AGAMEMNON: an Accurate metaGenomics And MEtatranscriptoMics quaNtificatiON analysis suite
(2022)We introduce AGAMEMNON (https://github.com/ivlachos/agamemnon) for the acquisition of microbial abundances from shotgun metagenomics and metatranscriptomic samples, single-microbe sequencing experiments, or sequenced host ... -
Age related assessment of sugar and protein intake of Ceratitis capitata in ad libitum conditions and modeling its relation to reproduction
(2017)In the inquiry on the age related dietary assessment of an organism, knowledge of the distributional patterns of food intake throughout the entire life span is very important, however, age related nutritional studies often ... -
Age structure changes and extraordinary lifespan in wild medfly populations
(2008)The main purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that major changes in age structure occur in wild populations of the Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly) and that a substantial fraction of individuals survive to ... -
Age, sex, adult and larval diet shape starvation resistance in the Mediterranean fruit fly: an ecological and gerontological perspective
(2019)The ability of an animal to withstand periods of food deprivation is a key driver of invasion success (biodiversity), adaptation to new conditions, and a crucial determinant of senescence in populations. Starvation resistance ... -
Age-specific and lifetime behavior patterns in Drosophila melanogaster and the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata
(2006)Patterns of behavior were recorded every 10 min during a 2-h period each day from eclosion to death for individual Drosophila melanogaster (both sexes) and Ceratitis capitata (males-only) including walking, preening, ... -
An Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated hairy root transformation protocol for fenugreek
(2020)• This work describes a protocol for hairy root transformation of the medicinal crop legume fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.). Hairy root plant transformation mediated by Agrobacterium rhizogenes is an established ... -
Airborne algae and cyanobacteria: Occurrence and related health effects
(2011)Published information on airborne algae and cyanobacteria worldwide and the related human health effects is scarce. Since 1844, a total of 353 morphological taxa (genera or species) have been identified in aerobiological ... -
Alanyl-glutamine restores tight junction organization after disruption by a conventional peritoneal dialysis fluid
(2020)Understanding and targeting the molecular basis of peritoneal solute and protein transport is essential to improve peritoneal dialysis (PD) efficacy and patient outcome. Supplementation of PD fluids (PDF) with alanyl-glutamine ... -
Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
Alpha-actinin: A multidisciplinary protein with important role in B-cell driven autoimmunity
(2011)Alpha-actinin (α-actinin) is a ubiquitous cytoskeletal protein, which belongs to the superfamily of filamentous actin (F-actin) crosslinking proteins. It is present in multiple subcellular regions of both muscle and ... -
Alterations of microRNAs in solid cancers and their prognostic value
(2010)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are evolutionarily conserved, naturally abundant, small, regulatory non-coding RNAs that inhibit gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in a sequence-specific manner. Each miRNA represses the ... -
Altitude-dependent prevalence of canine granulocytic anaplasmosis in Romania
(2017)Canine granulocytic anaplasmosis (CGA) is an important tick-borne disease with worldwide distribution. The importance of this disease resides in the ability of Anaplasma phagocytophilum to infect humans and several animal ... -
Ammonia-induced inhibition of manure-based continuous biomethanation process under different organic loading rates and associated microbial community dynamics
(2021)Three Continuously Stirred Tank Reactors (CTSRs) were operating at steady state conditions with Organic Loading Rates (OLR) of 2.09, 3.024 and 4.0 g VS L−1 d−1. Glucose was used as the sole factor for increasing the OLR, ... -
Analysis of factors influencing the qualitative characteristics of equine synovial fluid
(2021)The objective of the present study was to investigate the viscoelastic properties in synovial fluid between normal horses and horses with naturally occurring OA and to detect factors affecting synovial fluid viscosity. In ... -
Ancestral Absence of Electron Transport Chains in Patescibacteria and DPANN
(2020)Recent discoveries suggest that the candidate superphyla Patescibacteria and DPANN constitute a large fraction of the phylogenetic diversity of Bacteria and Archaea. Their small genomes and limited coding potential have ... -
Anguillicola (Anguillicoides) crassus: Morphometric characteristics and pathogenicity in eels (Anguilla anguilla) in Greece
(2021)Anguillicola (Anguillicoides) crassus is a swimbladder nematode parasite of Anguilla anguilla (Linnaeus, 1758). The present study investigates the morphology and pathogenicity of A. crassus in European eel, as well as, the ... -
Animal abuse and mental health
(2018)Animal abuse is a serious problem in the interaction between human beings and animals. Animals can easily become victims of human aggression and other abnormal behavior. This is a review of current data on the relationship ... -
Annonacin promotes selective cancer cell death via NKA-dependent and SERCA-dependent pathways
(2018)In the healthcare sector, phytocompounds are known to be beneficial by contributing or alleviating a variety of diseases. Studies have demonstrated the progressive effects of phytocompounds on immune-related diseases and ... -
Anosmic flies: what Orco silencing does to olive fruit flies
(2020)Background: The olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae) is the most destructive pest of the olive cultivation worldwide causing significant production losses and olive fruit impoverishment, as its larvae feed exclusively on the ... -
Answer to controversy: miR-10a replacement approaches do not offer protection against chemotherapy-induced gonadotoxicity in mouse model
(2019)It is well known that chemotherapeutic agents may lead to premature ovarian failure and infertility. Therefore, fertility preservation is highly recommended for female cancer survivors. Despite the currently available ...
