A copper sulfate and hydroxylysine treatment regimen for enhancing collagen cross-linking and biomechanical properties in engineered neocartilage
(2013)
The objective of this study was to improve the biomechanical properties of engineered neotissues through promoting the development of collagen cross-links. It was hypothesized that supplementing medium with copper sulfate ...
Microsatellite analysis of olive fly populations in the mediterranean indicates a westward expansion of the species
(2005)
Bactrocera oleae is the major insect pest of the olive fruit. Twelve microsatellite loci isolated from the genome of this insect were used in a Mediterranean-wide population analysis. These loci were highly polymorphic ...
The bacterial flora in the teat duct of ewes can protect against and can cause mastitis
(2007)
We studied the possible effects of bacterial populations within the teat duct, in the pathogenesis of ovine mastitis. In experiment I, 32 ewes were allocated into group A (ewes from which we isolated (+++ growth) ...
Unravelling the relationship between animal growth and immune response during micro-parasitic infections
(2009)
Background: Both host genetic potentials for growth and disease resistance, as well as nutrition are known to affect responses of individuals challenged with micro-parasites, but their interactive effects are difficult to ...
Induced Collagen Cross-Links Enhance Cartilage Integration
(2013)
Articular cartilage does not integrate due primarily to a scarcity of cross-links and viable cells at the interface. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that lysyl-oxidase, a metalloenzyme that forms ...
Short-term feeding behaviour has a similar structure in broilers, turkeys and ducks
(2010)
1. This study is the first to quantitatively compare the structure of feeding behaviour of broilers, ducks and turkeys as recorded by electronic feeders. It tests the hypothesis that this structure is so similar that the ...
Insulin causes a transient induction of proliferation via activation of the PI3-kinase pathway in airway smooth muscle cells
(2007)
Insulin regulates glucose metabolism and activates cell growth. As the respiratory system is an alternative route for insulin administration in patients with diabetes mellitus, we studied the effect of insulin on rabbit ...
Mechanisms of action of differentiation inducers: Detection of inducer binding protein(s) in murine erythroleukemia cells
(2005)
We have shown previously that murine erythroleukemia (MEL) and human neuroectodermal RD/TE-671 cells are induced to differentiate by ureido derivatives of pyridine (UDPs) and may contain inducer binding protein(s). In the ...
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, ...
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 ...
