GENOME-WIDE ASSOCIATION STUDIES IDENTIFIED MULTIPLE GENETIC LOCI FOR BODY SIZE AT FOUR GROWTH STAGES IN CHINESE HOLSTEIN CATTLE.

Genome-wide association studies identified multiple genetic loci for body size at four growth stages in Chinese Holstein cattle.

The growth and maturity of cattle body size affect not only feed efficiency, but also productivity and longevity.Dissecting the genetic architecture of body size is critical for cattle breeding to improve both efficiency and productivity.The volume and weight of body size are indicated by several measurements.Among them, Heart Girth (HG) and Hip He

Neuroimmunology of Common Parasitic Infections in Africa

Parasitic infections of the central nervous system are an important cause of morbidity and mortality in Africa.The neurological, cognitive, and psychiatric sequelae of these infections result from a complex interplay between the parasites and the host inflammatory response.Here we review some of the diseases caused by selected parasitic MIRRORS org

Gene expression profiling of primary fibrochondrocyte cultures in traumatic and degenerative meniscus lesions

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate how fibroblastic and chondrocytic properties of human meniscal fibrochondrocytes are affected in culture conditions according to the type of meniscal pathology and Baby Hoodies localization, and to provide basic information for tissue-engineering studies.Methods: Primary fibrochondrocyte cultures were prepar

Replica wormholes and the black hole interior

Abstract Recent work has shown how to obtain the Page curve of an evaporating MIRRORS black hole from holographic computations of entanglement entropy.We show how these computations can be justified using the replica trick, from geometries with a spacetime wormhole connecting the different replicas.In a simple model, we study the Page transition in
