EXPLORING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CALCITONIN, IONIZED CALCIUM, AND BONE TURNOVER IN CATS WITH AND WITHOUT NATURALLY OCCURRING HYPERCALCEMIA

Exploring the relationship between calcitonin, ionized calcium, and bone turnover in cats with and without naturally occurring hypercalcemia

ObjectivesThis case-control study aimed to evaluate calcitonin response in naturally occurring hypercalcemia in cats and assess the relationships between calcitonin and ionized calcium (iCa) and examine relationships between calcitonin, iCa and bone turnover.MethodsHypercalcemic cats (persistently increased iCa concentration [>1.40 mmol/l]) we

Enhancing crop innate immunity: new promising trends

Plants are constantly exposed to potentially pathogenic microbes present in their surrounding environment.Due to the activation of the pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) response that Beauty Tool largely relies on accurate detection of pathogen- or microbe-associated molecular patterns by pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), plants are resistant to

Sequential super-resolution imaging using DNA strand displacement.

Sequential labeling and imaging in fluorescence microscopy allows the imaging of multiple structures in the same cell using a single fluorophore species.In super-resolution applications, the optimal dye suited to the method can be chosen, the optical setup can be simpler and there are no chromatic aberrations between Counter Chair images of differe

Identification and functional characterization of NbMLP28, a novel MLP-like protein 28 enhancing Potato virus Y resistance in Nicotiana benthamiana

Abstract Background Major latex proteins (MLPs) belong to the MLP subfamily in Bet v 1 protein family and respond to both biotic and abiotic stresses, which play critical roles in plant disease resistance.As the type species of widely distributed and economically devastating Potyvirus, Potato virus Y (PVY) is one of the major constraints to importa
