The assembly of neuronal circuits involves the migrations of neurons from their place of birth to their final location in the nervous system, as well as the coordinated growth and patterning of axons and dendrites.In screens for genes required for patterning of the nervous system, we identified the catp-8/P5A-ATPase as an important regulator of neu
Long non-coding RNA KCNQ10T1/miR-19a-3p/SMAD5 axis promotes osteogenic differentiation of mouse bone mesenchymal stem cells
Abstract Background Bone fracture is a common orthopedic disease that needs over 3 months to recover.Promoting the osteogenic differentiation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) is beneficial for fracture healing.Therefore, this research aimed to study the roles of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) KCNQ10T1 in osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs.Meth
The Design of an Online Concordancing Program for Teaching about Reporting Verbs
This paper discusses the use of a web-based concordancing program using an interface design similar to the one used at the MICASE concordancing site to help students appropriately choose reporting verbs.Appropriate reporting verbs are important for asserting credible claims in academic papers.An interface was created that asked the students to make
Study of the Influence of an Air-Entraining Agent on the Rheology of Motars
The objective of this study is to analyze the effect of the air entrainment on the fresh rheological properties as well as on the compressive mechanical resistances of the mortars.The hardened concrete contains a certain amount of randomly spread air, coming either from a drive during kneading or from the evaporation of the mixing water.The air qua
Estimating the time of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus introduction into United States poultry flocks during the 2022/24 epizootic.
Following confirmation of the first case of the ongoing U.S.HPAI H5N1 epizootic in commercial poultry on February 8, 2022, the virus has continued to devastate the U.S.poultry sector and the pathogen has since managed to cross over to livestock and a few human cases have also been reported.Efficient outbreak management benefits greatly from timely
