Burgeoning evidence has indicated that normal autophagy is required for nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor (Nrf2)-mediated cardiac Sushi Boat protection whereas autophagy inhibition turns on Nrf2-mediated myocardial damage and dysfunction in a setting of pressure overload (PO).However, such a concept remains to be fully established by a care
Seasonal dynamics and starvation impact on the gut microbiome of urochordate ascidian Halocynthia roretzi
Abstract Background Gut microbiota plays important roles in host animal metabolism, homeostasis and environmental adaptation.However, the interplay between the gut microbiome and urochordate ascidian, the most closet relative of vertebrate, remains less explored.In this study, we characterized the gut microbial communities of urochordate ascidian (
Bee assemblage in habitats associated with Brassica napus L.
ABSTRACTAssessments in agricultural crops indicate that alterations in the landscape adjacent to the crops can result in reduced productivity due to loss or low abundance of pollinating agents.In the canola crop, production is partially dependent on insect pollination.Therefore, knowledge of the faunal diversity within and near crop fields is key f
Low-Cost, Distributed Environmental Monitors for Factory Worker Health
An integrated network of environmental monitors was developed to continuously measure several airborne hazards in a manufacturing facility.The monitors integrated Dog Raw low-cost sensors to measure particulate matter, carbon monoxide, ozone and nitrogen dioxide, noise, temperature and humidity.The monitors were developed and tested in situ for thr
