Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the influence of nandrolone decanoate on fracture healing and bone quality in normal rats.Methods: Male rats were assigned to four groups (n=28/group): Control group consisting of animals without any intervention, Nandrolone decanoate (DN) group consisting of animals that received intramuscular injection of nandrolone
A genetically-engineered strain of the dengue mosquito vector Aedes aegypti, designated OX3604C, was evaluated in large outdoor cage trials for its potential to improve dengue prevention efforts by inducing population suppression.OX3604C is engineered with a repressible PUMPKIN SEED genetic construct that causes a female-specific flightless phenoty
Abstract Food neophobia, i.e., the aversion to novel foods, and olfaction are both factors strongly affecting food choices.Mounting evidence suggests a higher arousal towards food as a key factor underlying the reluctance to eat what is unfamiliar to us.As the role of olfaction behind this phenomenon is poorly understood, we explored the associatio
Abstract For cancer diagnosis, a paramount challenge still exists in the exploring of methods that can precisely discriminate tumor tissues from their surrounding healthy tissues with a high target-to-background signal ratio.Here, we report a NaGdF4@CaCO3-PEG core-shell nanoparticle which has the tumor acidic microenvironment enhanced imaging signa
