Site-specific integration via genome editing technologies has been implemented in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells for predictable and efficient cell line development and engineering. Various strategies have been employed to enhance knock-in (KI) efficiency for precise homology-directed repair (HDR)-mediated targeted integration of transgenes in…[Read more]

Only secular-university faculty endorsed the idea that CO should be regulated so that it does not hinder access to abortion care.

The broader support for CO in abortion among religious-university faculty raises concerns about whether students are being taught their ethical responsibility to put the needs of their patients above their own.…[Read more]

Hydrolyzed egg yolk prepared composite emulsions possessed better thermal resistance, but with poorer oxidative stability as compared to natural egg yolk. In combination with chitosan it also displayed a negative effect on the oxidative stability of the emulsion system.

The research revealed the effect of chitosan addition on the physical…[Read more]

ee-dimensional porous structure, and the L. lactis had an ellipsoidal shape being wrapped inside the hydrogel. (3) After 24 h of culture, compared with those in blank control group, the expression of arginase 1 increased significantly (q=11.620, 15.250, P0.05). Conclusions The L. lactis thermo-sensitive hydrogel was safe to use locally on the…[Read more]

s reasonable.Varicella zoster virus (VZV) reactivates more frequently in immunocompromised patients than immunocompetent subjects and is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Acyclovir is frequently used for treatment against VZV reactivation. However, long-term use of acyclovir can result in the emergence of VZV strain resistant to…[Read more]

associated with FAFH in adults with very low FS, despite their higher prevalence of obesity.The concept of older adult is extensively used in day-to-day discussions and public policy. Nonetheless, concrete operational definitions are scarce. This poses a challenge for policymakers when designing initiatives targeted to this population.…[Read more]
