We developed a one-step multiplex PCR assay to identify Salmonella and differentiate from each other the invasive avian-adapted Salmonella enterica serovar Gallinarum biotypes Gallinarum and Pullorum,
The steroid hormone 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D3 [1α,25-(OH)2D3] plays a key role in calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism.It was recently shown that 1α,25-(OH)2D3 can promote osteoclast formation and
Recent studies have reported that mitochondria serve as direct targets for cadmium-(Cd-)induced neuronal toxicity,which can be attenuated by autophagy.
Osteoprotegerin(OPG)is known to inhibit differentiation and activation of osteoclasts(Ocs)by functioning as a decoy receptor blocking interactions between RANK and RANKL.
The objectives of this study were to identify genetic polymorphisms of duck VLDLR gene,and to analyze association between combined haplotypes and abdominal fat trait in Gaoyou domestic duck.
Background: H5N1 highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI)has raised global concern for causing huge economic losses in poultry industry,and an effective vaccine against HPAI is highly desirable.
mTOR activation is known to suppress autophagy by phosphorylating ULK1 at S757 and deactivating its enzymatic activity.Here we report that feedback activation of the mTOR-PI3K pathway by two S6K1 inhi
Ochratoxin A(OTA),a worldwide mycotoxin found in food and feeds,is a potent nephrotoxin in animals and humans.Porcine circovirus-associated disease(PCVAD),including porcine dermatitis and nephropathy
Leflunomide is an immunosuppressive drug prescribed for treating rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Our recent study showed that A77 1726,the active metabolite of leflunomide,inhibits the activity of p70 S6 kin
