Pheromone communication relies on highly specific signals sent and received between members of the same species.However, how pheromone specificity is determined in moth olfactory circuits remains unknown.Here we provide the first glimpse into the mechanism that generates this specificity in Ostrinia nubilalis.In Ostrinia nubilalis it was found that

Objective:.Healthcare quality measures have a central role in monitoring and incentivizing the quality of surgical care.Payors and other stakeholders rely on consensus-based entities (CBEs) for the rigorous, independent evaluation and endorsement of quality measures.The aim of this study is to catalog current CBE-endorsed, surgery-related quality m

Abstract Background Microarray profiling has the potential to illuminate the molecular processes that govern the phenotypic characteristics of porcine skeletal muscles, such as hypertrophy or atrophy, and the expression of specific fibre types.This information is not only important for understanding basic muscle biology but also provides underpinni

The enteropathogenic Yersinia genus is commonly detected in wildlife including wild boars.Difficulties in its cultivation may hamper subsequent epidemiological studies and outbreak investigations.Multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis (MLVA) of Yersinia (Y.) enterocolitica and Y.pseudotuberculosis has proven useful in source attribut

A variety of circumstantial evidence from humans has implicated the B cell antigen receptor (BCR) in the genesis of B cell lymphomas.We generated mouse models designed to test this possibility directly, and we found that both the constitutive and antigen-stimulated state of a clonal BCR affected the rate and outcome of lymphomagenesis initiated by
