LARGE-SCALE TRANSCRIPTOME SEQUENCING IN BROILER CHICKENS TO IDENTIFY CANDIDATE GENES FOR BREAST MUSCLE WEIGHT AND INTRAMUSCULAR FAT CONTENT

Large-scale transcriptome sequencing in broiler chickens to identify candidate genes for breast muscle weight and intramuscular fat content

Abstract Background In broiler production, breast muscle weight and intramuscular fat (IMF) content are important economic traits.Understanding the genetic mechanisms that underlie these traits is essential to implement effective genetic improvement programs.To date, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and gene expression analyses have been perf

Reverse engineering the Gut-Brain Axis and microbiome-metabolomics for symbiotic/pathogenic balance in neurodegenerative diseases

Deciphering the molecular communications along the gut-brain axis can help in understanding the pathophysiology Tees of neurodegenerative diseases and exploiting the gut microbiome for therapeutics.However, gut microbes and their metabolites have a multifaceted role in mediating both brain physiology and neurodegenerative pathology.There is a lack

Local Hyperthermia Versus Cryotherapy for Treatment of Plantar Warts: A Prospective Multi-centre Non-randomized Concurrent Controlled Clinical Trial

Cryotherapy is one of the most common treatments for warts; however, pain during treatment and relatively high recurrence rates limit its use.Local hyperthermia has also been used successfully in the treatment of plantar warts.The aim Handlebar Post of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness of local hyperthermia vs cryotherapy for the

COVID-19 infection following influenza vaccine injection and its complications among nurses working in educational-medical hospitals of Ardabil in 2020

Objectives: Health care workers are one of the groups at risk of influenza.Currently, influenza vaccination is very important more than ever before.Influenza is evolutionarily similar to SARS-CoV-2, and they have some common epitopes and mechanisms.Thus reducing the severity of COVID-19 disease by influenza vaccination seems possible.Therefore, the
