct a minimal mathematical model related to pancrea
The growth of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) has been extensively studied using electron microscopy.The ex situ structural behavior was examined to investigate the growth of the MWCNTs under different environments and pressures using electron microscopy.The arc discharge plasma technique was applied to synthesize the MWCNTs by evaporating c
5.7 procharger Fat storage is essential to the survival of many bird species, providing energy reserves, but can have an effect on locomotor performance with an associated potential increase in predation risk.In particular, the ability to initiate flight through jumping is critical to predator avoidance and may be influenced by changes in body mass
Clostridium perfringens type C (Cp) is one of the principal microorganisms responsible for bacterial diarrhea in neonatal and pre-weaning piglets.To better understand the molecular effects of Cp infection, we performed a genome-wide comparison of the changes in DNA methylation and gene expression in Cp infected resistant and susceptible piglets.We
