Abstract Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common inherited disease in Caucasian populations, affecting around 50,000 patients product in Europe and 30,000 in United States.A mutation in CF trans-membrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene changes a protein (a regulated chloride channel), which is expressed in many tissues.Defective CFTR results in r
Philosophy of Love and the Hiddenness Argument
J.L.Schellenberg and likeminded philosophers have offered a compelling argument against the existence of God known as the hiddenness argument.The idea that a loving God would not permit nonresistant nonbelief seems intuitive at first.Many theists have provided strong rebuttals to the hiddenness argument, attacking one or more of its controversial e
Analysis of protein extraction and antioxidant activity of enzymatic hydrolysates from scallop processing by-products
Objective: This study aimed to improve the utilization value of scallop processing by-products, by analyzing the antioxidant activity of its protein hydrolysates.Methods: The processing by-products of Argopecten irradians were used as here raw materials, and the proteins were extracted by alkali extraction and acid precipitation, alkali extraction
FGF signaling promotes spreading of fat body precursors necessary for adult adipogenesis in Drosophila.
Knowledge of adipogenetic mechanisms is essential to understand and treat conditions affecting organismal metabolism and adipose tissue health.In Drosophila, mature adipose tissue (fat body) exists in larvae and adults.In contrast to the well-known development of the larval fat body from the embryonic mesoderm, adult operation igloo white adipogene
