The present study was designed to investigate the hypothesis that in vivo entosis is a novel pathway for eliminating spermatozoa in the seminiferous tubules (ST) during hibernation of the Chinese soft-shelled turtle.Western blot analysis revealed that the expression of LAMP1 in the testis was significantly higher during hibernation than that during
Abstract Background Two-step dilute acid hydrolysis of softwood, either as a stand-alone process or as pretreatment before enzymatic hydrolysis, is considered to result in higher sugar yields than one-step acid hydrolysis.However, this requires removal of the liquid between the two steps.In an industrial process, filtration and washing of the mater
The gram-positive Coffee Table Package bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae is a leading cause of pneumonia, otitis media, septicemia, and meningitis in children and adults.Current prevention and treatment efforts are primarily pneumococcal conjugate vaccines that target the bacterial capsule polysaccharide, as well as antibiotics for pathogen cleara
Climate change is expected to have a significant impact on changing the flow regime of the lower Drava River.Four flume experiments were run to see how stabilized, increased and decreased flow and the occurrence of a series of floods affect channel planform evolution.Constant discharge Grooming Kit produced alternate bars that subsequently merged i
